Job Description

Blue Owl is Hiring a Packaging Person! Blue Owl Brewing is a unique brewery in Austin, Texas producing both sour and non-sour beers on a 30 bbl system. We are looking to fill a vacancy immediately for a packaging person with 1-3 years of packaging experience. Our ideal candidate would have some packaging experience under their belt and really enjoy organization and a well running packaging machine. We are a small group of passionate, talented, creative folks so we need a good fit culturally as well as adaptability as we all do a little bit of everything. We offer a competitive wage, 3 weeks PTO, free beer (of course), and because of our small workforce, a lot of opportunity for collaboration in beer prototyping, brand design, and continued education. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————— Job responsibilities include:

• Raw materials: Procuring packaging materials like carriers, trays, and cans; organization, management, and inventory
• Packaging: We package our beer using a Wild Goose 5-head can filler. The candidate would need to be familiar with this machine or able to run a similar canning line. This includes prep, cleaning, and maintenance. Also, kegging and keg cleaning will be part of the week (but that’s generally more straightforward).
• Finished Product Management: All the canned/kegged product needs to go somewhere! So the candidate would work with our distributor as well as our taproom to establish how much is needed and where.
• Cleaning and Organizing: This role is the go-to person for making sure the warehouse area is organized, cleaned, and ready for the next process event. This includes a lot of forklift work. Our brewery isn’t all that huge so keeping things organized is key for everyone’s sake!
• Weekly Breakdown: A typical work-week will include 2 days working on the canning line and kegging. There’s another 2 days of prep work for the canning runs and organizing for the upcoming week. Finally there’s generally a wrap up day for cleaning and preparing for the following week.
• Cellar duties: ideally this candidate would have either some cellar experience or a willingness to get training to help in the cellar. Like I said, we’re a small group and tend to help each other out as needed. Duties might include dry-hopping, racking, cleaning/sanitizing tanks, and conditioning beers for packaging.

Ideal experience and abilities:

• 1-3 years of relevant packaging experience
• Self-management and accountability are crucial in this environment where it’s a small team, leanly operating.

We are an equal opportunity employer. To apply please send a cover letter and resume tojeff@blueowlbrewing.comwith “Packaging Position” in the subject. #J-18808-Ljbffr Texas Craft Brewers Guild
