    About Us

    Phantom Carriage is a new craft brewery that includes a 3bbl pilot system, blendery/barrel cellar program, an on-site tasting room and European/Pacific Northwest-inspired café. Located within Los Angeles County in the City of Carson, California, Phantom Carriage Brewery is nearly adjacent to the well-known Goodyear blimp-docking field and is easily accessible via major Southland freeways, including the 405, 91, and 110.

    Job Description

    We have an immediate opening for a part-time, entry-level position as Production Assistant. We are looking for a passionate, trustworthy and responsible individual who is excited to work in the fast-growing craft beer industry. Prior experience working in a brewery, winery, or distillery is preferred but not required. Homebrewing experience is also preferred but not required.

    Daily Duties, Functions, Responsibilities

    This is your day/week/month in a nutshell:

    • Follow daily and weekly cleaning schedules to maintain a clean working environment. Yes, there is LOTS of cleaning. The hose, mop, and floor squeegee will become your best friends.
    • Work closely with brewing team to achieve desired quality and production targets;
    • Oak barrel cellar maintenance: barrel cleaning, preparation, water testing, inspecting for barrel leaks, and monitoring air locks -- pretty much complete all assigned tasks in accordance with company SOP.
    • Taking and monitoring temperature readings on all fermentation tanks and barrels.
    • Follow all safety procedures. To a ‘T’. Cutting corners will not be tolerated.
    • Assist with keeping accurate inventory and quality management of production brewing materials.
    • Moving kegs (empty & filled), barrels (empty & filled), bottles (yes, empty & filled), and various raw materials with a pallet jack and forklift. Proper on-site training will be provided. Bottom line: some of this stuff is heavy and needs to be respected.
    • Periodic handling of hazardous chemicals is involved.
    • Help keep accurate daily production records per company and Federal Requirements. This is critical. Attention to detail a must.
    • Properly and continually maintain all of the on-site equipment, including but definitely not limited to the mill room, brewhouse, cellar, forklift, pallet jack, barrels, and brewing equipment.
    • Attend mandatory production meetings and contribute to product improvement. You are an important part of our team. We want to hear what you have to say.
    • Give the tasting room/café a hand when needed.
    • Proudly represent Phantom Carriage Brewery at events and beer festivals. The fun part of this job. But it’s still a job. Must be professional.
    • We are professional yet easy going. Would like the same from you.

    Requirements

    The reality is that this is a demanding, physical position. Applicants must possess ALL of these requirements:

    • Safety is our first priority. Working at a production brewery comes with inherent risk. Everyone’s job safety is our top priority and focus.
    • Honesty is right up there. Strong, good-hearted character.
    • Great attitude and easy to work with follow close behind.
    • Be self-motivated with an attention to detail. No slackers!
    • The ability to work well independently and with a team (often in close physical proximity).
    • Ability to routinely and repetitively lift 55lbs 60” high – occasionally 170 lbs.
    • No tardiness. You must have the ability to get to work on time to keep a production schedule. Excuses will not be tolerated.
    • Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
    • Must be computer literate and have familiarity with Microsoft Office products (Word, Excel). Must be Internet savvy as well and have the ability to learn and work with brewery-specific software.
