About the Role

As an Integrated Quality Analyst at the St. James’s Gate Brewery, you will play a key role in safeguarding product quality and supporting brewing performance across one of Diageo’s most complex and iconic manufacturing sites.

This is a multi‑discipline laboratory role, providing hands‑on analytical and microbiological support across the Main Analytical Laboratory, Microbiology, Beer Blending Agents (BBA) laboratories and Guinness Zero analysis. By maintaining capability across multiple laboratory areas, the role supports resilience, continuity and planned cover across the site.

You will generate accurate, reliable and timely quality data across all stages of brewing and BBA processes, enabling the release of in‑specification product to domestic and global markets including Ireland, Great Britain, the USA and beyond.

Working closely with Production and Quality teams, you will interpret results, identify trends, highlight and call out out‑of‑specification findings, and support root cause investigations to prevent recurrence and drive continuous improvement.

The role also involves day‑to‑day operation, basic troubleshooting and asset care of key laboratory equipment including GC, HPLC, Alcolyser, flame photometers and auto‑titrators, alongside microbiology activities such as sampling, plate reading, filtering, forcing and environmental swabbing.

In addition, you will contribute to Manufacturing Excellence and laboratory improvement initiatives, applying tools such as SPC, 5S and structured problem‑solving to improve capability, optimise resource utilisation, support site KPIs and ensure ongoing compliance with food safety and quality standards

About You

You will hold a degree in a relevant scientific subject area and bring experience of analytical and/or microbiological laboratory testing, ideally within a brewing, beverage or food manufacturing environment.

You are methodical, well organised and detail‑focused, with the ability to prioritise effectively in a fast‑paced, operational laboratory setting. Comfortable working across multiple laboratory areas, you demonstrate flexibility and a willingness to build and maintain technical competence through structured training and regular task execution.

You are confident interpreting data and using statistical tools such as SPC, with strong problem‑solving skills and the ability to support investigations in collaboration with Production and Quality teams.

You communicate clearly, build positive working relationships, and role‑model good laboratory practice, safety and continuous improvement. You take ownership of your performance, show initiative in improving ways of working, and consistently role‑model the Diageo Values while supporting learning, change initiatives and personal development.
