Maintenance Planner - Brewing

Maintenance Planner

You Keep Every Machine Ready Before It's Needed

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 Planner works hand-in-hand with Brewing and Production leadership to keep every piece of equipment running reliably before problems happen, not after.
