Visit the official CCBA Careers website
The careers page provides access to professional jobs, graduate opportunities and CCBA’s recruitment portal. (CCBA)
Step 2: Open the Official CCBA Recruitment Portal

Step 3: Search for a Suitable Vacancy
Browse the available jobs and look for a position that matches your:
- Qualification
- Skills
- Experience
- Location
- Career interests
Do not apply simply because a position has the Coca-Cola name.
Read the requirements carefully first.
For example, some positions may require Grade 12, while technical or professional positions may require a diploma, degree, trade qualification or previous work experience.
Step 4: Open the Vacancy
Click the job title you are interested in.
Read the full advertisement, especially:
Location: Make sure you can work where the position is based.
Qualifications: Check whether you have the required qualification.
Experience: Check whether previous experience is required.
Responsibilities: Understand what you would be doing.
Closing date: Submit your application before the deadline.
Step 5: Create Your Candidate Profile
CCBA says candidates can create a profile on its career portal and apply directly for vacancies.
The company also encourages candidates to join its talent community. If there is currently no suitable position, candidates may receive notifications when opportunities matching their interests become available. (CCBA)
Make sure the information in your profile is correct.
Use an email address and cellphone number that you check regularly.
Step 6: Prepare Your CV
Before applying, update your CV.
Your CV should clearly include your:
- Full name and contact details
- Education
- Qualifications
- Skills
- Work experience, if applicable
- Training or certificates
- References, where appropriate
Keep your CV simple and easy to read.
Do not include qualifications or experience that you do not have.
Step 7: Complete the Online Application
Select the position and follow the application instructions on the CCBA portal.
Complete all required sections.
CCBA’s recruitment system may require your candidate profile to be complete before you can submit an application. Its graduate portal, for example, tells candidates that they need a complete profile before making applications. (Coca-Cola Beverages Africa)
Check everything carefully before submitting.
Step 8: Submit Your Application
Once all required information is complete, submit the application.
Do not leave the application unfinished.
After submitting, regularly check your:
Email inbox
Spam or junk folder
CCBA candidate profile
This can help you avoid missing communication about your application.

Graduate Opportunities
CCBA also operates a separate recruitment portal for graduate opportunities.
At the time of checking, the graduate portal showed no current graduate, bursary or learnership listings, while the main careers page states that applications for the 2026 Ascend programme are closed. Applicants should keep checking for future opportunities. (Coca-Cola Beverages Africa)
Can You Apply With Grade 12?
It depends on the vacancy.
Some entry-level or operational CCBA jobs may accept Grade 12, while other positions require additional qualifications, skills or experience.
Never assume that every CCBA vacancy requires only Matric.
Check the requirements for the specific position before applying.
CCBA Jobs for Graduates
CCBA also recruits graduates when programmes are available.
Its Ascend Leaders in Training Programme is an 18-month development programme designed to prepare high-performing graduates for leadership roles. However, CCBA currently states that applications for the 2026 Ascend cohort are closed, with applicants advised to watch for the next opportunity in 2027. (CCBA)
CCBA welcomed more than 60 participants from several African countries, including South Africa, into the 2026 Ascend programme. (CCBA)
What If There Are No Suitable CCBA Jobs?
Do not apply for positions when you clearly do not meet the requirements.
Instead, create your profile and join the CCBA talent community.
According to CCBA, candidates who cannot currently find a suitable position may receive notifications when new jobs matching their areas of interest are added to the portal. (CCBA)
This is useful because CCBA vacancies can open and close throughout the year.
CCBA Vacancies in South Africa
In South Africa, CCBA operates through Coca-Cola Beverages South Africa (CCBSA).
CCBSA has 11 manufacturing plants across six provinces and employs thousands of people in South Africa. (CCBA)
Opportunities can therefore appear in different locations depending on the company’s staffing needs.
Always use the location shown in the individual vacancy advertisement.
Important Application Tips
Apply only for positions where you meet most or all of the essential requirements.
Use a professional email address and make sure your cellphone number is correct.
Upload an updated CV.
Do not submit the same generic CV without checking whether it highlights the skills needed for the position.
Apply before the closing date.
Most importantly, use the official CCBA recruitment portal rather than relying only on screenshots or vacancy posts circulating on social media.
Be Careful of Fake Coca-Cola Job Adverts
Coca-Cola is a well-known brand, so fake job advertisements can sometimes use its name.
The safest approach is to confirm the vacancy on CCBA’s official careers website before providing personal information.
A genuine CCBA vacancy should be traceable through the company’s official careers or recruitment portal.
Do not pay anyone who claims they can guarantee you a CCBA job or interview.
