Production Line Maintenance Technician

Keep Curaçao’s favorite drinks flowing.

Coca-Cola Curaçao (Curaçao Beverage Bottling Company, CBBC) has been part of island life since 1938. It started as a supplier of clean drinking water. Today it produces and bottles brands like Coca-Cola, Sprite, Fanta, Fria, Dasani, Fuze Tea, Minute Maid, and Powerade for Curaçao and Bonaire.

Behind every bottle is a modern automated production line. We’re looking for the technician who keeps it running.

The role

You’ll join the Maintenance section of Operations and report to the Maintenance Supervisor.

This is a specialist role focused on the automated production lines. When a line stops, you find out why, fix it safely, and make sure the fault doesn’t come back.

You’ll work independently and alongside Production, Engineering, the other Maintenance Technicians, and equipment suppliers.

What you’ll do

• Fix breakdowns fast and properly. Diagnose complex, recurring, and intermittent faults (mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and control-related) using PLC/HMI diagnostics, alarms, technical drawings, and manuals.

• Prevent the next one. Carry out planned preventive and corrective maintenance: inspect, adjust, lubricate, calibrate, and replace components.

• Find the root cause. Take part in TPM, root-cause analysis, and reliability improvement projects, and propose ways to make the lines more stable and efficient.

• Support new equipment. Help with installation, testing, and commissioning of automated machinery.

• Work safely and by the book. Follow quality, food safety, safety, and environmental standards, and report risks and deviations.

• Keep the records straight. Log maintenance work, breakdowns, and materials in the integrated management system and support audits.

• Coordinate. Plan maintenance windows and machine release with production, and back up fellow technicians during complex breakdowns.

What you bring

• Technical education in Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or a related technical field

• 3+ years of industrial maintenance experience, ideally on automated production lines

• Hands-on experience with PLC-controlled equipment and PLC/HMI diagnostics

• Strong knowledge of mechanical, electrical, electromechanical, and pneumatic systems

• Experience in a regulated environment, preferably food and beverage

• A structured, safety-first approach that holds up under production pressure

• Good English; Papiamentu and/or Spanish is a plus

• Willingness to work shifts and respond to emergency breakdowns

Why join?

• Work on a brand-new Krones bottling line, top-tier equipment in the beverage industry

• A family-owned company with 87 years of history in Curaçao, proud of their family culture

• Real ownership: you diagnose and solve problems yourself, within clear procedures

• Room to improve the operation through TPM and reliability projects

Offer

• 1-year contract with the option of a permanent position

• Up to USD 2,300 gross per month, plus a monthly production bonus (currently about USD 150 on average)

• 13th month salary and 7.5% holiday allowance

• 18 vacation days to start, increasing with years of service

• Health insurance for you and your family

• A yearly return flight home for you and your family

• Mobile phone with data plan

• Access to the company savings fund

• CBBC handles your visa and work permit
