Senior Beverage Carbonation Control Specialist

Job Title: Senior Beverage Carbonation Control Specialist

Location: United Arab Emirates (Remote)

Employment Type: Full-Time

Work Arrangement: 100% Remote — Work From Home

Level: Senior

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Beverage Carbonation Control Specialist to oversee carbonation performance analysis, product quality monitoring, and technical documentation review across beverage production operations. The role focuses on evaluating carbonation levels, dissolved carbon dioxide measurements, pressure and temperature relationships, product consistency, and packaging performance through laboratory data analysis and remote technical coordination.

The successful candidate will collaborate with beverage technologists, production teams, quality assurance professionals, packaging specialists, and accredited laboratories to maintain consistent carbonation characteristics and support product quality improvement.

This is a fully remote technical oversight position. Physical beverage sampling, carbonation testing, production line adjustments, equipment operation, and packaging inspections must be performed by qualified local personnel.

Key Responsibilities

• Review carbonation test results and production quality records for carbonated beverages, including soft drinks, sparkling water, energy drinks, and other carbonated products.
• Analyze dissolved carbon dioxide measurements and assess compliance with approved product specifications.
• Evaluate carbonation consistency across production batches, filling lines, product formats, and storage conditions.
• Review the relationship between beverage temperature, pressure, and dissolved carbon dioxide levels.
• Assess technical data relating to carbonation systems, carbon dioxide dosing, mixing processes, and filling operations.
• Monitor carbonation performance indicators and identify deviations from established product targets.
• Investigate carbonation-related quality issues, including under-carbonation, over-carbonation, excessive foaming, and inconsistent product performance.
• Review laboratory reports, sampling records, and analytical documentation from beverage testing facilities.
• Analyze the impact of formulation changes, ingredient variations, and processing conditions on carbonation retention.
• Evaluate packaging performance data relating to pressure resistance, closure integrity, leakage, and carbon dioxide retention.
• Coordinate remotely with production and maintenance teams to investigate carbonation process deviations.
• Review calibration records and technical documentation for pressure gauges, carbonation meters, dissolved CO₂ analyzers, and related instruments.
• Support root cause investigations into carbonation defects and recurring production inconsistencies.
• Recommend corrective and preventive actions based on analytical findings and documented process evidence.
• Monitor carbonation stability throughout product storage and distribution using available quality data.
• Review shelf-life studies and packaging performance reports relating to carbon dioxide retention.
• Develop carbonation monitoring procedures, technical review checklists, and quality reporting templates.
• Maintain digital records of carbonation results, product specifications, deviations, and corrective actions.
• Prepare periodic reports on carbonation performance, production consistency, and quality improvement opportunities.
• Monitor relevant beverage manufacturing standards, carbonation technologies, and quality control practices.

Qualifications and Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Food Science, Food Technology, Chemical Engineering, Beverage Technology, Chemistry, or a related discipline.
• A postgraduate qualification in Beverage Science, Food Process Engineering, or Quality Management is an advantage.
• Typically 5–8 years of experience in beverage manufacturing, carbonation control, beverage quality assurance, or process optimization.
• Strong understanding of carbon dioxide solubility, gas-liquid equilibrium, carbonation principles, and pressure-temperature relationships.
• Experience reviewing dissolved CO₂ measurements and carbonation performance records.
• Familiarity with beverage production processes, including syrup preparation, blending, carbonation, filling, and packaging.
• Knowledge of carbonation equipment, pressure measurement systems, CO₂ dosing technologies, and relevant instrumentation.
• Understanding of beverage packaging systems, including PET bottles, glass bottles, cans, and closure integrity requirements.
• Experience with quality investigations, root cause analysis, corrective and preventive actions, and production deviation management.
• Familiarity with laboratory testing methods and quality documentation for carbonated beverages.
• Knowledge of HACCP principles, food safety management systems, and relevant beverage quality standards.
• Experience interpreting statistical process control data, production trends, and quality performance indicators.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, data analysis tools, and digital quality management systems.
• Strong analytical, technical writing, and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and coordination abilities when working with production, laboratory, and quality teams.
• Ability to manage multiple technical assignments independently in a fully remote environment.

What We Offer

• A fully remote, work-from-home position based in the UAE.
• Competitive compensation aligned with qualifications and professional experience.
• Opportunities to contribute to beverage quality, carbonation consistency, and process improvement.
• Collaboration with beverage technologists, production engineers, laboratory professionals, and quality assurance teams.
• Professional development in beverage processing, carbonation technology, and manufacturing quality systems.

How to Apply

Interested candidates should submit an updated CV highlighting their experience in beverage carbonation, dissolved CO₂ analysis, beverage manufacturing, and quality assurance.
