Victoria, Canada Fairway Market (multiple locations) Full time

**Fairway Market -** is a locally owned and operated grocery chain on Vancouver Island. Fairway Market’s operates 9 grocery stores and has been serving Vancouver Island for over 61 years.

**Duties**

Butchers and meat cutters typically do the following:

- Sharpen and adjust cutting equipment
- Receive, inspect, and store meat upon delivery
- Cut, bone, or grind pieces of meat
- Weigh, wrap, and display cuts of meat
- Cut or prepare meats to specification or customer’s orders
- Store meats in refrigerators or freezers at the required temperature
- Keep inventory of meat sales and order meat supplies
- Clean equipment and work areas to maintain health and sanitation standards

Butchers and meat cutters cut and trim meat from larger, wholesale portions into steaks, chops, roasts, and other cuts. They then prepare meat for sale by performing various duties, such as weighing meat, wrapping it, and putting it out for display. In retail stores, they also may wait on customers and prepare special cuts of meat upon request.

Butchers and meat cutters in meat processing plants may have a more limited range of duties than those working in a grocery store or specialty meat shop. Because they typically work on an assembly line, those in processing plants usually perform one specific function—a single cut—during their shift.

Butchers and meat cutters use sharp tools such as knives, grinders, or meat saws. They must follow sanitation standards when cleaning equipment, counter tops, and working areas in order to prevent meat contamination.

Work Environment

The work can be physically demanding, particularly for those who make repetitive cuts in processing plants. In addition, butchers and meat cutters typically stand all day, and workers often must lift and move heavy carcasses or boxes of meat supplies.

Because meat must be kept at certain temperatures, working in cold rooms—below 40 degrees Fahrenheit—for extended periods is common.

Butchers and meat cutters, especially those who fill customer’s orders in grocery or specialty stores, must keep their hands and working areas clean to prevent meat contamination and to be presentable for customers.

Pay Rate is based on experience and not the rate post in the above advertisement.
