Meat Processing Line Worker – Experienced

You'll keep the line running at a plastic moulding plant in Kariega, feeding, checking and packing product all shift. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is in Kariega (Eastern Cape). Please only apply if you can travel there daily. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Stop the line with the emergency stop if anything jams or looks unsafe

• Wear hairnets, beard covers and gloves in food-safe zones

• Basic reading and counting for batch sheets
• Neat, reliable and on time for shift start
