Here in Roodepoort, a furniture assembly factory needs steady people who can repeat a task well for eight hours. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

You'll report in Roodepoort. Relocation is not covered for this one.

  • Record batch codes and counts on the hourly production sheet
  • Move full bins and crates to the next station with a trolley
  • Wear hairnets, beard covers and gloves in food-safe zones
  • Hand over at shift change with notes on rejects and stoppages
  • Check product for size, weight and seal faults and pull out rejects

What you need

  • Medically fit; some food plants ask for a medical check
  • No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection
  • Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage
  • You follow hygiene rules without being reminded

Nice if you have

  • NQF Level 2 manufacturing learnership completed

  • Some basic first-aid training

What's in it for you

  • Path to machine operator after six months
  • Night-shift allowance on top of basic pay
  • Staff shop with discounted factory products

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): CV listing any factory or packing work, even short-term plus ID copy, certified within the last three months.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 9 working days.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Roodepoort.

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

  • Do not wear jewellery or long nails to the interview if it is on site. Food factories notice and it counts.
  • Name the products you worked on before, like "biscuit line" or "juice bottling". Factory recruiters read that faster than a job title.
