BJ's Restaurants•Temple, TX

11d•Onsite

About The Position

At BJ’s, we’ve been bringing people together to celebrate life’s moments since 1978. We’re more than a restaurant; we’re a team of craft-obsessed people who take serious pride in every pint. As a $1B company with 200+ locations, we offer the stability of a big player with the heart (and hops) of a local taproom. If you’re energized by teamwork and ready to master the craft, you’ll fit right in. Brewing is a labor of love! This is a high-energy, hands-on production role where you are the backbone of the Brewhouse. The Craft: From milling malt to kegging and canning finished beer, learn every step of making the highest-quality craft beer. The Workout: Moving kegs (up to 160lbs with assistance) and materials multiple times a day. The Climate: Working in hot brewing areas and cold storage (35°F), on elevated platforms, and around chemicals. The Gear: Operating valves, pumps, and pressure systems. Basic mechanical aptitude is a plus. The Shine: 30–40% of your shift is spent on cleaning and sanitizing tanks and facility upkeep. The Safety: This is a zero-tolerance alcohol and substance-free workplace. We make beer and save consuming it until we are off the clock. Authorized QC tastings follow strict documented protocols.
