Job Description

Good factory hands stay for years, and this furniture assembly factory in Tembisa trains from day one. Expect to be trusted with real work from your first week.

You'll report in Tembisa. Relocation is not covered for this one. The first two weeks are spent shadowing someone experienced.

What your day looks like

Clean down machines and floors at the end of each run

Weigh ingredients or additives against the recipe card
Change over packaging film and labels when the line switches product
Wear hairnets, beard covers and gloves in food-safe zones

What you need

Basic reading and counting for batch sheets
Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check
Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area
Neat, reliable and on time for shift start
You follow hygiene rules without being reminded
No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection

What you get

Free PPE, overalls and hairnets
Night-shift allowance on top of basic pay
Staff shop with discounted factory products

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): your latest school results or matric certificate, ID copy, certified within the last three months plus food handler or HACCP certificate if you have one.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Tembisa.

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

Do not wear jewellery or long nails to the interview if it is on site. Food factories notice and it counts.
Name the products you worked on before, like "biscuit line" or "juice bottling". Factory recruiters read that faster than a job title.
