Bakery Production Hand (Early Shift) – Entry Level

Good factory hands stay for years, and this furniture assembly factory in Brakpan trains from day one. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

Location: Brakpan, Gauteng. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first.

• Weigh ingredients or additives against the recipe card
• Stop the line with the emergency stop if anything jams or looks unsafe

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

• Some basic first-aid training
• A food handler or basic HACCP awareness certificate

• Free PPE, overalls and hairnets
• Company transport on some night shifts
