At DB Breweries, we don't just brew beer – we craft experiences. We're on the lookout for a passionate, detail-driven
Packaging Technician
to join our crew and help ensure our iconic beer, cider, and RTDs roll off the line in top-notch form.

This is a hands-on role at the heart of our Packaging team – ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and takes pride in keeping things running smoothly, safely, and efficiently.

If you're ready to be part of a team that's passionate about quality and proud of what we produce, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing:

  • Operate, maintain and improve packaging machinery to meet production targets.
  • Ensure products are packaged to the highest quality and safety standards.
  • Play an active role in our
    TPM Continuous Improvement Programme
    , using tools like Lean, 5S and Kaizen to eliminate losses and lift performance.
  • Complete reactive, planned and predictive maintenance tasks (on time, every time).
  • Collaborate with production, maintenance and inventory teams to keep things flowing.
  • Create and follow SOPs, contribute to training, and keep our systems up to date.
  • Be flexible and adaptable – jumping into multiple zones or tech areas as needed.

What you'll bring to the table:

  • A mechanical or electrical trade qualification (NZCE, Advanced Trade Cert, or similar).
  • 3–5 years' experience in packaging or maintenance in brewing, FMCG or food/beverage industries.
  • Solid understanding of CMMS systems and continuous improvement practices.
  • A sharp eye for detail, strong communication skills, and a real team-first attitude.
  • A drive to learn, improve and share knowledge with others.
