Job Description

Main Purpose of Job

This full-time role is primarily focused on driving and delivering our brewery products to customers in a safe, timely, and professional manner. Deliveries include a mix of local and nationwide routes, requiring flexibility in scheduling and route planning. As a key representative of the business, the driver will ensure excellent customer service and maintain high standards in product handling and presentation. When delivery demand is lower, the role includes supporting the brewery team with cask washing and general production tasks. The role involves regular manual handling and lifting of heavy items such as casks and kegs, requiring good physical fitness and safe lifting practices.

Plan and execute delivery routes efficiently, keeping all logs and digital records up to date. Provide a friendly and helpful service during deliveries, acting as a positive face of the business. Carry out daily vehicle checks and report any mechanical or safety concerns promptly. Regularly clean and maintain delivery vehicles, both inside and out, to keep them presentable and roadworthy. Perform manual handling tasks including lifting, loading, and unloading heavy casks, kegs, and other items, in accordance with health and safety guidelines.

Cask Washing & Brewery Support (Secondary Duty)

Clean and sanitise casks using appropriate equipment to meet hygiene and quality standards. Inspect casks for wear or damage, carry out minor repairs, or report issues to the Head Brewer. Assist with cask filling, labelling (including allergen and batch tracking info), and maintaining accurate records. Maintain accurate records of cleaned and filled casks and assist with inventory tasks. Support general brewery operations as needed, including stock handling, racking, and cleaning. Perform cleaning tasks in the brewery to maintain a safe and efficient work environment.
