Libstar is looking for a Multi-Skilled Operator for a permanent position in Cape Town, with a market-related salary. Applications close on 9 November 2026 according to the original advert. This is a hands-on food production role: you will help run the production line and step into various roles across the production area so that production targets are met.
About the company and the work
Libstar is a food producer whose culture, in its own words, is driven by an enduring passion and commitment to quality food, with teams working collectively in an honest, accountable culture. The Multi-Skilled Operator keeps the line running safely and efficiently — from start-up checks and waste control to quality checks, labelling and pallet building — and is expected to train other operators in the various line functions.
Role details
- Handle and discard waste produced in a safe manner and record it on the necessary reports.
- Complete daily production reports and documentation and submit them to Coordinators, accurately and timeously.
- Handle start-up and shut-down duties for the production line at the beginning of each shift.
- Operate the production line effectively to avoid any accidents, and ensure all orders are produced in full at the required efficiency rates.
- Responsible for product integrity, meeting customer specifications and quality checks of all products.
- Ensure good housekeeping standards, and conduct all start-up checks on equipment before use, taking appropriate action where needed.
- Troubleshoot equipment problems in a timely manner to avoid delays and standby time, and notify Coordinators about equipment and production problems and any deviations.
- Maintain waste within the required targets, and ensure job waste is recorded within the production environment.
- Able to train operators, oveners, de-boxers and scalers.
- Understand and use the TransLution deboxing function and the TransLution scaling function.
- Issue the main mix within the production area, ensure the mixer job is closed, and book reworks when required.
- Ensure packaging is issued and returned when not used, that Box and Lug Labels are printed and pallets are built, and that pallets are put in transit when required.
- Comply with Occupational Health and Safety requirements, food safety regulations, allergen control, housekeeping and pest control, and participate in personal hygiene checks.
- Live the brand by living its core values, always striving to do your best.
Requirements
- Grade 12 / NQF Level N4 qualification.
- Thorough understanding of the baking process.
- Thorough understanding of equipment efficiencies.
- Thorough understanding of food safety principles.
Where to find and apply safely
Apply only through the original Careers24 advert linked from this page. The advert reference is 209789. Never pay a fee to apply, and only use the application route shown in the original advert.
Practical tips
Show your baking process knowledge in concrete terms — the line you worked on, the products, and the checks you owned. Mention any experience training other operators and any work with deboxing, scaling or labelling systems, since the role spans several line functions rather than one station.
How the process works
Applications are submitted through the original advert, and the role reports into the production Coordinators.
