The Opportunity - Distillery / Distilleries Area Leader (Multi-Site Distillery Manager)
To develop and execute a distillation strategy (in conjunction with Site Director and Group Distilleries Director), including long term capital & capacity planning, which is aligned to the business strategy and focused on corporate sustainability objectives.
To manage the Dufftown distilleries (3 on site - Glenfiddich, Balvenie and Kininvie) at a strategic level, in an efficient and effective manner to maintain product quality, ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, and promote a culture of continuous improvement.
Lead the distillery operational area to the defined standards, implementing and adhering to WGW processes and guidelines, including the management of non-conformances.
Within the functional area as appropriate, work with the team on-site to manage the efficient and cost-effective functioning of the distilling area, producing the right amount of spirit, on time, to the required quality standards, whilst maximising productivity and minimising the environmental impact.
Manage the efficient and cost-effective functioning of the spirit area, controlling spirit receipt, efficiently managing filling / emptying operations, performing spirit blending and compounding to specifications and with minimal losses, ensuring timely spirit tanker dispatch, and managing spirit customer orders to full satisfaction.
Monitor and assess productivity performance and financial costs, supporting the development of continuous improvement plans and initiatives that drive efficiencies across distilleries to increase competitiveness, customer service and quality.
Oversee and review departmental energy/utility usage, minimise all wastage and continuously improve environmental performance.
Manage quality control across the department to ensure full compliance to quality specifications, identifying corrective and preventative actions and following through to timely completion.
Manage and deliver adherence to all relevant compliance processes, including Environmental Regulatory compliance, and identify and drive improvements.
Develop and deliver Distillery Environmental Sustainability Strategy in key areas of Carbon Emissions, Water use and Moving to a circular economy.
Represent the company on key external boards and associated groups, maintaining appropriate and active networking contact with the industry such as the Scotch Whisky Association Groups.
Whilst William Grant operate within a successful and flexible hybrid working environment, the successful candidate will need to be based in, or relocate to, the Speyside area or a commutable distance. Relocation assistance and incentive will be offered.
The successful candidate will be an experienced distillery manager, engineering or maintenance leader or wider operational leader / general manager from within a complex production environment (distilling, brewing, refining etc).
