Job Description

Good factory hands stay for years, and this meat processing plant in Johannesburg CBD trains from day one. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is in Johannesburg CBD (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

What your day looks like

Pack finished product into cases and stack them by batch number
Weigh ingredients or additives against the recipe card
Wear hairnets, beard covers and gloves in food-safe zones
Clean down machines and floors at the end of each run
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

Must-haves

Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area
Neat, reliable and on time for shift start
Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage
Basic reading and counting for batch sheets
Available for rotating day and night shifts

Helpful, not essential

Some basic first-aid training
Previous work in a food or FMCG factory
A food handler or basic HACCP awareness certificate

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: ID copy, certified within the last three months, CV listing any factory or packing work, even short-term plus food handler or HACCP certificate if you have one.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

Before you hit apply

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