Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Tembisa really suit you before you apply.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: CV listing any factory or packing work, even short-term, ID copy, certified within the last three months plus food handler or HACCP certificate if you have one.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 10 working days.

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

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.

Before you hit apply

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