Factory Hand (Bottling Plant) – Entry Level

Here in Centurion, 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.

Home base is a plastic moulding plant on the Centurion side of Gauteng. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

• Feed raw material or empty packaging into the machine at the start of the line
• Help the machine operator clear jams and reload hoppers
• Follow lock-out procedures when helping with cleaning inside machines
• Change over packaging film and labels when the line switches product
• Weigh ingredients or additives against the recipe card
• Move full bins and crates to the next station with a trolley
• Stop the line with the emergency stop if anything jams or looks unsafe

• Basic reading and counting for batch sheets
• Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage
• No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection
• Neat, reliable and on time for shift start
• You follow hygiene rules without being reminded

• Company transport on some night shifts
• Staff shop with discounted factory products
• Night-shift allowance on top of basic pay

• Do not wear jewellery or long nails to the interview if it is on site. Food factories notice and it counts.
• Name the products you worked on before, like "biscuit line" or "juice bottling". Factory recruiters read that faster than a job title.
