How to apply for this job

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Centurion really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): CV listing any factory or packing work, even short-term, ID copy, certified within the last three months plus your latest school results or matric certificate.
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 8 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 Centurion.

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.

Before you hit apply

Do not wear jewellery or long nails to the interview if it is on site. Food factories notice and it counts.
Mention that you can work rotating shifts right at the top. It is the first thing most factories filter on.
