About The Position

The World of Coca-Cola is seeking a Vending Technician for its Facilities team to support beverage operations. The role is responsible for maintenance, preventative maintenance, and repair of vending machines, soda fountains, and Freestyle machines.

The technician troubleshoots equipment issues, maintains and inspects equipment, orders and installs equipment, and consults vendors when repairs are beyond their expertise. The role also manages beverage inventory and storage areas, replenishes products, rotates stock using FIFO, receives and stores deliveries, conducts weekly inventory counts, and resolves paperwork or order discrepancies. The technician follows safety policies, uses motorized equipment and vehicles cautiously, keeps required certifications current, and completes preventive-maintenance logs and incident reports.
