Supply Management Traineeship (SMT)

What is it?

Our Supply Management Traineeship (SMT) is all about brewing, packaging and delivery. The focus is on improving process and efficiencies in our breweries and our logistics/supply chain – all to help us stay ahead of the pack. It's where you can make a big difference to our impact on the environment and focus on innovation. 

What does it include?

Experience life on the front-line of a brewery, working with our operators over 6-7 months to make the great beers we're famous for. But you won't just be observing. You'll make a direct impact – addressing real challenges, creating innovative solutions and helping to grow our business. Impress us and you'll soon be leading a team of your own. 

You’ll also be able to build your leadership, project and general management skills. You’ll learn the technical and practical challenges of our business, but also have the opportunity to improve or solve them. This is a path that could take you all around Europe, or even the world. 

Who is it for?

If you love being front and centre of all the action, the SMT has your name all over it. You’ll get a kick from working fast and you’ll love working within a team. You’ll be results-driven, a true leader of the pack. 

To be eligible for the SMT, you’ll have undertaken some form of a leadership position in the past and you’ll need to have graduated before August 2021 with a Bachelor, Masters (or equivalent) degree in either: 

• Engineering (Chemical, Mechanical, Production or Electrical)
• Science (Bio-chemistry, Micro-biology or Brewing/Food science)
• Other relevant degree (Supply Chain, Logistics, Business etc.)

You’ll need to be fluent in English and the native language of whichever country you want to work in. You can put your skills to the test in the SMT in: 

• BeNeLux 
• Canary Islands, Spain
• Germany
• United Kingdom 

When vacancies are open, you can apply via this website.
