Job Description

Good factory hands stay for years, and this snack food factory in Epping trains from day one. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

  • Help the machine operator clear jams and reload hoppers
  • Feed raw material or empty packaging into the machine at the start of the line

  • Basic reading and counting for batch sheets
  • Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check
  • Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area
  • Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage

Helpful, not essential
