Job Description

Machines set the pace at this furniture assembly factory in Montague Gardens; you keep up and catch the faults. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The site is in Montague Gardens; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What you'll actually do

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

What you need

  • Basic reading and counting for batch sheets
  • Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check
  • No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection
  • Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area
  • Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage

What you get

  • Free PPE, overalls and hairnets
  • Path to machine operator after six months
  • Company transport on some night shifts
  • Night-shift allowance on top of basic pay

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): ID copy, certified within the last three months, food handler or HACCP certificate if you have one plus CV listing any factory or packing work, even short-term.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 7 working days.

How to stand out
