Job Description

Machines set the pace at this furniture assembly factory in Sandton; you keep up and catch the faults. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

This post is in Sandton (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Weekend work is on a roster, so you won't be on every weekend.

What you'll actually do

Feed raw material or empty packaging into the machine at the start of the line
Change over packaging film and labels when the line switches product
Check product for size, weight and seal faults and pull out rejects
Pack finished product into cases and stack them by batch number
Stop the line with the emergency stop if anything jams or looks unsafe
Move full bins and crates to the next station with a trolley

Must-haves

No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection
Neat, reliable and on time for shift start
Basic reading and counting for batch sheets
Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check

Helpful, not essential

Some basic first-aid training
NQF Level 2 manufacturing learnership completed

What you get

Path to machine operator after six months
Company transport on some night shifts
Staff shop with discounted factory products

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: CV listing any factory or packing work, even short-term plus food handler or HACCP certificate if you have one.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Sandton.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

Mention that you can work rotating shifts right at the top. It is the first thing most factories filter on.
Name the products you worked on before, like "biscuit line" or "juice bottling". Factory recruiters read that faster than a job title.
