The new Johnnie Walker Princes Street will open this year and they have already begun a search for 160 members of staff.
There is a wide range of jobs on offer including ambassadors, retail staff, bartenders, concierge and performance artists.
The 81,000 square feet visitor experience will have two roof top bars, a retail store, a variety of interactive tours and tasting experiences.
The whole purpose is to tell the story of Johnnie Walker from grain to bottle, so they are looking for people who are natural presenters and perhaps have experience as a tour guide. The bar team might be called upon to craft highballs or a neat whisky – but they must have a passion for mixology.
Barbara Smith, General Manager of Johnnie Walker Princes Street, said: “Our new Johnnie Walker brand home is set to be the most exciting visitor experience to hit Edinburgh for some time and will welcome visitors from around the world. We need a team to help us create an unforgettable experience so we are looking for remarkable talent who can provide our guests with a warm Scottish welcome and tell the Johnnie Walker story to the world.
“This year we are celebrating Johnnie Walker’s 200th year and toasting the brand founder John Walker who was constantly pushing boundaries to deliver a top-class product, ahead of its time. We’re looking for a team who epitomise that ethos and can help us deliver an experience he would be proud of. So, if you are passionate about always moving forward then we want to hear from you.”
Johnnie Walker Princes Street says they will offer their staff a strong reward and benefits package, extensive training and development, with a pathway for great career opportunities across Johnnie Walker and parent company Diageo.
As an employer Diageo is committed to paying staff a living wage. Recognising the need for flexibility, employees can also expect a range of shift and working patterns to cater for people at all ages and stages of life.
