Job Description

Machines set the pace at this soft drink bottling plant in Bellville; you keep up and catch the faults. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

This post is Bellville-based, with most of your time spent at a soft drink bottling plant. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What you'll actually do

  • Record batch codes and counts on the hourly production sheet
  • Weigh ingredients or additives against the recipe card
  • Help the machine operator clear jams and reload hoppers
  • Follow lock-out procedures when helping with cleaning inside machines
  • Clean down machines and floors at the end of each run

Must-haves

  • Available for rotating day and night shifts
  • You follow hygiene rules without being reminded
  • Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage
  • Neat, reliable and on time for shift start
  • Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area
  • No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection

Helpful, not essential

  • Previous work in a food or FMCG factory
  • NQF Level 2 manufacturing learnership completed
  • Some basic first-aid training

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

  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: food handler or HACCP certificate if you have one, your latest school results or matric certificate plus ID copy, certified within the last three months.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 5 working days, usually by phone.

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Do not wear jewellery or long nails to the interview if it is on site. Food factories notice and it counts.
  • Mention that you can work rotating shifts right at the top. It is the first thing most factories filter on.
