Why Manchester?
There has never been a more exciting time to join our Manchester Brewery. We're firmly planted in the community thanks to a number of investments in the site over the past few years, totalling more than £70 Million. Our brewery remains a pivotal part of our UK supply chain network, producing around five million hectolitres per year of Foster’s, Kronenbourg 1664 – and, more recently – Heineken®. We’re delighted to have been given the quality seal of approval from our Amsterdam Head Office to brew Heineken on our site – and as a bonus, we’re making our carbon footprint smaller in the process.

A positive and supportive individual, you will lead lean teams and coach our frontline operators and technicians. At the heart of what you’ll deliver is the compliance to all relevant safety and statutory requirements.
