Department: Production

Employment Type: Full-time

Location: San Gwann, Malta

About the Role

We are a leading water manufacturing company looking for a skilled and reliable Production Maintenance Technician to join our team on a full-time basis.

In this role, you will be responsible for keeping our high-speed bottling and production lines running smoothly, performing essential preventive maintenance, and resolving technical issues quickly to minimise downtime.

Our operations include various formations of bottles—2L, 5L, PET, 11L, 12L, and 19L formats, as well as returnable bottles.

We are seeking a technician with a solid mechanical background to optimize machine uptime, perform preventive maintenance, and handle troubleshooting across these varied production formats.

Key Responsibilities

Routine Inspections: Conduct regular maintenance and checks on production equipment, including high-speed filling, bottling, and blow-moulding machinery across all line sizes.

Troubleshooting & Repairs: Diagnose and quickly resolve mechanical, electrical, and technical breakdowns to minimise production stops.

Preventive Maintenance: Carry out planned preventive tasks to prevent machine failures and improve overall factory efficiency.

Line Setup & Adjustments: Assist with machine changeovers and calibrations between different bottle formations (from smaller PET retail bottles up to 19L returnable water cooler carboys).

Team Collaboration: Work closely with the production team to identify, prioritise, and address ongoing maintenance needs.

Safety & Compliance: Ensure all maintenance work complies strictly with industrial safety standards, food hygiene regulations, and company policies.

Documentation: Keep detailed and accurate records of all maintenance work, repairs, and technical reports.

Qualifications & Requirements:

Experience: Minimum of 2 years of experience as an industrial maintenance technician or a similar industrial role. Direct experience within the beverage, liquid processing, or water bottling industry is not mandatory, but candidates from this background will be given top priority.

Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of mechanical systems, pneumatics, and hydraulics, with the ability to read technical diagrams and manuals easily.

Electrical Knowledge: A solid understanding of electrical troubleshooting is a strong asset. Possession of Malta/Home Country Electrical Licenses is considered a significant advantage but is not mandatory.

Problem-Solving: Excellent diagnostic skills, a practical hands-on mindset, and sharp attention to detail under pressure.

Teamwork & Independence: Ability to work efficiently on your own initiative as well as part of the wider production team.

Communication: Good written and verbal communication skills in English.
