Job Description

Here in Newcastle, an industrial bakery needs steady people who can repeat a task well for eight hours. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

Location: Newcastle, KwaZulu-Natal. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

What you'll actually do

  • Wear hairnets, beard covers and gloves in food-safe zones
  • Weigh ingredients or additives against the recipe card
  • Clean down machines and floors at the end of each run
  • Change over packaging film and labels when the line switches product
  • Stop the line with the emergency stop if anything jams or looks unsafe
  • Record batch codes and counts on the hourly production sheet
  • Follow lock-out procedures when helping with cleaning inside machines

Must-haves

  • Basic reading and counting for batch sheets
  • Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check
  • Neat, reliable and on time for shift start
  • Available for rotating day and night shifts
  • You follow hygiene rules without being reminded

Nice if you have

  • Experience assisting on a packaging or filling machine
  • Previous work in a food or FMCG factory

On offer

How to apply
