Production & Operations Intern

Location: Bangalore | Type: Full time, on-site internship

Company: Libations Bev LLP

About the Role

We are looking for a highly organised, hands-on Production & Operations Intern to support the end-to-end production of our products at our small-scale production unit. This role has the potential to become permanent full-time position on the successful completion of the 6 month internship.

This is not a desk-based internship. You will work across the entire production chain from sourcing raw materials and maintaining inventory to assisting with batch production, quality documentation, packing, and dispatch. You will gain direct exposure to how a beverage moves from formulation to a finished product ready for the customer.

The role is best suited to someone who is methodical, dependable, comfortable working with their hands, and interested in learning how a young food and beverage brand builds disciplined production systems from the ground up.

Key Responsibilities

Procurement and Raw-Material Coordination

- Identify and coordinate with suppliers for ingredients, packaging materials, consumables, and production requirements.
- Request quotations, samples, specifications, and supporting quality documents from vendors.
- Follow up on purchase orders and delivery timelines.
- Receive incoming materials and verify quantities, condition, batch details, and documentation.
- Maintain an organised database of suppliers, pricing, lead times, and minimum order quantities.

Inventory Management

- Maintain accurate records of raw materials, packaging materials, consumables, work-in-progress, and finished goods.
- Monitor stock levels, expiry dates, and reorder requirements.
- Follow FEFO/FIFO inventory practices, as applicable.
- Conduct periodic physical stock checks and reconcile them against inventory records.
- Ensure all materials are correctly labelled, stored, and traceable.

Production

- Assist with production planning and preparation based on batch requirements.
- Weigh, measure, and prepare ingredients accurately according to approved formulations and batch sheets.
- Support beverage production processes including mixing, filtration, carbonation, filling, sealing, coding, and packing.




- Operate lab-scale production equipment after appropriate training and under supervision.
- Record ingredient quantities, process parameters, batch yields, wastage, and observations.
- Help identify and report production deviations or equipment issues immediately.

Hygiene, Quality and Documentation

- Follow hygiene, sanitation, food-safety, and personal protective equipment protocols.
- Clean and sanitise production equipment, utensils, work surfaces, and the production area before and after use.
- Complete batch manufacturing records, cleaning logs, inventory records, and other production documentation accurately and on time.
- Assist with sample collection, product checks, shelf-life monitoring, and retention-sample management.
- Support traceability of raw materials and finished products through batch and lot records.
- Help ensure that production activities follow internal SOPs and applicable food-safety requirements.

Packing and Dispatch

- Inspect finished products before packing.
- Assist with labelling, secondary packaging, order preparation, and final quantity checks.
- Coordinate with delivery and logistics partners for timely dispatch.
- Prepare and maintain dispatch records, shipping documents, and product movement logs.
- Track shipments and escalate delays, damages, shortages, or delivery discrepancies.

Process Improvement

- Help create and improve checklists, SOPs, trackers, and production workflows.
- Identify opportunities to reduce wastage, prevent errors, and improve production efficiency.
- Support production trials, scale-up exercises, and process-standardisation work as required.

Who We Are Looking For

- Graduate or final-year student in Food Technology, Food Science, Biotechnology, Microbiology, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or a related field.
- Strong numerical ability and confidence with weights,



volumes, unit conversions, and batch-scaling calculations.
- High attention to detail, particularly when measuring ingredients and maintaining records.
- Comfortable working in a hands-on production environment and carrying out cleaning and sanitation activities.
- Able to follow formulations, SOPs, and instructions precisely.
- Organised, reliable, proactive, and willing to take ownership of assigned work.
- Comfortable coordinating with suppliers, logistics partners, and internal team members.
- Working knowledge of Excel or Google Sheets.
- Able to communicate clearly in English; knowledge of Kannada or Hindi would be useful.

Previous experience in food or beverage production, quality control, procurement, inventory, or manufacturing is helpful but not mandatory.

What You Will Learn

- End-to-end beverage production at a growing consumer brand.
- Raw-material sourcing and supplier coordination.
- Production planning and inventory control.
- Batch manufacturing and production documentation.
- Food-safety, sanitation, and traceability practices.
- Packaging, logistics, and order fulfilment.
- The systems required to take a product from lab scale towards commercial production.

Important to Know This is an operational, on-site role that requires precision, consistency, and active participation throughout the production process. Some production days may involve extended periods of standing, repetitive tasks, handling ingredients and packaging materials, and supporting cleaning and sanitation.

The intern will work under supervision and will be expected to follow all approved formulations, SOPs, safety requirements, and escalation procedures. Any changes to formulations, processes, suppliers, or quality standards must be approved by the authorised team member.
