Quality Sorter (Packaging Factory) – Fixed-Term

Machines set the pace at this industrial bakery in Midrand; you keep up and catch the faults. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

This post is Midrand-based, with most of your time spent at an industrial bakery.

• Change over packaging film and labels when the line switches product
• Record batch codes and counts on the hourly production sheet
• Check product for size, weight and seal faults and pull out rejects
• Feed raw material or empty packaging into the machine at the start of the line
• Stop the line with the emergency stop if anything jams or looks unsafe

• Basic reading and counting for batch sheets
• Available for rotating day and night shifts
• Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area
• Grade 10 minimum, matric an advantage
• No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection
• Neat, reliable and on time for shift start

• Previous work in a food or FMCG factory
• NQF Level 2 manufacturing learnership completed

• Path to machine operator after six months
• Night-shift allowance on top of basic pay
• Company transport on some night shifts

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