Job Description

Here in Durban Central, a furniture assembly factory needs steady people who can repeat a task well for eight hours. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

The site is in Durban Central; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What you'll actually do

  • Record batch codes and counts on the hourly production sheet
  • Help the machine operator clear jams and reload hoppers
  • Hand over at shift change with notes on rejects and stoppages
  • Change over packaging film and labels when the line switches product
  • Clean down machines and floors at the end of each run
  • Wear hairnets, beard covers and gloves in food-safe zones

You'll need

  • Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area
  • Available for rotating day and night shifts
  • You follow hygiene rules without being reminded
  • Basic reading and counting for batch sheets

What you get

  • Free PPE, overalls and hairnets
  • Night-shift allowance on top of basic pay
  • Path to machine operator after six months
  • Company transport on some night shifts

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Durban Central really suit you before you apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: ID copy, certified within the last three months plus your latest school results or matric certificate.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 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 Durban Central.

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

  • Do not wear jewellery or long nails to the interview if it is on site. Food factories notice and it counts.
  • Name the products you worked on before, like "biscuit line" or "juice bottling". Factory recruiters read that faster than a job title.
