About the General Worker Casual Pool
Elgin Poultry Abattoir is looking for motivated and reliable people to support its poultry processing operations in Grabouw.
The advert describes this as a General Worker Casual Pool, which means applicants should carefully note that selection may depend on the company’s operational staffing requirements.
The work is primarily within a poultry abattoir and food-production environment, so candidates should be comfortable performing practical production duties while following strict hygiene, quality and food-safety requirements.
Minimum Requirements
Applicants must meet the following requirements:
Minimum Grade 12 qualification
South African Identity Document
Be 18 years of age or older
Have a valid bank account
Good timekeeping and attendance
Able to communicate and follow instructions in English or Afrikaans
Honest, reliable and trustworthy
Maintain good personal hygiene
Willing to comply with food-safety requirements
Available to start work immediately
The vacancy information provided does not list previous work experience as a compulsory minimum requirement.
General Worker Duties
General Workers may be assigned to different sections of the poultry production operation.
Depending on departmental requirements, duties may include processing and packaging free-range poultry products, dressing and trimming products, cutting poultry into portions, deboning and filleting, and preparing raw materials.
Workers may also assist with issuing raw and packaging materials for production, weighing and grading products, cleaning and packaging poultry products and performing other duties assigned by management.
Food Safety and Hygiene
Because the position involves poultry and food production, maintaining high hygiene standards is an important part of the job.
General Workers must follow the company’s food-safety, hygiene and quality requirements and immediately report food-safety concerns to their supervisor.
Candidates should therefore be comfortable working in an environment where cleanliness, procedures and attention to detail are important.
What Elgin Free Range Chickens Is Looking For
Suitable candidates should demonstrate a strong work ethic, positive attitude, attention to detail and willingness to learn.
Applicants should also be able to work effectively as part of a team and cope with a fast-paced production environment.
Reliability and punctuality are particularly important because production operations depend on workers being available for their assigned shifts.
Do You Need Experience?
The vacancy information does not specify previous experience as a minimum requirement.
The key requirements include Grade 12, being at least 18 years old, having the required identification and bank account, being able to communicate effectively, and being willing to start immediately.
This could therefore be worth considering for job seekers looking to enter the food-production or general-worker environment.

Applications are being accepted online through the PNet vacancy listing.
