Brewery Operative

Cold Town is an Edinburgh based craft brewery. Established in 2018 our beer is now a popular fixture on draft in pubs across Scotland and we are rapidly expanding into the off trade.

To support this expansion the Brewery is currently looking for a Brewery Operative to join their fast‑paced production team at Dunedin Street.

The successful candidate will join a small team working across all areas of the packaging, brewing and delivery processes. Initially the main focus of the role will be in packaging and stock management.

Reporting to the Packaging manager you will work on a shift basis, based on the needs of production:

• Assisting with the completion of kegging and stock management operations.
• Assisting with the completion of brewing, cellar and filtration operations where required.
• CIP (Clean in Place) of vessels.
• Maintaining a high standard of hygiene and housekeeping throughout the production facility.
• Ensuring production and stock records are accurate and up to date.
• Quality testing (and tasting!).
• Occasional representation of the company at trade shows and customer‑facing events.
• Core working hours will normally be 40 hrs per week with shifts possible between 6am and 10pm Monday to Friday with occasional weekend working. Typical shifts will run 7am‑3pm and 1pm‑9pm (40 hrs) or as agreed with your line manager.
• It may be necessary from time to time for you to work at one of our other sites in central Edinburgh.

Experience working in a brewery with knowledge of brewing/packaging processes or working in a food manufacturing environment would be beneficial but not essential.

Good numerical skills and the ability to work as part of a team and independently without supervision is required.

The role suits a friendly, dynamic individual with a passion for great beer and a drive to learn about brewing.

A full, clean, UK driver’s licence is preferable but not essential, FLT certificate highly desirable.

• Overtime, if required, will be paid at time and a half.
• Progression and personal development opportunities; individual training plans for all new joiners.
• After 1 year we will offer enrolment for the IBD General Certificate for all staff that would like to pursue this.
• Annual pay increments based on completion of job training and overall performance.
• Wider benefits include staff discount ranging from 25% to 50% on food & beverages at all Signature Group Venues, an Employee Assistance Program, and extra annual leave days gathered through service.

We look after our team and provide access to our 24/7 Employee Assistance Program. Signature Group believes in promoting a healthy work / life balance.
