Production & Operations Distiller
Full-Time • Salary • London, Ontario
Paradigm Spirits is a small but mighty distillery known for complex blending, meticulous batching, and world-class flavour across whisky, gin, vodka and RTD cocktail production. We’re looking for a hands-on Production & Operations Distiller to help lead day-to-day production — from distillation to blending to batching and bottling — and ensure a smooth, scalable operation as we grow.
What You’ll Do
- Execute production across distillation, blending, batching, bottling/kegging and packaging
- Support production planning & scheduling, ensuring weekly work runs efficiently and on time
- Maintain inventory accuracy and compliance logs (excise, QA, traceability, etc.)
- Operate equipment safely and confidently (tanks, pumps, stills, centrifuges, filtration, etc.)
- Ensure clean, organized, safe workspaces: setup, teardown, sanitation, preventative maintenance
- Assist with new product development, trials, R&D blends, and process improvements
- Collaborate with all teams (Production, Fulfillment, Compliance, Sales) to keep the operation moving
- As we grow, support and mentor junior production staff — teamwork is everything here
Who You Are
- Hands-on and operational — you’d rather be making than talking about making
- Experienced in distillation and/or alcohol production, ideally with blending & batching exposure
- Naturally curious and deeply passionate about doing a job well, not just doing a job
- Understand that a great distiller is also a great operator, planner, cleaner, and teammate
- Naturally organized, process-minded, and comfortable with spreadsheets/compliance systems
- Comfortable working independently, but believes nothing great is made alone
- Smart Serve + Forklift licence (required)
Why Paradigm
- Join an ambitious distillery on the cutting edge of Canadian spirits & cocktails
- Work closely with senior leadership, with visibility across the full business
- Be part of a small team that punches far above our weight — and is building something big, together
