Job Description

Good factory hands stay for years, and this industrial bakery in Rustenburg trains from day one. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The site is in Rustenburg; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

  • Hand over at shift change with notes on rejects and stoppages
  • Clean down machines and floors at the end of each run
  • Wear hairnets, beard covers and gloves in food-safe zones
  • 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

You'll need

  • Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check
  • Neat, reliable and on time for shift start
  • Available for rotating day and night shifts
  • Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area
  • Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage

Extra points for

  • Some basic first-aid training
  • Experience assisting on a packaging or filling machine

What you get

  • Company transport on some night shifts
  • Path to machine operator after six months
  • Night-shift allowance on top of basic pay

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.

How to stand out

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