PACKAGING SHIFT LEAD

Full-Time

ABOUT ASAHI BEER USA / OCTOPI BREWING

Founded in 2014 as a Wisconsin contract brewery, Octopi Brewing has spent over a decade brewing and packaging beer, seltzers, RTDs, and sodas for clients nationwide. In 2024, Asahi — brewers of Asahi Super Dry — acquired Octopi, making us the U.S. production home of Super Dry. Today, our 250+ person team of beverage industry pros keeps that same local, quality-first spirit alive at a state-of-the-art facility. Our packaging lines run right alongside the cellar and brewhouse, keeping fresh product moving from tank to can around the clock.

THE OPPORTUNITY

WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE GREAT

• Real leadership of your own line and crew — scheduling, training, and day-to-day decisions are yours

• Complete the daily shift report and production reports, including QA/QC sheets, pallet tickets, and run data
• Work with the team to flag issues and submit maintenance work orders
• Support CIPs and preventative maintenance, and jump on the machines — bottle filler, canning line, and kegger — as needed
• Lead by example on safety, SOPs, cleaning procedures, and a clean, organized workspace

WHAT YOU BRING

Must-haves:

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Prior manufacturing experience

• 120 hours of PTO annually, with accrual that grows the longer you're here
• 9 paid holidays (if they fall on your scheduled workday)
