150 jobs are now up for grabs as the Johnnie Walker Experience launches their latest recruitment campaign.
The new visitor experience is set to open on Princes Street in summer 2021, and is now looking for a host of "talented individuals" to join the team.
According to Johnnie Walker there are a huge array of jobs on offer, from bartender roles and 'experience ambassadors', to front of house and retail positions.
The new £185million project is set to see the old House of Fraser building completely transformed into a the new whisky experience, and will even feature a stunning rooftop bar.
Experience ambassadors will guide guests through the building, engaging them in the story of Johnnie Walker, Scotch whisky and Scotland. Applicants should be natural story-tellers and ideally have previous experience as a tour guide or similar role.
Retail staff will work in the retail store, a fabulous shopping destination in its own right. Applicants should have some retail experience and be a strong communicator with great customer service skills.
The two rooftop bars will be “must-visit” destinations for the combination of stunning views and perfect drinks, with bar staff at the cutting edge of whisky and cocktail creation. Previous bar experience is preferred but above all a passion for mixology and Scotch is essential.
According to the project, all training will be provided and is set to begin in the spring of 2021.
Barbara Smith, Managing Director of Scotland Brand Homes said: “Johnnie Walker Princes Street will be the most exciting new visitor experience to open in Edinburgh for decades and we want to recruit the best talent to join our team.
“Johnnie Walker is a whisky of exceptional character and we are looking for real characters to tell our story and to create an unforgettable experience for every person who walks through our doors.
“We know it is a difficult time for everyone across the hospitality and tourism industry with many people losing their jobs, which is why we are pleased to be able to restart the recruitment process and to create new high value jobs in the Edinburgh economy.”
People who have applied previously for roles at Johnnie Walker Princes Street do not have to re-apply. All applicants will be considered ahead of the next stage in the recruitment process.
