Malt Operations – Pipeline and Talent Pool Opportunities
Brora / Clynelish
We are delighted to invite you to apply for our future opportunities within our Malt Operations! We are looking to find strong, diverse talent to pipeline for potential future roles across our Scotch Malt footprint within Speyside and Northern Scotland. Roles within this exciting business area can vary from Day to Senior/Shift Operators based in our Distilleries, Maltings, and Bio-Plants. Each of these roles comes with the exciting opportunity to be part of something phenomenal and build a career you can truly be proud of.
Salaries range from £31,947 (Day Operator) to £58,997 (Senior/Shift Operator incorporating Shift Allowance) and includes a competitive benefits package including pension, shares scheme and bonus!
Our Production Operational sites have varied processes within Diageo. In our Maltings we process over 120,000 tonnes of Barley per year to make Malted Barley. This product is Distilled across 29 different sites across Scotland, either making spirit to blend into our big brands like Johnnie Walker or our Single Malt branded sites. Many of our Scotch Malt sites are located within the Speyside area but spread as far north as Brora! Our Malt new make spirit is then filled into casks and Warehoused where we have teams to prepare these casks to ensure they are ready to hold Distilled Spirit for the duration of our maturation period which is a minimum of 3 years to be classed as Scotch. Lastly, we have Effluent treatment sites (Bio Plants) that treat our waste for either Energy recovery or to meet Environmental consents.
