Job Description

Machines set the pace at this plastic moulding plant in Worcester; you keep up and catch the faults. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

Home base is a plastic moulding plant on the Worcester side of Western Cape. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

What you'll actually do

  • Help the machine operator clear jams and reload hoppers
  • Clean down machines and floors at the end of each run
  • Stop the line with the emergency stop if anything jams or looks unsafe
  • Weigh ingredients or additives against the recipe card

Must-haves

  • Basic reading and counting for batch sheets
  • You follow hygiene rules without being reminded
  • Neat, reliable and on time for shift start
  • Available for rotating day and night shifts
  • Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check

What you get

  • Free PPE, overalls and hairnets
  • Staff shop with discounted factory products
  • 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.

  • Do not wear jewellery or long nails to the interview if it is on site. Food factories notice and it counts.
