    Should you be invited to interview, we kindly ask that you confirm your preferred shift.

    Join the Future of Malts Production at Diageo on L36

    L36 is currently undergoing a major capital investment programme to become a fully automated malts line capable of producing up to 200 bottles per minute.

    Following the success of Phase 1 of the programme—completed in H2 FY25 and already delivering fantastic results on our Diageo scorecard—we are now full speed ahead into Phase 2: Our next set of automated machinery, including auto-cartoning and auto-packing systems has just recently been installed.

    This investment will:

    • Significantly improve site efficiency
    • Reduce repetitive manual handling
    • Minimise the environmental impact of case assembly deliveries

    About the Role

    As an Equipment Owner, you will be part of a high-performing packaging team working across manual and automated processes to deliver world-class performance on L36.

    You will play a key role in:

    • Operating, monitoring, and supporting automated machinery
    • Carrying out changeovers, basic maintenance, and quality assurance checks
    • Maintaining exceptional health and safety and manufacturing excellence standards
    • Recording data using business systems to support performance and compliance
    • Collaborating with colleagues across shifts to ensure consistent production results
    • Taking ownership of line KPIs and driving continuous improvement
    • Supporting problem-solving activities and implementing corrective actions

    You will be encouraged to build capability across more than one machine to support a flow-to-work approach. A flexible mindset is essential, as you may be required to provide cover during holidays or periods of absence.

    About You

    We’re looking for individuals who:

    • Thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic production environment
    • Enjoy learning, developing new skills, and working with cutting-edge automation technology
    • Take pride in delivering quality, performance, and operational excellence
    • Work collaboratively as part of a high-performing team
    • Are proactive, adaptable, and confident challenging poor practices
    • Have strong communication and problem-solving skills
    • Are committed to continuous improvement

    If you are ready to help shape the future of malts production and join an ambitious, forward-thinking team, we would love to hear from you.
