Brewer – Brew Union

You’ll be hands-on across the full production process: brewing, fermentation, cellaring, packaging, and kegging. You’ll keep the brewery clean, records accurate, and beer consistent. There’s also a bar and wholesale side to the business, so the ability to work across teams and talk confidently about what you make is part of the job. This is a 40-hour per week role. Brewing doesn’t keep office hours, so early starts are part of the deal. We’re a small team, which means you’ll need to be self-directed and comfortable picking up the slack where it’s needed.

Key responsibilities

  • Hands-on work across the full production process: brewing, fermentation, cellaring, packaging, and kegging

About you

  • Genuine passion for beer — the kind that goes beyond just drinking it

  • NZ Certificate in Brewing (Levels 4/5) preferred but not essential if your experience speaks for itself
  • NZ work rights are essential (we are not AEWV accredited)
