Feed raw material or empty packaging into the machine at the start of the line
Wear hairnets, beard covers and gloves in food-safe zones
Weigh ingredients or additives against the recipe card
Change over packaging film and labels when the line switches product
Pack finished product into cases and stack them by batch number

What you need

Basic reading and counting for batch sheets
You follow hygiene rules without being reminded
Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check
No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection
Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area
Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage

On offer

Staff shop with discounted factory products
Path to machine operator after six months
Company transport on some night shifts
Night-shift allowance on top of basic pay

Applying, step by step

Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): food handler or HACCP certificate if you have one, your latest school results or matric certificate plus ID copy, certified within the last three months.
Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 10 working days, usually by phone.

Tips to get shortlisted

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.
