Job Description

Machines set the pace at this snack food factory in Prospecton; you keep up and catch the faults. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

Help the machine operator clear jams and reload hoppers
Weigh ingredients or additives against the recipe card
Stop the line with the emergency stop if anything jams or looks unsafe
Change over packaging film and labels when the line switches product
Clean down machines and floors at the end of each run

What you need

Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage
Available for rotating day and night shifts
Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check
Basic reading and counting for batch sheets
You follow hygiene rules without being reminded
No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection

Helpful, not essential

Applying, step by step

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Prospecton really suit you before you apply.
Keep copies of these ready to send: your latest school results or matric certificate, CV listing any factory or packing work, even short-term plus ID copy, certified within the last three months.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Prospecton.

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.

Before you hit apply

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.
