    Over the last two decades, a wave of coffee roasters across the globe, known as the Third Wave, redefined ideas about sourcing, roasting and brewing coffee. Abandoning old approaches, these pioneers saw coffee as a natural product with many possibilities, recognising that different varietals, growing conditions, processing methods and brewing techniques could each yield something distinctive in the final cup. Inspired by this movement, brothers Steven and Trevor Simmons founded Industry Beans in Melbourne in 2010. Their vision was to roast high-quality specialty coffee in a carefully curated environment of transparency and accessibility, to offer the ultimate coffee experience to their community. In 2013 they opened the first Industry Beans venue: an all-under-one roof coffee roastery and brew bar in Fitzroy, Melbourne. There, they won over coffee lovers and everyday brunch-goers alike, becoming internationally recognised for their innovative approaches to coffee roasting and commitment to creating unique hospitality experiences. After ten years, Industry Beans has grown to now roast coffee, operate cafes in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane and offer a complete IB experience eCommerce range including. Every Industry Beans venue is unique to its location and community, and share the same commitment to quality, transparency and accessibility upon which the business was founded.

    Great people, great product and an awesome culture!
    The good thingsThe work-life balance is great making it one of those places where you're not expected to be "on" 24/7, which makes a big difference. The product itself is fantastic, so it's easy to feel proud of what you're representing day to day. What stands out most is the leadership. The bosses genuinely care about the team and how people are going, not just the numbers. It creates a good culture that you want to be a part of and contribute to. The free coffee doesn't hurt either.
    The challengesI really struggle to think of anything that could make this job any better - it's been the best job i've ever had.

    The good thingsGreat team environment and strong sense of support across staff. I really enjoyed working with everyone day to day, and the workplace had a good balance of professionalism and fun. It’s a fast-paced environment which keeps things engaging, and I learned a lot during my time there.
    The challengesLike most busy cafes, it can get quite fast-paced and demanding, especially during peak hours. There can be some variation in shifts and workload depending on the day, but overall it’s part of the nature of the industry.
