Job Description

Here in George, a furniture assembly factory needs steady people who can repeat a task well for eight hours. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is in George (Western Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

What you'll actually do

  • Hand over at shift change with notes on rejects and stoppages
  • Change over packaging film and labels when the line switches product
  • Pack finished product into cases and stack them by batch number
  • Move full bins and crates to the next station with a trolley
  • Check product for size, weight and seal faults and pull out rejects

You'll need

  • No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection
  • Basic reading and counting for batch sheets
  • Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage
  • Available for rotating day and night shifts

Helpful, not essential

  • A food handler or basic HACCP awareness certificate
  • Previous work in a food or FMCG factory
  • Some basic first-aid training

What you get

  • Night-shift allowance on top of basic pay
  • Path to machine operator after six months
  • Staff shop with discounted factory products

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): your latest school results or matric certificate plus food handler or HACCP certificate if you have one.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 6 working days.

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

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.

How to stand out

  • Mention that you can work rotating shifts right at the top. It is the first thing most factories filter on.
  • Name the products you worked on before, like "biscuit line" or "juice bottling". Factory recruiters read that faster than a job title.
