If you love the wine world but you’re burned out on the crush season grind and the “every day is urgent” harvest schedule, this might be your kind of role. Get your hands on real cellar work plus advanced services and equipment, keep the quality focus, and build a year-round rhythm that doesn’t require living at the winery seven days a week every fall.

Who we are
Wine and Beer Supply provides in-house and mobile production services for wineries across the East Coast. If you like solving real problems with a good team, you’ll fit in here. We believe customer experience is most important, we see challenges as opportunities to impress, and know staying positive and keeping a sense of humor is the best way to enjoy the ride. We take the work seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. We care about quality, sanitation, and safety, and we like people who can keep things moving and keep the mood positive on long days. The job is about taking top tier equipment and process know how into real world cellars, solving problems fast, and leaving a client better off than when we arrived.

What you will do
This role is a mix of in house production support and mobile field work. You will work alongside our team on advanced services including dealcoholization, crossflow filtration, in-house and mobile bottling, volatile acidity removal, and remediation work for issues like Brett and pyrazine taint. The work is quality focused, process driven, and very physical at times.

Travel and seasonality
Estimated travel is 2 to 3 days per week from January through August. Minimal travel from September through December.

Key responsibilities
•  Execute cellar operations and production work orders accurately and consistently, with strong documentation and communication to our in-house winemaker or client winemaking point of contact.
•  Perform wine movements and standard cellar work including transfers, additions, staging for processing, and maintaining clean, organized work areas.
•  Operate and maintain processing equipment used in-house and in the field, including pumps, hoses, fittings, valves, filtration systems, and bottling related equipment, with a heavy emphasis on sanitation and food safety discipline.
•  Support filtration and finishing operations, including crossflow filtration set up, operation, breakdown, cleaning, and verification.
•  Support bottling line set up, changeovers, sanitation, operation support, and tear down as needed.
•  Assist with specialized service workflows such as dealcoholization, volatile acidity reduction, and taint remediation by following SOPs, collecting required process data, and escalating issues early.
•  Troubleshoot and perform basic equipment maintenance and repairs in the shop and on site, including basic plumbing, basic electrical, and general mechanical problem solving.
•  Represent Wine and Beer Supply on client sites with a calm, professional presence. That means arriving prepared, working safely, communicating clearly, and taking care of the customer’s facility like it’s your own.

Ideal background
•  Some wine cellar experience, harvest or year round
•  Comfortable with common cellar practices and sanitation expectations in a production environment
•  Experience running pumps, working with hoses and fittings, and executing transfers and additions
•  Strong mechanical aptitude with basic plumbing and electrical knowledge and the willingness to learn our equipment stack quickly
•  Clean driving record and comfortable traveling for field work

What success looks like
•  You run clean, repeatable processes and you document what you did
•  You protect wine quality and treat sanitation as non negotiable
•  You can troubleshoot logically under pressure without cutting corners
•  Clients trust you because you communicate clearly and you leave things better than you found them

Physical and schedule requirements
•  Ability to lift up to 50 lb and work on your feet for long periods during busy production days
•  Comfort working in wet environments and around cleaning chemicals, pumps, pressurized lines, and production equipment
•  Flexibility for early starts or longer days when project timelines require it, especially during the January through August travel season

Compensation

This is a full time, year round position. Pay is $22 to $28 per hour depending on experience and your ability to operate, care for, and troubleshoot processing equipment in the field. Overtime is expected during busy stretches and is paid according to applicable wage and hour rules.

Travel is part of the job. Plan on being on the road about two to three days per week from January through August. September through December is typically less travel.

When travel requires overnight stays, lodging is provided. Meals are company paid on client travel days. You will drive a company vehicle for most mobile work, and you will be paid for travel to and from client locations.
