Factory Hand (Bottling Plant)

Here in Stellenbosch, an industrial bakery needs steady people who can repeat a task well for eight hours. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The work is in Stellenbosch, Western Cape, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

• Feed raw material or empty packaging into the machine at the start of the line
• Move full bins and crates to the next station with a trolley
• Change over packaging film and labels when the line switches product
• Pack finished product into cases and stack them by batch number
• Clean down machines and floors at the end of each run
• Check product for size, weight and seal faults and pull out rejects

• No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection
• Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check
• Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage
• Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area

• Some basic first-aid training
• NQF Level 2 manufacturing learnership completed

• Staff shop with discounted factory products
• Night-shift allowance on top of basic pay
• Path to machine operator after six months
• Free PPE, overalls and hairnets

• Mention that you can work rotating shifts right at the top. It is the first thing most factories filter on.
• Name the products you worked on before, like "biscuit line" or "juice bottling". Factory recruiters read that faster than a job title.
