The Role:
This role gives you a bit of experience in all aspects of the business, and builds a great foundation to continue growing and specializing into new roles.

- Running staff training and tastings.
- Setting up and attending events to promote our brand and educate customers about b.effect and our beverages.
The role will come with plenty of training in the first year, and as part of this we would encourage and pay for further studies / training as well following that. So ideally the applicant would see this as a role they could develop in and grow with the business. We are looking for someone who intends to stay in Wanaka for the long term.
Preference will be given to local candidates who are able to start immediately. A minimum of 1 in person interview and a short trial period helping in the brewery will also be needed.
