About the Function
Supply Chain & Manufacturing is where our brands are made, moved and delivered to the world.
With over half of our people working across more than 100 sites, this is a complex, large-scale operation that brings together production, logistics, engineering and supplier partnerships.
It’s fast-paced and hands-on, with teams working together to ensure quality, efficiency and sustainability at every stage. From sourcing ingredients to getting products into customers’ hands, you’ll play a role in delivering the brands people know and love.
About the Role
Working across traditional and high-racking warehouses, our Maturation Warehouse Operators support all aspects of maturation. This includes the filling, disgorging, dropping and bonding of casks, as well as cask handling and movement. Casks can range from approximately 50kg to 700kg, with approved mechanical handling equipment used as required. Auchroisk and Glenlossie are the core home sites for this role; operators may also be required to work across our off-site locations in line with operational requirements.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
