Job Description

Here in Richards Bay, an industrial bakery needs steady people who can repeat a task well for eight hours. If you like clear targets and knowing where you stand, this is for you.

  • Pack finished product into cases and stack them by batch number
  • Clean down machines and floors at the end of each run
  • Move full bins and crates to the next station with a trolley
  • Change over packaging film and labels when the line switches product
  • Follow lock-out procedures when helping with cleaning inside machines

You'll need

  • Able to stand for a full shift in a noisy, warm area
  • You follow hygiene rules without being reminded
  • Available for rotating day and night shifts
  • Basic reading and counting for batch sheets
  • No problem wearing full PPE, including ear protection

Extra points for

  • Some basic first-aid training
  • A food handler or basic HACCP awareness certificate

What's in it for you

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