Physical and Work Environment:

• Ability to lift up to 100 lbs (and 50 lbs to shoulder height)
• Comfortable working at heights, in tight spaces, and around moving machinery

This is more than a maintenance job – it’s a chance to be part of a team that makes something people love. You’ll be surrounded by people who care about what they do, and you’ll play a direct role in keeping our brewery running smoothly. We offer competitive pay, great benefits, and the chance to build your career in a hands‑on, exciting environment.

If you’re ready to put your skills to work in a brewery that values innovation, teamwork, and community, we’d love to hear from you.
