Location: Leven, Scotland

Join our Supply Chain and Manufacturing team.

Our Supply Chain and Manufacturing team are problem-solvers, sourcing, producing, and delivering our much-loved brands to delight customers around the globe. Over half of Diageo's 30,000+ people work in Supply Chain and Manufacturing. It's an intricate and sophisticated operation that's the product of logistical, manufacturing, and technical collaborations.

Our teams in 100 sites in over 30 countries cover production facilities, supplier relationships, customer collaborations and third-party agreements. We're committed to realising our ‘Society 2030: Spirit of Progress' goals, to protect the environment and support our farmers and suppliers. Whatever your skills and experience, we'll help you to thrive in our inclusive culture.

About the Role

As a Cask Handler you will:

• Champion a zero‑harm culture, following all Health & Safety, Environmental, Customs & Excise and site standards.
• Safely move spirit‑filled casks manually or with machinery, covering filling, warehousing, disgorging and empty‑cask handling.
• Meet daily/weekly production targets while protecting product integrity and recording stock movements with our barcode system.
• Tackle problems on the spot-working both independently and as part of a tight‑knit crew-to keep operations running smoothly.
• Contribute to Manufacturing Excellence by attending tier meetings, sharing ideas and driving continuous improvement.
• Embrace our "2030 Spirit of Progress" sustainability goals and be an ambassador for Diageo's values every day.

About You

We're looking for energetic team players who thrive on solving practical problems and delivering first-class results. You'll need strong attention to detail, solid numeracy skills, and the ability to think analytically in a fast-paced environment. Clear and confident communication is key, along with the ability to prioritise tasks and adapt when plans change.

While experience in a production, warehousing, or logistics environment would be an advantage, it's not essential. If you've worked in a structured, hands-on role and know how to stay organised, focused, and calm under pressure, we want to hear from you.

Basic IT skills, such as using Microsoft Office, and an FLT licence are helpful, but not mandatory. If you're familiar with health and safety regulations or HMRC compliance requirements, that's a bonus too.

Manual‑handling experience is welcome but also not mandatory-if you've got the drive to learn, we'll provide the training.

We value diverse backgrounds, so whether you've worked in manufacturing, the armed forces, construction or beyond, we want to hear how your skills can help us craft exceptional Scotch.

Working with us

Our purpose is to celebrate life, every day, everywhere. And creating an inclusive culture, where everyone feels valued and that they can belong, is a crucial part of this.

We embrace diversity in the broadest possible sense. This means that you'll be welcomed and celebrated for who you are just by being you. You'll be part of and help build and champion an inclusive culture that celebrates people of different gender, ethnicity, ability, age, sexual orientation, social class, educational backgrounds, experiences, mindsets, and more.

Our ambition is to create the best performing, most trusted and respected consumer products companies in the world. Join us and help transform our business as we take our brands to the next level and build new ones as part of shaping the next generation of celebrations for consumers around the world.
