Job description

About Us

COMPANY SHARES | BONUS SCHEME | PENSION ENHANCEMENTS UP TO 10% | 4-WEEK SABBATICAL EVERY 5 YEARS | STAFF DISCOUNT | EXTRA HOLIDAY DAY EACH YEAR | ADDITIONAL PAY FOR EACH BEER EXAM PASSED

We love great craft beer. We want everyone to be as passionate about it as we are - and our central team are vital in this mission. Every single person in our team can shape our future for the better, whether that’s for our people, planet or our incredible beer. Because we expect great things from you, we give great things back.

HOP STOCK | We believe in sharing our success with our crew and have a unique Hop Stock benefit for our salaried team. That means you share in our success, and if we grow strongly, we win together.

BONUS SCHEME | Via BrewDog bonus scheme, our amazing crew members get rewarded when we succeed as a business. We wouldn’t be able to do it without you so it’s only right we share the success together.

PENSION ENHANCEMENT | We increase our contributions to your pension up to 10% of your salary so together we can properly invest in your future. And, since the statutory amount all businesses pay is 3%, our decision to pay above that shows we’re taking your future seriously.

4-WEEK SABBATICAL| After every 5 years here you will receive an additional 4 weeks off to spend doing whatever you want.

STAFF DISCOUNT | 25% off in bars, 30% off online and 50% off BrewDog Merch to fill up your fridge and your wardrobe* (*don’t put your hoody in the fridge though)

ADDITIONAL HOLIDAY DAYS | For every full year completed up to your 5th year with us we add on one additional day’s leave above and beyond your initial entitlement. You therefore get an extra full week off at 5 years every single year onward to rest up.

BEER TRAINING | We love beer and we want you to love beer too, so we’ll support you through the internationally-recognised Cicerone qualifications, so you can love it almost as much as we do. We’ll also pay you more for each level you pass.

AND A LOT MORE | Okay, deep breath… enhanced sick pay, healthcare, life assurance, high street retail discounts, employee assistance programmes, enhanced family friendly policies around maternity and paternity leave, pawternity leave, DE+I and crew forum groups and an allowance to quality check some beers each month!

We’re focused on making sure that we, and future generations, have a planet to brew great beer on. Our industry leading techniques help us create and deliver unique beer whilst doing our bit (and others’) for the environment.

About The Role

The Role:

As a Packaging Operator, you’ll play a key role in ensuring our world-class beers are packaged to the highest standards. Working on our canning, bottling, and kegging lines, you’ll be responsible for operating machinery, performing quality checks, and keeping production running smoothly.

What We’re Looking For

  • Previous experience in a packaging or production environment is preferable but not essential.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, physically demanding environment.
  • Willingness to work our 24/5 shift pattern consisting of an early shift (6am-2pm), a late shift (2pm-10pm) and a night shift (10pm to 6am) with the shift alternating every week.
  • Passion for craft beer and brewing is a plus!

Principal Duties And Responsibilities

  • Ensure compliance with safety standards by strictly following workplace safety protocols, to reduce the risk of accidents and ensure a safe working environment for all team members.
  • Monitor product quality during packaging by conducting regular inspections, ensuring that beer bottles, cans, kegs, and labels meet quality standards for consumer safety and satisfaction.
  • Operate packaging machinery safely and effectively, ensuring the packaging line runs smoothly whilst preventing production downtime and maintaining output targets.
  • Conduct routine cleaning of equipment by performing regular hygiene tasks, which helps prevent contamination and ensures equipment operates at optimal performance levels.
  • Collaborate with team members to meet production goals by assisting colleagues and following instructions, helping to achieve set packaging targets within scheduled timeframes.
  • Perform the setup and changeover of packaging lines by assisting with adjustments and settings for different bottle/can sizes or packaging formats, ensuring the smooth transition between different product runs.
  • Report safety hazards and production issues to supervisors by promptly identifying and communicating risks or equipment malfunctions, minimising downtime and maintaining a safe work environment.
  • Help to implement continuous improvement initiatives by suggesting and supporting process improvements, which increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the packaging line while reducing waste and costs.
  • Complete required training and certification programs by actively participating in safety, quality, and equipment training sessions, ensuring the role is performed with the highest level of competence and compliance.
