Job Description

Here in Brits, a meat processing plant needs steady people who can repeat a task well for eight hours. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

You'll be based at a meat processing plant in Brits. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

What your day looks like

  • Change over packaging film and labels when the line switches product
  • Weigh ingredients or additives against the recipe card
  • Help the machine operator clear jams and reload hoppers
  • Pack finished product into cases and stack them by batch number
  • Wear hairnets, beard covers and gloves in food-safe zones

What you need

  • Neat, reliable and on time for shift start
  • You follow hygiene rules without being reminded
  • Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage
  • Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area
  • Basic reading and counting for batch sheets
  • Available for rotating day and night shifts

Helpful, not essential

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

On offer

  • Path to machine operator after six months
  • Staff shop with discounted factory products
  • Free PPE, overalls and hairnets
  • Company transport on some night shifts

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): your latest school results or matric certificate, food handler or HACCP certificate if you have one plus CV listing any factory or packing work, even short-term.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 5 working days, usually by phone.
