Job Description

Here in Umhlanga, an industrial bakery needs steady people who can repeat a task well for eight hours. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

The work is in Umhlanga, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

What you'll actually do

Help the machine operator clear jams and reload hoppers
Weigh ingredients or additives against the recipe card
Move full bins and crates to the next station with a trolley
Hand over at shift change with notes on rejects and stoppages
Stop the line with the emergency stop if anything jams or looks unsafe

What you need

No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection
Available for rotating day and night shifts
You follow hygiene rules without being reminded
Neat, reliable and on time for shift start
Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area

Helpful, not essential

NQF Level 2 manufacturing learnership completed
Previous work in a food or FMCG factory
Some basic first-aid training

On offer

Path to machine operator after six months
Night-shift allowance on top of basic pay
Free PPE, overalls and hairnets
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): food handler or HACCP certificate if you have one plus ID copy, certified within the last three months.
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 9 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 Umhlanga.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

Before you hit apply

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.
