You'll need

No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection
Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area
Available for rotating day and night shifts
Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage
You follow hygiene rules without being reminded

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: your latest school results or matric certificate, ID copy, certified within the last three months plus CV listing any factory or packing work, even short-term.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around Centurion; 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.

Tips to get shortlisted

Name the products you worked on before, like "biscuit line" or "juice bottling". Factory recruiters read that faster than a job title.
Mention that you can work rotating shifts right at the top. It is the first thing most factories filter on.
