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 Warehouse team keeps raw materials, packaging, and finished product moving accurately between our facilities, co-packing partners, and distribution.
THE OPPORTUNITY
We're looking for Warehouse Associates to help keep materials and finished product moving safely and accurately — receiving, storing, picking, staging, and shipping product so the rest of our operation never has to slow down. We're hiring at two nearby locations — Windsor and our Uniek DC in Waunakee — just 7 minutes apart.
WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE GREAT
- Hands-on, active work — you're moving, not sitting still
- Directly support production and distribution, so your work has a visible daily impact
- Room to build real warehouse and logistics skills, including equipment operation and inventory systems
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Safely receive, move, store, pick, stage, load, and ship raw materials, packaging materials, and finished goods
- Support accurate shipping and receiving — verifying product quantities, conditions, and documentation
- Help maintain inventory accuracy, following FIFO/FEFO practices and proper product placement
- Keep the warehouse safe, clean, and organized, using required PPE and following safety procedures
- Communicate issues, discrepancies, or safety concerns to your supervisor
WHAT YOU BRING
Must-haves:
- High school diploma or equivalent
- Able to lift, move, carry, push, and pull up to 50 lbs regularly and up to 160 lbs occasionally
- Comfortable twisting, turning, crouching, stooping, and squatting repeatedly throughout the workday
- Committed to workplace safety and following all safety policies and procedures
Nice-to-haves:
- Previous warehouse, distribution, logistics, or manufacturing experience
- Experience in the beverage, food, CPG, or distribution industry
- Experience operating warehouse equipment and RF scanning systems
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office, Excel, and warehouse/ERP systems
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
CURRENTLY HIRING FOR
- 1st Shift — Windsor Warehouse — Monday-Friday, 7:00am-3:00pm
- 2nd Shift — Uniek DC (Waunakee) — Monday-Friday, 2:00pm-10:00pm
- 3rd Shift — Uniek DC (Waunakee) — Sunday-Thursday, 9:00pm-5:00am
During the application process, you'll be asked which location and shift you're interested in.
PAY BY SHIFT
Base rate for this role is $20.00/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 — $21.00/hr (base rate)
- 2nd Shift — $21.00/hr base + $3.00/hr shift differential = $24.00/hr
- 3rd Shift — $21.00/hr base + $4.00/hr shift differential = $25.00/hr
- Weekend Day — $21.00/hr base + $5.75/hr shift differential = $26.75/hr
- Weekend Night — $21.00/hr base + $7.75/hr shift differential = $28.75/hr
