Job Description

Machines set the pace at this industrial bakery in Gqeberha; you keep up and catch the faults. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

You'll be based at an industrial bakery in Gqeberha. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

What you'll actually do

Record batch codes and counts on the hourly production sheet
Feed raw material or empty packaging into the machine at the start of the line
Wear hairnets, beard covers and gloves in food-safe zones
Move full bins and crates to the next station with a trolley
Follow lock-out procedures when helping with cleaning inside machines
Hand over at shift change with notes on rejects and stoppages

You'll need

Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check
Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage
Neat, reliable and on time for shift start
Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area
Available for rotating day and night shifts
Basic reading and counting for batch sheets

What's in it for you

Staff shop with discounted factory products
Company transport on some night shifts
Free PPE, overalls and hairnets

Applying, step by step

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Keep copies of these ready to send: ID copy, certified within the last three months, food handler or HACCP certificate if you have one plus your latest school results or matric certificate.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 8 working days, usually by phone.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Gqeberha; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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

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.
