Meat Processing Line Worker

You'll keep the line running at a snack food factory in Gqeberha, feeding, checking and packing product all shift. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

The site is in Gqeberha; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Start date: as soon as possible for the right person.

• Clean down machines and floors at the end of each run
• Move full bins and crates to the next station with a trolley
• Change over packaging film and labels when the line switches product
• Follow lock-out procedures when helping with cleaning inside machines
• Pack finished product into cases and stack them by batch number
• Weigh ingredients or additives against the recipe card

• Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check
• No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection
• Neat, reliable and on time for shift start
• You follow hygiene rules without being reminded

• Some basic first-aid training
• A food handler or basic HACCP awareness certificate

• Staff shop with discounted factory products
• Night-shift allowance on top of basic pay
• Company transport on some night shifts

• 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.
