Perth, Perth and Kinross, United Kingdom Nine Twenty Engineering & Manufacturing Full time

Nine Twenty Engineering & Manufacturing is proud to partner with Tullibardine Distillery, a renowned single malt Scotch whisky producer. As an independent and family-owned distillery, they take pride in their craftsmanship, tradition, and innovative approach to whisky-making.

The current Distillery Manager at Tullibardine Distillery is set to retire, offering a rare opportunity. The new manager will lead a team of 8 distillery operators, a warehouse team, and manage the distillery, warehouse, and tank farm site operations, including key projects like still replacements.

This role is ideal for someone from a distilling background, perhaps from a larger company, looking to take ownership of a more autonomous operation. With a focus on efficiency improvements and carbon capture initiatives, the ideal candidate will have a strong technical acumen and a performance-driven mindset.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Ensure compliance to Health and Safety and Customs and Excise procedures
  • Oversee all Tullibardine distilling, warehouse, and tank farm operations, ensuring they are completed efficiently and safely
  • Develop and implement operational processes to ensure quality products and services
  • Develop and maintain standards for distilling operations
  • Maintain strong communication and problem-solving skills
  • Monitor and maintain all machinery and equipment related to distilling operations
  • Monitor and ordering of raw materials and fuel to support distilling operations
  • Provide coaching, training, and support to team members
  • Coordinate with other departments to ensure timely and accurate delivery of products
  • Ensure all cask filling, disgorging, and despatching is in line with production and customer requirements
  • Additional expertise may be required for our distillery in Ireland (Connacht Distillery)
  • Use of production recording and stock reporting systems

Requirements:

  • Previous experience in a similar role within a whisky/distilling environment
  • Qualification in Brewing and Distilling, or similar
  • Strong experience and understanding of operational processes and ability to interpret technical documents
  • Previous experience of working with different types of machinery and equipment
  • A full clean UK driving licence is a requirement

We offer a competitive salary of £80,000 - £100,000 per annum, depending on experience, and opportunities for career growth and development in a dynamic industry.
