Job Description

  • Hand over at shift change with notes on rejects and stoppages
  • Wear hairnets, beard covers and gloves in food-safe zones
  • Pack finished product into cases and stack them by batch number
  • Record batch codes and counts on the hourly production sheet
  • Help the machine operator clear jams and reload hoppers

What you need

  • You follow hygiene rules without being reminded
  • No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection
  • Basic reading and counting for batch sheets
  • Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area
  • Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check

Extra points for

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

On offer

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

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Komani; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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.
