02Open positions
Vacancies
Every vacancy is listed with its site, department and closing date. Applications go through the form on this site.
Feedlot
Pen riders check every pen of cattle daily, pull animals that need attention and move them to the hospital pens, and report what they see to the feedlot manager.
Engineering and maintenance
The abattoir's mechanical engineer keeps the slaughter line, deboning plant, refrigeration and rendering equipment running and plans the work that keeps them that way.
Quality assurance
The quality controller checks cuts, packing and labelling in the deboning plant against customer specifications and the food safety system, and records what is found.

Delmas and Springs
The farm at Delmas runs the feedlot, the feed mill and the maize and soya fields. Work there follows the seasons and the daily feeding routine, and most roles are outdoors or in the mill and the workshops.
The abattoir at Springs slaughters, debones, packs and dispatches. Work there runs to a production schedule, much of it in chilled rooms, under the food safety system and the halal supervision described on the certifications pages.
Brits Leathers, the sister tannery at Brits, recruits separately. Enquiries for it can be sent through the same application form and are passed on.
