POSITION OVERVIEW

Funky Buddha Brewery is seeking a skilled, hands-on leader to oversee all mechanical and facility maintenance across our brewery. This hybrid role combines technical expertise in brewery equipment—particularly canning and bottling line systems—with ownership of building and grounds maintenance. The ideal candidate brings strong mechanical aptitude, experience in a brewery or beverage production environment, and the ability to balance daily technical work with proactive facility management. This is a first-shift, salaried position that requires flexibility and occasional on-call availability to address urgent equipment issues during second-shift production operations.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Mechanical & Equipment Maintenance

• Lead preventive, predictive, and corrective maintenance efforts on all production / packaging equipment, including, but not limited to, canning line equipment (filler / seamer, cartoner, tray former, de-palletizer), brewing / cellar equipment (pumps, motors, pneumatic and hydraulic valves, compressed gas system, boiler) to minimize downtime.
• Develop and manage preventive maintenance schedules to support uninterrupted production and packaging goals.
• Maintain detailed records of maintenance activities, parts inventory, and vendor interactions.
• Support and train production staff in basic troubleshooting and safe operation practices.
