We are looking for a Packaging Assistant to add to our team in our Manchester brewery to grow our packaging team. We are likely to prefer candidates with relevant, or prior experience of packaging beer, canning lines, and beer packaging quality concerns. However, in line with our company goal to improve opportunities for underrepresented people within the beer industry, we will welcome applications that allow us to pursue this goal, with the opportunity to undertake relevant training necessary to develop your expertise, and bring you up to speed with the industry as needed.

You will be responsible for assisting to run all parts of our canning line which will entail its set-up, maintenance and working together with your colleagues, along with keg preparation and filling, cask washing and racking, bottling and kegging of barrel aged beers and performing QA checks and tank preparation for packaged beers.

The role requires quick and precise work, high diligence and exacting standards for quality, with relentless attention to detail. A sense of calmness under pressure is much desired, as is the ability to provide clear communication throughout the team. A sheer love of maintaining a meticulous workspace, and productive problem-solving for minimising losses and improving processes is a strong plus.

You will assist in the Quality Assurance analysis before all packaging runs and ensure the immaculate presentation of all packaged products and accurate recording of packing data.

If you are deeply committed to sterile working practices and tidy work spaces, are happy to work on your feet, work excellently on your own and as part of a team, thrive on focusing attention on and gaining efficiencies in repetitive tasks, and have impeccable personal presentation standards, please fill out this form and have your CV ready to upload. We will reward your efforts with a salary starting at £25,000 per annum in return for an average of 40 hours work a week.

We’re looking to employ you as soon as possible, so the deadline for applications is 30th of October at 9am. You must be available for an interview the following week.
