Job Description

Here in Sandton, a plastic moulding plant needs steady people who can repeat a task well for eight hours. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

You'll be based at a plastic moulding plant in Sandton. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

The work, day to day

  • Move full bins and crates to the next station with a trolley
  • Follow lock-out procedures when helping with cleaning inside machines
  • Weigh ingredients or additives against the recipe card
  • Stop the line with the emergency stop if anything jams or looks unsafe
  • Pack finished product into cases and stack them by batch number
  • Change over packaging film and labels when the line switches product

Must-haves

  • Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage
  • No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection
  • Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check
  • Basic reading and counting for batch sheets

Helpful, not essential

  • A food handler or basic HACCP awareness certificate
  • Experience assisting on a packaging or filling machine

On offer

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