  • Help the machine operator clear jams and reload hoppers
  • Change over packaging film and labels when the line switches product

  • Check product for size, weight and seal faults and pull out rejects
  • Hand over at shift change with notes on rejects and stoppages

  • Neat, reliable and on time for shift start
  • You follow hygiene rules without being reminded

Nice if you have

  • Night-shift allowance on top of basic pay

How to apply

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: ID copy, certified within the last three months 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. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 8 working days.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

How to stand out

  • 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.
