At Brewpoint, we’re passionate about brewing great beer and delivering exceptional service to our customers. We’re looking for a Multi-Skilled Maintenance Technician to help keep our brewery operating safely, efficiently and reliably.

This isn’t a traditional engineering role. You’ll work closely with our Brewing, Cellaring, Packaging and Distribution teams, playing a key part in improving equipment performance, reducing downtime and supporting continuous improvement across the brewery. You’ll also have the opportunity to get hands‑on with production operations when required, making a real impact on the success of the business.

Based in BEDFORD, this role requires a rotating three-week shift pattern between 6am-10pm to provide maintenance and process support across both production shifts:

Key Accountabilities:

  • Carrying out planned preventative maintenance across brewery, utilities and distribution equipment.
  • Diagnosing faults, responding to breakdowns and supporting repairs to minimise downtime.
  • Working alongside production teams to improve reliability, efficiency and performance.
  • Supporting sustainability initiatives to reduce water, energy and effluent consumption.
  • Investigating recurring issues and identifying opportunities for continuous improvement.
  • Maintaining accurate maintenance records and supporting compliance activities.
  • Ensuring safe working practices are followed at all times.
  • Providing operational support during peak production periods when required.

What we are looking for:

  • Multi-skilled engineering experience within an FMCG, manufacturing or production environment.
  • Strong mechanical and fault-finding skills with a proactive, problem-solving mindset.
  • An engineering qualification or completion of a recognised engineering apprenticeship.
  • Experience working with maintenance management systems.
  • Knowledge of utilities such as steam, compressed air, refrigeration, water treatment or effluent systems.
  • A positive, flexible approach and the ability to work collaboratively across departments.
  • Flexibility to support business-critical production activities, breakdown response, project work and seasonal demand where required.

What’s in it for you?

  • 25 days annual leave + bank holidays
  • Private medical health care
  • Life assurance
  • 30% off dining and retail discounts

At Brewpoint, you’ll be part of a modern brewery built on five generations of brewing heritage. To help us brew great beer, improve performance and keep our operation running smoothly.
