Frequently Asked Questions – Bran Weigher Jobs Cape Town
What is bran in bread production and why is it weighed separately? Wheat bran is the outer layer of the wheat kernel — separated during the milling process. In brown bread and high-fibre bread production, bran is added back to the dough at specified quantities to achieve the required fibre content, texture, and nutritional profile. The Bran Weigher accurately measures the correct bran addition for each production batch — ensuring product recipe compliance, consistent product quality, and adherence to the bread’s declared nutritional content. Inaccurate bran weighing affects product quality, food labelling compliance, and potentially consumer safety in high-fibre health claims.
How does this Bran Weigher post differ from the Cooler Corrector post at the same site? Both are permanent General Worker posts at Site 657 BRB Cape Town, closing 25 March 2026, with identical qualification requirements (Grade 12, 2–3 years experience) and working conditions (rotational shifts, nights, weekends). The Cooler Corrector works at the end of the production line — monitoring and correcting bread on the cooling conveyor after baking. The Bran Weigher works earlier in the production process — handling and weighing bran ingredients before or during dough production. Both posts may be applied for simultaneously by candidates who meet the requirements — using separate applications with the correct reference numbers.
Does “rotational shift including night shift” mean I must always work nights? No — rotational shift means the roster cycles between day and night shifts on a scheduled rotation. Some weeks you will be on day shift; other weeks on night shift — with the cycle typically running over a set period (e.g. a two-week or four-week rotation). The specific shift rotation pattern at BRB Cape Town is confirmed during onboarding.
⚠️ How to Apply
Applications close 25 March 2026. Apply separately for each Premier post using the correct reference number.
