*Please note, the timeline for this position has been pushed back. We are now looking to hire in April/May 2013. Thank you for your interest!*
Fremont Brewing Company is accepting applications for our next Packaging Manager, looking to hire in April/May 2013. This is a transitional position, which means you'll start by working on our packaging line, train with us and move up to a Packaging Operator, then eventually transition into the full role of Packaging Manager. We expect this process to take approximately 3-4 months. This position is full-time.
We currently run a 5-head Cask canning line and distribute 4-pak & 6-pak 12oz cans. We will be acquiring a 6-head Maheen bottler in Summer 2013 for 22oz bottle distribution. Down the road, we will also integrate keg filling/inventory and related tasks into the Packaging Manager position.
Our brewery is growing rapidly. Over the next few years, our Packaging Manager will grow from an already important part of our team into a truly critical pillar of our production capabilities. The breadth and scope of the role will continue to expand and our ideal candidate MUST be prepared to learn and grow with us.
