Job Description

Good factory hands stay for years, and this furniture assembly factory in Boksburg trains from day one. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The work is in Boksburg, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

What your day looks like

  • Hand over at shift change with notes on rejects and stoppages
  • Stop the line with the emergency stop if anything jams or looks unsafe
  • Clean down machines and floors at the end of each run
  • Check product for size, weight and seal faults and pull out rejects
  • Pack finished product into cases and stack them by batch number

Must-haves

  • Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check
  • No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection
  • Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage
  • Available for rotating day and night shifts

Nice if you have

  • Previous work in a food or FMCG factory
