- 1 Knobel Machine Operator job: operating the computer driven depositing and moulding line. This job starts from c. 25th May 2026. You would ideally spend the first 2 weeks being trained in our current factory in Devon. We would pay for you to stay in a hotel Monday - Friday to do this

Willie’s Cacao makes some of the world’s finest chocolate from bean to the bar, using single estate beans and completely natural ingredients. We make many different types of chocolates from bars to truffles and hot chocolate. There are many stages of production, eg roasting and shelling the beans, making caramel, conching chocolate, tempering and depositing chocolate, pressing cocoa powder, packing in various packaging formats. The factory is SALSA accredited, so we have quality, traceability and health and safety controls at all stages of production.
