Who we are:
At the Manchester brewery we brew and package around 4.5 million hectolitres of beer every year. Whether it is leading people or running and repairing equipment, we need people with a varied skills set on site to uphold our Quality and Safety standards whilst we manufacture our fantastic brands.
Our brewery remains a pivotal part of our UK supply chain network, producing around five million hectolitres per year of Foster’s, Birra Moretti, Red Stripe, Kronenbourg 1664 and Heineken®. We’re delighted to have been given the quality seal of approval from our Amsterdam Head Office to brew Heineken on our site – and as a bonus, we’re making our carbon footprint smaller in the process.
We are thrilled to be able to offer the opportunity for 3 internships over the Summer break from University. These are aimed at students currently enrolled at University who wish to build vital skills and experiences that will help build a foundation for their future careers, but can offer a contribution to our business too. Ideally, we are looking for 1 student with a mechanical engineering bias, and 2 with an interest in Manufacturing Data and Analytics, and Continuous Improvement processes.

Ideally, the tasks that you’ll be working on will add value and compliment your studies. We’ll also give you access to training that allows you to complete your duties safely and to a good standard.
The possibilities don’t have to end at the end of your internship with us! We offer a brilliant Supply Chain Graduate scheme that may be of interest to you after your studies!
