Job Description

Here in East London, an industrial bakery needs steady people who can repeat a task well for eight hours. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The site is in East London; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

The work, day to day

Check product for size, weight and seal faults and pull out rejects
Pack finished product into cases and stack them by batch number
Follow lock-out procedures when helping with cleaning inside machines
Clean down machines and floors at the end of each run
Weigh ingredients or additives against the recipe card

You'll need

Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage
Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area
Neat, reliable and on time for shift start
No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection

Nice if you have

NQF Level 2 manufacturing learnership completed
Previous work in a food or FMCG factory
Some basic first-aid training

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in East London really suit you before you apply.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: ID copy, certified within the last three months, your latest school results or matric certificate plus food handler or HACCP certificate if you have one.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around East London.

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

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