We make amazing award-winning beers and spirits from our home in Southwold, have some great shops across the region and operate some stunning pubs and hotels. We understand the value of every customer and work hard to deliver amazing service in a time of exciting innovation and digital transformation.

We do all of this while caring passionately about the environment, our local communities and our wider social responsibilities.

At Adnams we really care about diversity and are proud of our culture where everyone is respected, valued and treated with kindness.

What are we looking for?

The successful candidate must demonstrate a passion for the industry and our brand with a can-do approach. Whilst previous experience in manufacturing environments is desirable it is not essential. A forklift course can be provided for those candidates without a license. Competent Microsoft Office skills are desirable. The ability to communicate effectively and work in a team is necessary as the role involves working in a packaging team and alongside brewing, engineering, planning and warehouse. Record keeping skills are a prerequisite.

To ensure our beers are packaged in mini kegs, kegs and casks to the highest Quality Standards whilst working against a production plan. This should all be done whilst following Standard Operating Procedures and working in a safe manner as set out by our Health and Safety Policy and procedures.

We expect the candidate to be able to work rotational shifts whilst remaining flexible as production plans are subject to change. Shifts are dependent on the types of packaging and the production volumes however, standard shifts currently are 6.30am-3pm and 9.30am-6pm.

We want the candidate to be able to set up production lines; carry out basic Quality checks both in the laboratory and on the line to ensure product is to specification; set up and starting Cleaning In Place (CIP); responsible for carrying out some maintenance, hygiene and housekeeping duties; and to move raw materials and final stock via a forklift.

What’s in it for you?

Hopefully, a sense of pride that you are working for a business that cares about the important stuff and a lot of fun working with an amazing bunch of people.

Enthusiastic and hard-working people who join Adnams tend to stay around so we must get quite a lot of things right. We really admire innovation and are not afraid to try something new, so you get to put new ideas into practice to deliver even better results for everyone.
