Careers

At Plastic Factory, careers sit close to the work that keeps injection-moulded containers moving through packing rooms, stores and dispatch bays. We hire practical people who can handle line discipline, quality checks and steady teamwork across our Alrode base.

Work That Follows the Packing Line

Most roles here connect directly to how polypropylene and HDPE containers, tubs, lids and tamper seals move through a production floor. The pace changes with mould trials, colour changeovers, pallet counts and customer pack sizes, so attention to detail matters every shift.

People who work well in this setting usually handle routine tasks carefully and spot small faults before they spread. A wrong lid fit, a marked finish or a mixed batch can slow a line, so the work rewards calm habits and clear checks.

Roles We Commonly Hire For

We look for people across production, quality, sales support and dispatch, depending on the needs of the floor and office. Some work is hands on with moulding, packing and stock movement, while other roles deal with product details and client orders.

  • Production operators for moulding and packing support
  • Quality assistants and inspection support
  • Dispatch and warehouse staff
  • Sales support and customer service roles
  • Technical support for mould trials, lid fit and pack size checks

What Day-to-Day Work Usually Demands

Our team works with measured quantities, clean handling and repeatable checks, especially where food-safe materials and pharma or cosmetic pack formats are involved. A person who understands labels, counts, pallet records and basic line discipline will settle in faster.

  • Reading work instructions and following pack counts
  • Keeping work areas tidy and materials sorted
  • Checking lids, seals and tubs for fit and finish
  • Working neatly with moulded stock and secondary packs
  • Noticing faults, scratches or contamination risks early

We also need people who can handle pressure when orders shift, stock moves fast or a trial run needs close watching. The work is practical, but it still needs a careful mind.

Learning the Way Our Containers Are Made

New team members are expected to learn how injection moulding works in a real production environment, from material selection through to finished tubs and lids. That includes understanding how wall thickness, colour, seal fit and stackability can affect packing lines and storage.

Training often covers the basic handling of polypropylene and HDPE products, how tamper seals are checked, and why small differences in mould finish matter to food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic packers. People who ask sensible questions and work with patience usually pick it up well.

How To Put Your CV Forward

If you want to be considered for future openings, send your CV through the enquiry form on our contact page and note the type of work you are looking for. If you have experience in production, dispatch, warehouse control, sales support or quality checking, include that in the message too.

It helps to mention your location, any shift work experience, and the kind of packing or manufacturing environment you know. Keep it clear and practical, because that makes it easier to match your background with the right role.

A Workplace Built Around Steady Standards

Our Alrode base serves packers across Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth and surrounding industrial areas, so the work often links back to real delivery schedules and stock movement. People here need to be dependable, organised and comfortable working with a team that keeps production moving.

If you like work that has measurable output and visible results, there may be a place for you here. The right person will respect the product, the process and the people around them.
