Job Description

Machines set the pace at this furniture assembly factory in Worcester; you keep up and catch the faults. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The site is in Worcester; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What you'll actually do

  • Wear hairnets, beard covers and gloves in food-safe zones
  • Move full bins and crates to the next station with a trolley
  • Hand over at shift change with notes on rejects and stoppages
  • Weigh ingredients or additives against the recipe card
  • Pack finished product into cases and stack them by batch number
  • Clean down machines and floors at the end of each run

What you need

  • Available for rotating day and night shifts
  • Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check
  • No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection
  • Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage

Nice if you have

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

What you get

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

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: CV listing any factory or packing work, even short-term, food handler or HACCP certificate if you have one plus your latest school results or matric certificate.
  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 6 working days.
