Senior Culinary Artisan (Cheesemaking Apprenticeship)

About us:

Medor is a leading recruitment partner in Indonesia and Asia-Pacific, bringing over a decade of experience. We specialize in finding top talent that aligns with company culture and expectations, utilizing thorough assessments to ensure the best fit. Our expertise covers all hiring levels across industries such as IT, construction, logistics, and finance.

About the customer:

Our customer is an artisanal cheesery based in Dalung, Bali, crafting small-batch cheeses using European techniques and locally sourced milk. They supply handcrafted cheeses to some of Indonesia's leading restaurants and resorts. The team values precision, patience, and craftsmanship over factory-style production, creating an environment where culinary professionals can transition into a lifelong craft.

Job Summary:

This role offers a unique opportunity for experienced culinary professionals to transition from kitchen leadership to cheesemaking mastery. The selected candidate will work closely with a French Head Cheesemaker, supporting daily operations while learning the full cheesemaking process from milk preparation to aging and packaging.

While no prior cheesemaking experience is required, this position demands maturity, reliability, and a strong work ethic. The right individual will bring professional kitchen discipline, leadership, and curiosity to develop into a second-in-command (2IC) position within the cheesemaking team.

Responsibilities:

  • Support daily cheesemaking operations including milk preparation, curd cutting, pressing, salting, aging, and packaging.
  • Supervise and coordinate the production team, ensuring smooth workflow and adherence to standards.
  • Maintain high standards of hygiene, precision, and documentation throughout production.
  • Contribute to process improvement, system organization, and equipment maintenance.
  • Uphold professionalism, teamwork, and consistency in the production environment.
  • Demonstrate a learning mindset and commitment to long-term skill mastery.

Requirements:

  • Background in culinary, pastry, or bakery operations — ideally at a supervisory or chef level.
  • Proven work ethic and reliability; able to work efficiently within a disciplined process.
  • Experience working in international or international-standard kitchens.
  • Physically fit and comfortable with hands-on, active work.
  • Fluent in English & Bahasa Indonesia, able to collaborate within an international team.
  • Demonstrates curiosity for fermentation, food science, and craftsmanship.
  • Long-term mindset — committed to building a sustainable career, not a short-term role.

Benefit:

  • Five-day work week (no late-night shifts typical in F&B).
  • Chef-level salary with performance-based increases.
  • Mentorship from international experts in artisanal cheesemaking.
  • Access to global cheesemaking networks, including training and placements in Australia and France.
  • A clear career growth path:

    Senior Cheesemaker → Deputy Head Cheesemaker → Head Cheesemaker (Indonesia or International Placement)
