Bakery Production Hand (Early Shift)

Machines set the pace at this furniture assembly factory in Ballito; you keep up and catch the faults. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

This post is Ballito-based, with most of your time spent at a furniture assembly factory.

• Move full bins and crates to the next station with a trolley
• Help the machine operator clear jams and reload hoppers
• Change over packaging film and labels when the line switches product
• Stop the line with the emergency stop if anything jams or looks unsafe
• Weigh ingredients or additives against the recipe card
• Pack finished product into cases and stack them by batch number
• Clean down machines and floors at the end of each run

• Neat, reliable and on time for shift start
• No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection
• Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area
• Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage
• Basic reading and counting for batch sheets
• Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check

• Staff shop with discounted factory products
• Free PPE, overalls and hairnets
• Company transport on some night shifts

• 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.
