Job Description

Good factory hands stay for years, and this snack food factory in Isando trains from day one. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

You'll report in Isando. Relocation is not covered for this one. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

What you'll actually do

  • Weigh ingredients or additives against the recipe card
  • Clean down machines and floors at the end of each run
  • Wear hairnets, beard covers and gloves in food-safe zones
  • Follow lock-out procedures when helping with cleaning inside machines
  • Feed raw material or empty packaging into the machine at the start of the line

Must-haves

  • Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area
  • Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage
  • No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection
  • Neat, reliable and on time for shift start
  • Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check

Helpful, not essential

  • A food handler or basic HACCP awareness certificate
  • Experience assisting on a packaging or filling machine
  • Some basic first-aid training

What you get

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

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: your latest school results or matric certificate plus CV listing any factory or packing work, even short-term.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.

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

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

  • 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.
