Job Description

Here in Krugersdorp, an industrial bakery needs steady people who can repeat a task well for eight hours. This is a good step for someone who wants proper routine and a manager who notices good work.

The work is in Krugersdorp, Gauteng, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day.

The work, day to day

  • Hand over at shift change with notes on rejects and stoppages
  • Check product for size, weight and seal faults and pull out rejects
  • Weigh ingredients or additives against the recipe card
  • Help the machine operator clear jams and reload hoppers
  • Record batch codes and counts on the hourly production sheet
  • Wear hairnets, beard covers and gloves in food-safe zones

You'll need

  • Available for rotating day and night shifts
  • Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage
  • Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check
  • Basic reading and counting for batch sheets
  • You follow hygiene rules without being reminded
  • 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
  • A food handler or basic HACCP awareness certificate

What's in it for you

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

How to apply

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): food handler or HACCP certificate if you have one, CV listing any factory or packing work, even short-term plus your latest school results or matric certificate.
  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 9 working days.
