Job Description

Machines set the pace at this furniture assembly factory in Sandton; you keep up and catch the faults. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

The site is in Sandton; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

Change over packaging film and labels when the line switches product
Weigh ingredients or additives against the recipe card
Clean down machines and floors at the end of each run
Pack finished product into cases and stack them by batch number
Check product for size, weight and seal faults and pull out rejects
Feed raw material or empty packaging into the machine at the start of the line

You'll need

You follow hygiene rules without being reminded
Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check
Basic reading and counting for batch sheets
No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection

Nice if you have

A food handler or basic HACCP awareness certificate
Some basic first-aid training

What's in it for you

Night-shift allowance on top of basic pay
Free PPE, overalls and hairnets
Path to machine operator after six months
Company transport on some night shifts

Applying, step by step

Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: your latest school results or matric certificate, CV listing any factory or packing work, even short-term plus ID copy, certified within the last three months.
Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 10 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Sandton; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

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

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.
