Gilman Brewing is looking for a new member to join us at the shop. We are seeking an experienced applicant for a full time cellar/packaging manager position. We have a mellow family environment and a great position within the growing East Bay brewing community.
We focus on farmhouse and Belgian styles (yes, we still love IPAs and distribute a killer double as one of our flagships so don’t worry…). This position does have advancement potential for the qualified individual with the opportunity to grow into an assistant brewer position.
We believe that every position in the brewery shares responsibility for producing an exceptional product- the contribution of each individual on the team, from production to processing to serving, merits the same respect and level of involvement in the process and deserves the same level of recognition for those efforts. This is very much a family, team, and passion first and a business second.
JOB DESCRIPTION:
The cellar manager is responsible for all aspects of the processes related to fermentation, conditioning, treatment, clarification, carbonation, and packaging of product.
This position requires a hard working, dedicated, and self-motivated individual with the ability to synthesize information and intelligently troubleshoot. Dedication to continued improvement, growth, and learning is extremely important. The ideal candidate should also recognize that everything we do at work as well as in public reflects on the business. An ability to embody our family vibe and the stoke in what we do to the public is vital, as is a lack of ego and a great sense of humor.
Natural leadership, integrity, loyalty, and a good sense of humor are all factors in whom we hire.
