City of Port Adelaide Enfield, Australia Pirate Life Brewing Full time

Pirate Life Brewing was founded in 2014 on a five-day journey across the Nullarbor Plain. We landed in Adelaide, established a brewery, and spent the next ten years building a brand. In that time, we've gone from three founders to a crew of over one hundred, built four venues and three breweries across Australia, and cemented ourselves as one of the country's most recognizable brands.

Why Work With Us?

As a business, we're passionate about crafting human connections. We create spaces, experiences, and beverages around which people from all walks of life can connect, because at the end of the day, connection is what we all crave the most. Our vision is to become a national lifestyle brand with a cult following, connecting people through unique moments and experiences.

To achieve this, we need Pirate Life to be the best place to work in the industry. We want our business filled with the best and most committed people. At Pirate Life we've always done things differently, so we understand that an unconventional approach to hiring, retaining, and growing brilliant people is essential to building a strong culture and performance.

  • A company that truly values its people with a vibrant and engaging culture.
  • A workplace that offers health and wellbeing initiatives.
  • A competitive salary reflective of experience & skill.
  • Access to PL clothing and merchandise, and discounts for friends and family.
  • Access to training and development programs through our parent company, Asahi.

What You'll Do
