Available Positions
1. General Workers
General Workers may be responsible for supporting day-to-day activities within manufacturing, production, warehouse or operational areas.
Typical duties may include assisting production teams, moving materials, keeping work areas clean and organised, handling products or materials, following workplace procedures and supporting supervisors and other employees with operational tasks.
Applicants should be prepared to work in a fast-paced environment and follow company requirements relating to health, safety, quality and hygiene.
2. Assistant Operators
Assistant Operators support production and manufacturing teams with the operation of equipment and production processes.
Depending on the specific department, responsibilities may include assisting machine operators, preparing materials, monitoring production activities, maintaining cleanliness around equipment, identifying issues and following production and safety procedures.
This type of position can provide applicants with valuable exposure to the FMCG manufacturing environment.
3. Relievers
Relievers provide operational support when employees are absent or when additional assistance is required within a department.
The work may involve supporting different production or operational activities depending on the needs of the site. Applicants should therefore be flexible, willing to learn different duties and able to work effectively as part of a team.
4. Forklift Drivers
Forklift Drivers are responsible for supporting the movement of stock, materials and products within operational or warehouse environments.
Applicants interested in forklift positions should carefully check the specific requirements of the individual vacancy before applying, as forklift-related roles may require additional qualifications, licences or experience depending on the position.
Forklift Drivers are expected to follow workplace safety procedures and operate equipment responsibly.
5. Packaging Assistants
Packaging Assistants support production teams with the packaging of finished products.
Duties may include preparing packaging materials, assisting with packing activities, checking products and packaging, keeping the workstation clean and organised, and following production, quality and food-safety procedures.
Packaging work may require employees to stand for extended periods and work according to production schedules.
Minimum Requirement
The stated minimum educational requirement for these opportunities is:
- Grade 12 / Matric
Applicants should also carefully read the requirements of each individual vacancy before submitting an application. Additional requirements may apply depending on the position, location, department and level of responsibility.
For example, a forklift-related position may have requirements that differ from those of a General Worker or Packaging Assistant position. Applicants should therefore make sure that they meet the requirements listed on the official vacancy before applying.
