This full-time position as an Advanced Canning Technician offers an exciting opportunity to join a growing company that values skill development and hands-on learning. The role focuses on the operation and maintenance of the canning line where the technician will be responsible for setting up and breaking down sophisticated equipment. Additionally, the technician must ensure all Clean-In-Place (CIP) procedures meet Iron Heart's stringent standards for sanitation and safety. The ideal candidate will have a passion for craft beer and brewing, as well as a strong mechanical aptitude and ability to work efficiently in a physically demanding environment. At Iron Heart, employees are encouraged to expand their expertise in the industry through onsite training and continuous guidance, fostering a supportive atmosphere for growth.
