About Boxbar Tech

Boxbar Tech is an award-winning, high-growth technology company transforming the way drinks are served across venues, stadiums, arenas and hospitality environments globally.

We have created automated self-service drinks technology designed to increase service speed, improve quality, reduce queues, drive operational efficiency and enhance the customer experience for our partners.

Our technology combines mechanical, electrical, dispense and connected technology to create a complete beverage service solution.

We work with major venues, hospitality operators, sporting organisations and entertainment partners around the world, including Live Nation, ASM Global, LIV Golf, Levy, Sodexo, AEG Presents, Soldier Field, Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City, Juventus, Co-op Live and many more.

As we continue to grow our US operation, we are looking for a technically capable Beverage Dispense Technician to support the installation, commissioning, servicing and ongoing maintenance of Boxbar technology across our growing customer base.

About the Role

This is a hands-on field engineering and technical support role focused primarily on installations, new venue launches and ongoing maintenance.

You will help install and commission Boxbar systems at new customer locations, provide technical support during the critical launch period and then help maintain those systems throughout their operational life.

You will work with mechanical, electrical, beverage dispense and connected technology, diagnosing faults, completing preventative maintenance and ensuring our equipment remains safe, reliable and performing to the standard our customers expect.

This is not primarily an events role. While some customers operate within stadiums, arenas and live entertainment environments, the core purpose of the position is to provide professional field service support to our growing installed technology base across the US.

Key Responsibilities

Installations & Commissioning

• Support the installation of Boxbar machines and associated beverage technology at new customer venues.
• Carry out equipment positioning, assembly, connection, setup and commissioning.
• Work with internal project teams, venue teams, contractors and other technical partners during installations.
• Complete installation checks and ensure equipment is safe, operational and ready for customer handover.
• Test mechanical, electrical, dispense and technology functionality before launch.
• Identify installation issues early and work with the appropriate teams to resolve them.
• Maintain accurate installation documentation, commissioning records and site information.
• Ensure installations are completed professionally, safely and to Boxbar standards.

New Venue Launch Support

• Provide on-site technical support when new Boxbar installations go live.
• Ensure systems are fully operational and performing correctly during initial customer use.
• Train venue teams and nominated customer representatives on correct equipment operation.
• Explain basic troubleshooting and maintenance procedures to customer teams.
• Monitor equipment performance during the launch period and resolve technical issues quickly.
• Capture feedback and technical learnings from new installations.
• Work closely with Operations, Product and Engineering teams to ensure any recurring issues are identified and addressed.

Service, Maintenance & Repairs

• Carry out planned preventative maintenance across installed Boxbar equipment.
• Diagnose and repair mechanical, electrical, beverage dispense and operational faults.
• Replace components and complete approved repairs in the field.
• Inspect systems to identify potential issues before they become failures.
• Carry out equipment cleaning, testing, calibration and servicing where required.
• Maintain appropriate spare parts, tools and service equipment.
• Respond to customer technical issues and service requests in a professional and timely manner.
• Escalate complex technical faults clearly to Engineering, Product or senior technical colleagues when required.
• Complete accurate maintenance and service reports following every visit.

Technical Troubleshooting

• Diagnose equipment faults systematically and identify root causes wherever possible.
• Work confidently with mechanical components, electrical systems, beverage dispense equipment and connected technology.
• Use technical documentation, fault-finding processes and diagnostic tools effectively.
• Support remote troubleshooting where a customer issue can be resolved without a site visit.
• Feed recurring faults and technical observations back to Product and Engineering.
• Contribute to improved troubleshooting guides, maintenance procedures and technical documentation.

Customer & Venue Support

• Build strong working relationships with customer technical teams, venue operators and contractors.
• Communicate technical information clearly and practically.
• Represent Boxbar professionally whenever working at customer locations.
• Take ownership of problems and keep customers informed through to resolution.
• Help customers get maximum reliability and performance from their Boxbar technology.
• Identify opportunities where additional servicing, equipment or technical improvements may benefit the customer.

Continuous Improvement

• Provide feedback on equipment performance, reliability and maintainability.
• Highlight recurring technical issues and opportunities for product improvement.
• Support Product and Engineering teams with field observations and technical feedback.
• Help develop installation standards, maintenance schedules, checklists and service procedures.
• Contribute to improving the way Boxbar installs and supports equipment as our US operation scales.
