Carlton & United Breweries

My role was to develop and implement program's to enhance capability that enabled the delivery of the commercial strategy. 

Role focused on designing, building, deploying and embedding blended learning programs to increase core competencies. (2 Capability Managers) 

Strong alignment to the Learning and Development as well as Sales and Marketing teams    

Required constant Stakeholder Management, biggest challenge was transforming learning from face to face to blended learning opportunities under the guidance of 70/20/10 principles

We had a leadership team that was fully committed to people development and fully supported the leader led learning principle, this provided a platform for developing individuals skill sets and also embedding behavioural change 

Strong focus on coaching to embed leanings       

Deploying programs across a national platform was the most rewarding part of the role. Great opportunity to use my sales experience and to work with people at all levels of the organisation. Seeing people take the leanings back into the real world was also very rewarding. 

In summary, CUB has a great people development culture, built on leader led and coaching principles, strong leadership that fully supports and drives capability that enables change, transformation and growth. (both individual and organisation)      

Challenging but very rewarding.

•	Typical day would be collating the night shift information ready for the morning meets
•	Learning is always an ongoing process, tolerance and leadership is one of my learning curves  
•	Management have got empathy towards the staff and will help out where possible 
•	Co-workers know is what to be expected and will support
•	Hardest part of the job is to make shop floor employees understand that work ethics count on the job and that you can’t get what you want at a blink of an eye 
•	When all your planning comes together and everyone benefits from the outcome

worked for Asahi/CUB for 6 years through covid I received the jab to keep working and never had a problem until Abbotsford. I passed the initial testing etc did my seasonal contract without any problems met a good bunch of guys being the only female they were really respectful then when reapplying and jumping through all their hoops they start me for 1 week cancel my contract without any explanation only that I didn’t pass their medical. I was fit and healthy drug and alcohol free and to be let go without any reason or not allowing me to access my medical records was just unbelievable. 

Awesome pay-rates, terrible shifts as it is On-Call Casual through Labor hire ONLY, only way to progress or advance your position in this company is to (on the manufacturing floor) be related/or dating a managers daughter/son... 

no lifestyle outside due to the fact your ON-CALL 24/7

many a time i'd try to spend the day with my 5 kids and or partner, and BAM..   you need to start as soon as you can get here..

BUT..  the money is really good...

Carlton & United Breweries (CUB) is one of the most iconic beer companies in Australia with our history dating back to 1824. 

We brew some of Australia’s most famous beers, including Victoria Bitter, Carlton Draught, Cascade, Crown Lager, Melbourne Bitter, Pure Blonde, Foster’s, Matilda Bay, as well as ciders including Strongbow, Mercury, and Bulmers.

CUB originally formed in 1907 as Carlton & United Breweries, the name we still hold today. In 2011, we became part of the SABMiller group, the second largest brewer in the world, returning to our heritage and core strength as a brewer.

Challenging, fun, diverse customer experiences and positive work culture. Can understand why it’s hard to get a role at CUB, and why people don’t leave, really great place to work. You’re well looked after with perks. Salaries need improvement to reflect current economic climate, but still okay-ish. Most difficult part is the big corporate machine elongated and arduous processes that can feel like you’re getting absolutely nowhere. Unfortunately though, every big corporate is the same these days. 

A very interesting almost 3 years. One of the beverage industry's leading players, CUB (now a part of the ABInbev Group) is famous for brands such as VB, Carlton Dry, Carlton Draught, Crown Lager and Strongbow to name a few. In my time there, I saw the acquisition of CUB by ABInbev and participated in many of the integration projects and infrastructure enhancements. Saw many changes and learned a lot about the beverage industry through one of its leading players.
