About the role

The Blending Technician supports the execution of batching, blending, and sanitation operations for our liquid production. You will work under the direction of the Lead Process Engineer to precisely weigh ingredients, follow batch records, execute CIP procedures, and maintain accurate documentation across production runs.

This is a hands-on, physically demanding role. The work is detailed and repetitive, and that’s the point; consistency is how we deliver quality at scale. You will be expected to follow SOPs exactly, ask questions when something doesn’t look right, and take pride in the precision of your work.

What You’ll Do

  • Precisely weigh and measure ingredients according to customer specifications.
  • Add ingredients to blending tanks following prescribed sequences, timing, and procedures.
  • Monitor batch parameters for deviation from specification.
  • Maintain complete and accurate batch records and process documentation.
  • Assist with tank transfers, product movement, and equipment setup between runs.
  • Pull in-process samples as directed and deliver to QC lab for testing.
  • Learn to run basic QC tests (Brix, pH, turbidity).
  • Execute CIP/COP procedures on tanks, blending vessels, transfer lines, and related equipment following established SOPs.
  • Prepare cleaning and sanitation chemical solutions at correct concentrations.
  • Maintain sanitation logs and ensure all procedures meet HACCP, GMP, and FDA requirements.
  • Keep blending areas, equipment, and workspaces clean and organized at all times.

Required

  • High school diploma, GED, or equivalent.
  • Strong attention to detail and comfort with precise, repetitive measurement tasks.
  • Ability to follow written SOPs and batch records exactly as documented. You follow directions carefully and ask questions when something doesn’t make sense.
  • Physically able to perform demanding production work: lifting 50+ lbs, standing for extended periods, working in variable temperature environments.
  • Reliable, punctual, and willing to learn and improve.

Any of the following are a plus

  • Experience in any production, manufacturing, or hands-on mechanical environment.
  • Trade school, vocational training, or military technical training.
  • Familiarity with CIP/SIP, chemical handling, or food-safe sanitation practices.
  • Craft brewing, distilling, or winemaking experience at any level.
  • Mechanical aptitude and comfort working with pumps, valves, hoses, and tanks.

Fine print

This position works in and around an active production facility: moving machinery, forklift traffic, glass, and ethanol vapors, with noise and temperature variation. It requires standing, walking, kneeling, climbing ladders, and working in tight or awkward positions for extended periods, and occasionally lifting up to 50 pounds. This is a safety-sensitive position: lockout/tagout procedures apply, and PPE is required in designated areas. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
