Factory Hand (Bottling Plant)

Machines set the pace at this furniture assembly factory in Centurion; you keep up and catch the faults. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

This post is Centurion-based, with most of your time spent at a furniture assembly factory. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

• Clean down machines and floors at the end of each run
• Move full bins and crates to the next station with a trolley
• Wear hairnets, beard covers and gloves in food-safe zones
• Pack finished product into cases and stack them by batch number
• Check product for size, weight and seal faults and pull out rejects
• Hand over at shift change with notes on rejects and stoppages
• Follow lock-out procedures when helping with cleaning inside machines

• 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
• Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check
• Basic reading and counting for batch sheets

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

• Night-shift allowance on top of basic pay
• Staff shop with discounted factory products
• Path to machine operator after six months

• 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.
