With their venue expansion finished (and looking bloody fantastic), the focus at Bright Brewery is now on expanding their production.
As such, they're after a second brewer.

The position is full time and a competitive remuneration package will be offered to the right candidate, commensurate with their level of knowledge and experience.
In our rapidly growing company there will regularly be opportunities for career advancement to candidates who show dedication to their craft and a willingness to learn.
Bright Brewery is an equal opportunity employer and this position offers a chance to live in a truly beautiful place with world class mountain biking, cycling, hiking, camping, paragliding, snow and river sports. We encourage broad and active lifestyles, and flexible working arrangements may be negotiated to accommodate this.
