About the role

As a Quality Assurance Technician on your student placement, you will play a pivotal role in our dedicated team at Baileys.

You'll receive training on process, bottling and warehouse operations ensuring that all manufactured goods are produced according to quality specifications and aligned with government regulations from materials to final products across cream blend process bottling and packaging.

You'll be responsible for completing, monitoring and interpreting all analytical, chemical & microbiological (including sending samples to external lab) tests.

In addition, you'll ensure all plant quality assurance equipment is calibrated and maintained and that all routine quality checks are carried out in the appropriate manner to the required frequencies.

This is a chance to be involved in a bold and immersive opportunity where our aim is to take your current skills and grow them further.

This role requires working on a shift schedule, with the pattern determined by the needs of the business.

About you

We are seeking candidates who are pursuing or have completed a third level degree/qualification in a food-related science or an equivalent field.

A high level of IT skills is beneficial for the role but not essential.

The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong problem-solving abilities and the capacity to successfully use initiative in high-pressure situations.

Working with Us

Our purpose is to celebrate life, every day, everywhere. And creating an inclusive culture, where everyone feels valued and listened to, is a crucial part of this. We believe the most inclusive and diverse culture makes for a better business and a better world. We know that for our business to thrive and for Diageo to realise its ambition, we depend on having diverse talent with a range of backgrounds, skills and capabilities in each of the countries in which we operate and to reflect our broad consumer base.

Join us, and you'll be part of an organisation that embraces 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 - an inclusive culture that celebrates people of different gender, ethnicity, ability, age, sexual orientation, social class, educational backgrounds, experiences, mindsets, and more. And you'll help us champion inclusion and diversity across our entire business: with our employees, our suppliers, across our brands, and within the communities in which we operate.

We value each other and celebrate different perspectives. In our inclusive culture, you'll have the backing you need to test new ideas and learn from them. Harness your passion and desire to grow as you make your mark. Let's unlock a brighter, more exciting future together.

Our ambition is to create the best performing, most trusted and respected consumer products companies in the world. To achieve this, we need the world's very best people. We're looking for people with curiosity, creativity, boldness and a sense of purpose to take Diageo and our timeless, pioneering brands to the next level.
