ASAHI BEER USA | OCTOPI BREWING

INDUSTRIAL MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN

When Something Breaks, You're the One Who Fixes It

Full-Time

ABOUT ASAHI BEER USA / OCTOPI BREWING

Founded in 2014 as a Wisconsin contract brewery, Octopi Brewing has spent over a decade brewing and packaging beer, seltzers, RTDs, and sodas for clients nationwide. In 2024, Asahi — brewers of Asahi Super Dry — acquired Octopi, making us the U.S. production home of Super Dry. Today, our 250+ person team of beverage industry pros keeps that same local, quality-first spirit alive at a state-of-the-art facility. Our Maintenance team keeps every piece of equipment across our brewery and packaging lines running — so production never has to stop for long.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Things break. When they do, we need an Industrial Maintenance Technician who can figure out why, fix it fast, and help us prevent it from happening again — across everything from production machinery to the building itself.

WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE GREAT

• Real variety — mechanical, electrical, and hands-on fabrication work, not the same task twice

• Direct impact across the whole operation — brewery, packaging, and building systems all rely on you

• Room to build new skills, from precision testing instruments to sanitary welding and electrical work

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Inspect equipment and operating systems, and take corrective action when something's off

• Plan and execute preventative maintenance on all machines

• Diagnose problems using hoists, cranes, hand and power tools, and precision measuring instruments

• Fabricate repair parts using machine shop equipment

• Maintain clear communication with management, production, and brewery teams on current and future projects

• Participate in after-hours emergency response as needed

WHAT YOU BRING

Must-haves:

• 3–5 years of maintenance and machine experience

• Thorough understanding of maintenance systems

• Able to stand, walk, and kneel for extended periods, lift up to 75 lbs, and push up to 175 lbs at times

• Strong attention to detail and organization, and the ability to function well in a fast-paced environment

Nice-to-haves:

• Low and high voltage electrical experience

• Sanitary welding experience

BENEFITS & PERKS

• Medical, dental, and vision coverage — effective the 1st of the month after 30 days

• Company-paid life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance

• 401(k) eligible after 3 months, with company match — 100% up to 3%, 50% on the next 2%

• 120 hours of PTO annually, with accrual that grows the longer you're here

• 9 paid holidays (if they fall on your scheduled workday)

• A free beer after shift, because you earned it

PAY BY SHIFT

Base rate for this role is $30.00/hr. Shifts outside of 1st shift include an additional shift differential on top of that base — never a lower starting rate, just added pay for the shift.

• 1st Shift — $30.00/hr (base rate)

• 2nd Shift — $30.00/hr base + $3.00/hr shift differential = $33.00/hr

• 3rd Shift — $30.00/hr base + $4.00/hr shift differential = $34.00/hr

• Weekend Day — $30.00/hr base + $5.75/hr shift differential = $35.75/hr

• Weekend Night — $30.00/hr base + $7.75/hr shift differential = $37.75/hr
