About the Role
As an Integrated Quality Analyst at the St. James's Gate Brewery, you will play a key role in safeguarding product quality and supporting brewing performance across one of Diageo's most complex and iconic manufacturing sites.
This is a multi-discipline laboratory role, providing hands-on analytical and microbiological support across the Main Analytical Laboratory, Microbiology, Beer Blending Agents (BBA) laboratories and Guinness Zero analysis. By maintaining capability across multiple laboratory areas, the role supports resilience, continuity and planned cover across the site.
You will generate accurate, reliable and timely quality data across all stages of brewing and BBA processes, enabling the release of in-specification product to domestic and global markets including Ireland, Great Britain, the USA and beyond.
