Job Description

Machines set the pace at this industrial bakery in Khayelitsha; you keep up and catch the faults. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

Location: Khayelitsha, Western Cape. Applicants who already live in the area get looked at first. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

The work, day to day

Help the machine operator clear jams and reload hoppers
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
Move full bins and crates to the next station with a trolley
Hand over at shift change with notes on rejects and stoppages
Weigh ingredients or additives against the recipe card

Must-haves

Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage
Neat, reliable and on time for shift start
Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area
Available for rotating day and night shifts

Helpful, not essential

A food handler or basic HACCP awareness certificate
NQF Level 2 manufacturing learnership completed

What's in it for you

Free PPE, overalls and hairnets
Path to machine operator after six months
Company transport on some night shifts

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.
