Job Description

Here in Vanderbijlpark, a plastic moulding plant 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.

You'll report in Vanderbijlpark. Relocation is not covered for this one. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

What your day looks like

  • Record batch codes and counts on the hourly production sheet
  • Help the machine operator clear jams and reload hoppers
  • Stop the line with the emergency stop if anything jams or looks unsafe
  • Clean down machines and floors at the end of each run
  • Pack finished product into cases and stack them by batch number
  • Feed raw material or empty packaging into the machine at the start of the line

What you need

  • No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection
  • Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check
  • You follow hygiene rules without being reminded
  • Basic reading and counting for batch sheets
  • Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage
  • Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area

What's in it for you

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

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.
  • Mention that you can work rotating shifts right at the top. It is the first thing most factories filter on.
