Job Description

Here in Germiston, a soft drink bottling plant needs steady people who can repeat a task well for eight hours. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

This post is in Germiston (Gauteng). Please only apply if you can travel there daily.

  • Follow lock-out procedures when helping with cleaning inside machines
  • Feed raw material or empty packaging into the machine at the start of the line
  • Clean down machines and floors at the end of each run
  • Hand over at shift change with notes on rejects and stoppages
  • Weigh ingredients or additives against the recipe card
  • Record batch codes and counts on the hourly production sheet

Must-haves

  • Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area
  • Available for rotating day and night shifts
  • Basic reading and counting for batch sheets

On offer

  • Free PPE, overalls and hairnets
  • Company transport on some night shifts
