Factory Hand (Bottling Plant) – Immediate Start

Machines set the pace at this plastic moulding plant in Fourways; you keep up and catch the faults. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

This post is Fourways-based, with most of your time spent at a plastic moulding plant.

• Clean down machines and floors at the end of each run
• Check product for size, weight and seal faults and pull out rejects
• Stop the line with the emergency stop if anything jams or looks unsafe
• Change over packaging film and labels when the line switches product
• Feed raw material or empty packaging into the machine at the start of the line
• Help the machine operator clear jams and reload hoppers

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

• Experience assisting on a packaging or filling machine
• A food handler or basic HACCP awareness certificate

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

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