Full job description

H-Mart Edmonton is looking for an experienced, passionate, and leadership-driven Head Butcher to oversee our fast-paced Meat Department. As the Head Butcher, you will be the backbone of our meat operations, ensuring the highest quality Asian cuts, maintaining exceptional food safety standards, and leading a dedicated team of cutters and clerks.

If you have a deep mastery of whole-meat product and specialized retail butchery, a sharp eye for inventory control, and a knack for team leadership, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

Department Leadership: Lead the onboarding and continuous training of apprentices, cutters, and clerks; cross-train staff on specialized cutting techniques, equipment safety, and product knowledge to build a highly skilled team.
Master Butchery: Expertly cut, trim, bone, and portion various meats (beef, pork, poultry) according to H-Mart standards, including specialized Asian-style cuts (e.g., thin-slicing for hot pot/KBBQ).
Inventory & Ordering: Monitor stock levels, place orders for raw materials, minimize waste, and implement strategies to meet gross profit margins.
Merchandising & Sanitation: Ensure all display cases are beautifully merchandised, accurately priced, and consistently rotated following strict FIFO (First-In, First-Out) principles, while maintaining immaculate departmental cleanliness and sanitation standards.
Food Safety & Compliance: Maintain a spotless workspace; strictly enforce provincial health, safety, and sanitation standards regarding tools, machinery, and meat handling.

Qualifications

Experience: Minimum of 3 years of professional butchery experience, with a supervisory or leadership role
Education : Completion of secondary education is required. Completion of a college-level program in culinary management or butchery training is preferred but not mandatory.
Technical Skills: Expert knife skills and proficiency with commercial meat saws, grinders, and slicers. Knowledge of specialized Asian meat cuts is highly desirable.
Leadership Style: Strong communication skills, a collaborative mindset, and the ability to motivate a diverse team.
Physical Capability: Ability to work in a cold environment (refrigerated cutting rooms), stand for extended periods, and lift heavy loads (up to 50+ lbs).
Availability: Flexible schedule, including weekends and holidays as dictated by retail business needs.

What We Offer

Compensation: $38.00 – $40.00/hr based on experience plus 4% Vacation fee
Overtime Pay: Paid overtime in accordance with Alberta employment standards for extra hours worked.
