Now in its 16th year of operation, Feral Brewing is one of Western Australia's longest established and well regarded brewing companies. The production team is after a packaging line operator to join the crew – here's what you need to know about the role.
JOB DESCRIPTION: PACKAGING LINE OPERATIONS LEADER
In 2002 Feral Brewing Co opened its doors in the Swan Valley – Western Australia's oldest wine region – at a time when Australia's choice of beer was pretty much only domestic lager. Taking inspirations from the full flavoured ales prevalent in the US craft beer scene, a team set out to brew beer unlike anything else found locally. The result was something deliberately and distinctively FERAL. Feral Brewing is now one of the top craft breweries in Australia, and consistently creates some of the best and most awarded beers in Australia. If you have an unyielding passion for quality craft beer and packaging line operations and/or maintenance experience, this position might be perfect for you…
