ABOUT GOOD ROBOT
We’re a fast-growing beverage manufacturer, wholesaler, and hospitality business based in Nova Scotia. We produce and package our own brands, partner with others through contract manufacturing, and operate vibrant hospitality spaces.
Our mission is simple: To Spread Camaraderie Through Beverage.
Camaraderie isn’t just what happens in our Taprooms; it’s how we work. It’s the way we support each other on the floor, show up for our industry, communicate across departments, and take ownership of the quality that leaves our Beverage Factory.

- Professionalism – We show up ready and represent the brand well
- Problem-Solving – We meet obstacles head-on and move forward

- Operate related equipment (depalitizer, filler, pasteurizer, fill-level detector, sleever, date coders, cartoner)
- Accurately complete packaging logs and quality documentation
- Support overall packaging operations.
- Communicate with QA/QC techs and the rest of the packaging team
- Conduct regular maintenances on filler and packaging line

- Experience running production or packaging equipment
- Forklift/material handling experience
- Warehouse or manufacturing environment experience
- Ability to move 25-30 lbs repeatedly
- Comfortable working in a loud, fast-paced environment
- Strong attention to detail

Assets (nice to have):
Forklift certification, WHMIS, Beverage production experience.
WHAT YOU GET

- A chance to grow with a company that's always evolving - where ideas, problem-solving, and drive to improve inefficiencies are encouraged
THE ENVIRONMENT
This is a physical, active manufacturing role. You’ll be moving and working around mechanical equipment, noise, wet floors, and cleaning chemicals.
Safety and sanitation are non-negotiable.
DIVERSITY
Our goal is to be a diverse workforce that is representative of the communities we serve. We welcome applications from Indigenous People, African Nova Scotians and Other Racially Visible Persons, and Women/Trans folk in occupations or positions where they are under-represented. If you are a member of one of the equity groups, you are encouraged to self-identify on your electronic application IF you are comfortable doing so.
