Job Description

Fruit from an export fruit packhouse near Mbombela ends up on shelves overseas, packed by your hands. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

  • Stack empty cartons and punnets ready for the next run
  • Check fruit samples and record quality results on the QC sheet
  • Help clean the line and machines at the end of the day
  • Follow food safety rules like hand washing and no jewellery
  • Stick labels and batch codes on each carton

Must-haves

  • Quick and neat with your hands
  • Available for the full packing season including Saturdays
  • Arrives on time for early shifts
  • Valid ID or permit
  • Able to stand at a line for long shifts

Nice if you have
