Ouvrier au houblonnage
Personne qui fait fonctionner les chaudières pour faire bouillir le houblon (plante utilisée pour la fabrication de la bière) et les extracteurs pour retirer le houblon. Elle veille à maintenir la température et la pression à un niveau constant et s'assure de l'entretien des chaudières et des extracteurs. Elle veille à respecter les conditions d'hygiène et les normes de fabrication et à bien surveiller les différents indicateurs afin de produire une bière de qualité.
http://dico.monemploi.com/O/1450Ouvrierauhoublonnage.html

Quite apart from the fact that even if it IS the person who adds the hops to a process controlled by the/another "ouvrier au houblonnage", I suspect "brewer" (though not necessarily "master brewer", who would sit in a chair and give instructions!) would be the more appropriate title.

FWIW, a few more gleanings:
Turning those ingredients into a carbonated, alcoholic beverage is a three-step process. First, the brewer pours hot water over the malted grain to produce a sugar- and protein-laden soup called wort. He or she then adds hops for flavor and boils the mixture for several hours
http://news-service.stanford.edu/news/2001/november7/beer-11...

Delaware's Dogfish Head has pioneered a pair of hop-enhancing technologies, including a "continuous hopping machine" that adds hops gradually over up to two hours of brewing instead of throwing some in at the beginning, middle and end, as is customary
http://www.bonitanews.com/news/2006/aug/30/toast_new_crop_br...

the brewer adds hops at the boiling stage, much like a cook might add a ... For the same reason, never store German beer glasses in the freezer. ...
