Production Line Worker (Food Factory)

Here in Worcester, a snack food factory needs steady people who can repeat a task well for eight hours. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

Home base is a snack food factory on the Worcester side of Western Cape. Shifts rotate, so you'll need to be flexible about days and nights.

• Help the machine operator clear jams and reload hoppers
• Pack finished product into cases and stack them by batch number
• Wear hairnets, beard covers and gloves in food-safe zones
• Hand over at shift change with notes on rejects and stoppages
• Stop the line with the emergency stop if anything jams or looks unsafe
• Record batch codes and counts on the hourly production sheet
• Change over packaging film and labels when the line switches product

• Neat, reliable and on time for shift start
• You follow hygiene rules without being reminded
• Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area
• Available for rotating day and night shifts

• Some basic first-aid training
• Previous work in a food or FMCG factory

• Staff shop with discounted factory products
• Night-shift allowance on top of basic pay
• Company transport on some night shifts

• 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.
