ABOUT THE ATTENDANT POSITION
The Attendant position plays an important role in supporting the daily operations of the Powder Tower Factory. The successful candidates will be responsible for assisting with downstream production activities, particularly the operation and monitoring of packaging equipment.
Downstream operations are essential to ensuring that products move efficiently from the manufacturing stage through the packaging process. Employees working in this environment must pay close attention to equipment performance, product quality, packaging standards and general workplace conditions. The appointed Attendants will be expected to prepare machinery for operation, monitor production activities, identify operational problems and take appropriate action within their authorised responsibilities.

Employees must follow established manufacturing procedures and ensure that all activities comply with food safety, environmental, health and safety requirements. This position requires individuals who can work accurately, follow instructions and remain focused while performing routine production activities. Since factory operations may run beyond normal working hours, successful applicants must also be comfortable working rotating shifts, weekends and public holidays.
KEY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Successful candidates will perform several operational duties to support production efficiency, equipment reliability and product quality.
1. Operating Packaging Equipment
Attendants will be responsible for preparing, starting, operating, monitoring and shutting down packaging equipment within their authorised scope of responsibility. Before production begins, employees must ensure that the relevant equipment and working areas are properly prepared. Machinery must be operated according to established procedures to support consistent production output. During operations, employees must observe equipment performance and respond appropriately to any irregularities.
2. Monitoring Production Processes
The appointed employees will continuously monitor important production parameters to ensure that machinery operates within the required operating conditions. This involves checking equipment performance, identifying unusual operating conditions and addressing problems within the limits of their training and authority. Any serious technical issues or problems requiring specialised attention must be reported through the appropriate maintenance or supervisory channels.
3. Recording Production Information
Accurate production records are necessary for monitoring factory performance and maintaining operational accountability. Attendants will be required to capture relevant production information on designated control sheets. These records must be completed carefully and accurately to provide information about production activities, equipment performance and operational conditions.
4. Conducting Packaging Quality Checks
Maintaining packaging quality is an important responsibility of this position. Employees will be expected to collect samples and conduct the required packaging quality tests in accordance with established procedures. Any packaging defects or irregularities identified during inspections must be addressed or reported through the appropriate channels. The purpose is to help ensure that packaged products meet the company’s quality requirements before moving to the next stage of production.
5. Supporting Maintenance Activities
Attendants will assist with preparing production areas and equipment for scheduled or unscheduled maintenance activities. This includes making the work area available to maintenance personnel and ensuring that the area is properly reinstated once maintenance has been completed.
Where non-scheduled maintenance is required, employees will be responsible for issuing the relevant job cards according to established procedures. They must also complete daily and weekly production maintenance schedules to support equipment reliability and proper maintenance planning.
6. Maintaining Workplace Cleanliness
A clean production environment is essential in food manufacturing. Employees must ensure that downstream production areas remain clean and organised throughout their shifts. This includes following established cleaning procedures and maintaining acceptable housekeeping standards around machinery and packaging equipment. Good manufacturing practices must be observed to reduce contamination risks and support food safety.
7. Following Health, Safety and Environmental Standards
Attendants must perform their duties in accordance with workplace health, safety and environmental requirements. Employees are expected to follow safety procedures, use equipment responsibly and avoid practices that could place themselves or other workers at risk. Any unsafe conditions, potential hazards or incidents must be reported through the appropriate workplace channels.
