About The Position

As the Brewery Sanitation & Janitorial team member, you are the foundation of our brewing operation. Without a clean, sanitized brewery, great craft beer is impossible — and that’s where you come in. The Craft: A great brewery runs on a spotless floor. You are the reason our tanks, drains, equipment, and workspace meet high standards every single shift. The Work: Cleaning and sanitizing brewery equipment, tanks, fermenters, kegs, floors, and drains is the core of every shift. Expect 80–100% of your time spent in active sanitation and facility upkeep. The Environment: Work in a variety of conditions — including warm production areas (100°F+ on the brew deck), cold storage and cellar spaces (35°F), elevated platforms, and around industrial cleaning chemicals. The Shine: Safely handle, apply, and store commercial cleaning chemicals following all OSHA protocols, safety data sheets, and company procedures. The Standards: Follow all brewery sanitation, food safety, health, and quality procedures. Accuracy and consistency in sanitation logs and records is required. The Safety: Safety always comes first. Maintain a drug- and alcohol-free workplace in accordance with all company policies. Authorized quality tastings follow strict documented protocols only.
