2. Production Admin – managing all corresponding logistics required to ensure that weekly production runs happen smoothly and efficiently – i.e. arranging road tanker deliveries for the movement of bulk beer.

3. Raw Material Ordering – forecasting raw material usage in-line with production plans,
ordering sufficient raw materials stocks, and managing inbound logistics at the brewery in order to maintain healthy raw material stock levels and to prevent any potential production downtime as a result of raw material shortages. You will also be responsible for negotiating with key raw material and packaging suppliers to ensure that our rates are always competitive.

that our internal system is always up to date and accurate with reliable back of house data.

brewery and contributing towards the quarterly review process in-line with key objectives and KPIs, whilst also inputting towards brewery efficiency and improvement projects, to drive mutually beneficial results.

6. Sustainability Projects – contributing towards any sustainability projects related to the
brewery and working with key suppliers to deliver sustainability-focused improvements with the goal of increasing transparency and traceability of packaging and raw materials throughout our supply chain. This will also include ownership of relevant reporting requirements, such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), and corresponding packaging source reduction projects to help reduce our packaging liabilities.

7. Invoice Approval – reviewing raw material and packaging invoices with careful attention
to detail to ensure that all invoices are correct and charged at the right prices as per
