Fort George Brewery and Public House in Astoria, Oregon is hiring a Brewery Manager. This is an opportunity to live and work in one of the most beautiful small towns in the world, for a well organized, established and rapidly growing brewery.
The brewery manager will report to the Head Brewer. The Brewery manager will be responsible for running two breweries safely and at ever increasing levels of quality.
This person must have a unique skill set that includes flexibility, sense of humor, and the ability to see the big picture with a laser focus on detail. We have a solid, hard-working crew whose respect must be earned through good listening skills, competent brewing knowledge and an impeccable work ethic.
The Applicant should be familiar with Lean Manufacturing principles and techniques. We request 5 years of production and pub brewing experience as well as management experience. Competence with Word/Excel and general computer skills will be required, as you will be mucking around a desk as much as mucking around in mash.
You will be the face of Fort George at tastings, festivals, dinners, and conferences as well as represent us to our vendors and clients. Public speaking and excellent writing skills are required. We expect you to have an insatiable thirst for beer knowledge and the drive to teach others what you know.
We are prepared to offer a competitive wage based on experience level, health benefits and other negotiated compensation.
