What we achieve here in the Pajottenland is unique in the world. You can take that literally because nowhere else does the required spontaneous fermentation occur for our Lambic beer (the basis of all Mort-Subite beers). A neat trick of Mother Nature. The fact that I get to work with one of nature’s wonders in my own region is a gift that has kept on giving for over 30 years.
I am incredibly proud of our beers, but even more so of our people. They are undoubtedly our secret ingredient.
Take the inverse of boring, and you end up with Alken-Maes. Good times brewing is our slogan for a reason. We thrive on drive and passion because our beers and ciders deserve the best care. We work as a team to bring people together, but we also like to blow off steam with colleagues after working hours. With us, you get freedom. A lot of freedom. It’s up to you to make the most of it. We do not like stringent job descriptions and rigid structures, but we do like going all-out for the perfect serve.
Even though every recruitment process is unique, it typically follows these steps:
1. You register on our job site and submit your application for a position that suits you.
2. Our recruiters review your CV. If there is a match, an initial (online) interview follows.
3. Good vibe? Then we present your application to your future manager.
4. If they also see your potential, they invite you for a second interview.
5. If this interview was positive, a third meeting will take place. This time, in the presence of an additional stakeholder or manager. If you are applying for a position within marketing or sales, you will also be given a business case during the interview where we would like to hear your ideas.
6. Did everything go smoothly? Then a contract offer might follow!
You can find us all over Belgium, not just in pubs or football stadiums, by the way. Our malt house is located in Puurs, our headquarters in Mechelen, and our breweries are in Alken, Aubel and Asse-Kobbegem. Our colleagues on the road visit every corner of Belgium and come into contact with numerous exciting hospitality and retail entrepreneurs. Do you like the comfort of your own home? Working from home for a few days is absolutely fine.
