About SABLIÈRE
SABLIÈRE is pioneering alcohol-free exceptional sparkling built from first principles. Our pilot facility is where science, craft, and precision meet - and where a new category inspired by Champagne is being created, without alcohol.
The Role
We’re looking for a part-time Production & Packaging Assistant to support the daily running of our pilot facility. You’ll help uphold production standards, keep the space immaculate, and support bottling, labelling and fulfilment as we prepare orders for some of the UK’s leading hotels and partners.
You’ll learn the practical disciplines behind small-batch, high-specification beverage making - from hygiene systems to how product actually leaves the building.
Key Responsibilities
● Maintain immaculate hygiene and organisation across the lab, production and packaging areas
● Clean, sanitise, and reset equipment before and after production runs
● Support stock management and materials preparation (ingredients, bottles, closures, packaging)
● Assist with bottling, labelling, and quality checks during production days
● Pick, pack and prepare orders for shipment, including assembling boxes and organising courier collections
Who You Are
● Ideally enrolled in Heriot-Watt Brewing & Distilling or a closely related science/engineering/food course, or able to demonstrate a strong interest in drinks production
● Reliable, detail-driven, and comfortable with hands-on, repetitive tasks
● Curious about production excellence, hygiene systems, and process design
● Calm under pressure and collaborative in small teams
● Physically comfortable lifting and moving boxes as part of packaging and fulfilment
Why Join Us
● Rare, first-hand experience inside a deep-tech drinks start-up
● Learn real production discipline (CIP, hygiene, workflow optimisation, fulfilment)
● See how a new product moves from pilot facility to five-star venues
● Flexible schedule designed to fit around your studies
● Paid at the UK Living Wage
Commitment & Details
● Schedule: 2 days per week, 4.75 hours per day (flexible)
● Location: Summerhall, Edinburgh EH9
● Start date: ASAP
