Parrotdog was conceived in 2011 out of a love for good beer by three guys called Matt. Today, we’re continuing to do what they started back then: making approachable, award-winning beer from our rapidly expanding brewery in Lyall Bay, Wellington.
As a Brewing Assistant, you’ll play a key role in helping us produce high quality beer. Your day-to-day will include a mix of hands-on brewing and quality control tasks. Your responsibilities will include:
- Carrying out CIP (clean-in-place) and general sanitation procedures.
- Preparing and milling malt and involvement in wort production in accordance with recipe specifications.
- Conducting filtration and/or centrifugation processes, while maintaining quality and minimising product loss.
- Managing yeast, including harvesting, pitching, storage, and tracking yeast health and viability throughout fermentation cycles.
- Monitoring and recording fermentation progress and performing post-fermentation additions.
- Assisting with lab work and quality control procedures, including sampling, analysis, and documentation.
We are seeking an enthusiastic individual with a genuine passion for beer and the brewing industry to join our team. To be successful in this role, you will need:
- Basic knowledge of brewing processes
- Experience in a commercial brewing environment
- Working towards an IBD brewing qualification or equivalent
- The ability to perform physically demanding tasks in a brewery setting
- A motivated attitude, high standards and great attention to detail
- Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills
- The ability to work well under pressure and adapt to changing priorities
- A current Forklift Licence (or previous forklift operating experience)
This is a great opportunity for someone who is keen to take the next step in their brewing career, while working at New Zealand’s Champion Large Brewery for 2024.
