Maintenance Supply Coordinator

The Maintenance Supply Technician plays a critical role in supporting the maintenance department by ensuring the accurate control, organization, and availability of maintenance parts and technical materials. This position focuses solely on maintenance‑related components, not general supply chain or warehouse inventory. The Maintenance Supply Technician receives, organizes, and tracks all spare parts and materials required to keep facility equipment running safely and efficiently.

This role is also an active participant in the site’s Barry Callebaut Operating System (BCOS) journey, supporting standards, loss elimination, and autonomous maintenance progress by ensuring parts availability, accuracy, and proper material flow to enable world‑class maintenance reliability. The Technician is responsible for performing all material transactions in company systems and consistently upholding food safety and employee safety standards in all daily activities.
