Job Description

Here in Coega, a snack food factory needs steady people who can repeat a task well for eight hours. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

Home base is a snack food factory on the Coega side of Eastern Cape. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

The work, day to day

  • Weigh ingredients or additives against the recipe card
  • Help the machine operator clear jams and reload hoppers
  • Move full bins and crates to the next station with a trolley
  • Feed raw material or empty packaging into the machine at the start of the line
  • Follow lock-out procedures when helping with cleaning inside machines
  • Hand over at shift change with notes on rejects and stoppages

Must-haves

  • Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage
  • Neat, reliable and on time for shift start
  • Available for rotating day and night shifts
  • Basic reading and counting for batch sheets
  • Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: CV listing any factory or packing work, even short-term plus food handler or HACCP certificate if you have one.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 7 working days.
