Work that supports real production
FoilPress is based in Industria West, Johannesburg, and our team supports clients across City West, Gauteng and beyond. The work is hands-on and often changes from day to day, from fitting a press in Roodepoort to helping a packaging client in Midrand with pressure settings or foil matching. We look for people who take pride in getting the details right, even when the schedule is tight and the workshop is busy.
If you like practical work and you are comfortable around machinery, tools and production deadlines, you may fit in well here. We are a South African business with a strong service focus, so we value clear communication, punctuality and a calm approach when a machine needs attention before a shipment goes out.
Roles we hire for
We do not keep to one type of job only. Depending on the needs of the business, we may look for people with technical, sales, admin or support experience. Some roles are based in the workshop, while others involve visiting clients or handling enquiries by phone and email.
- Technical and service support for press installation, servicing and repairs
- Client-facing sales and product support for presses, foils and spares
- Workshop and production support, including setup and quality checks
- Operations and coordination roles that keep jobs moving on time
- Training and after-sales support for operators and supervisors
What helps you succeed here
We work with card, packaging and foil finishing clients, so attention to detail matters. A small setting change can affect the final result, especially when a customer wants clean edges, even heat and repeatable output across a run. People who do well here usually like working methodically and can spot an issue before it becomes a bigger problem.
- Good fault-finding and practical problem solving
- Clear written and spoken English, plus confidence with clients
- Comfort with workshop routines and safety standards
- Willingness to learn about presses, dies, heaters and setup
- Respect for deadlines, especially in production periods
Training, growth and support
We support learning on the job because good machine work is built through repetition, checking and guidance from experienced people. New team members are shown how we approach installation, pressure setup, die mounting, preventive servicing and other day-to-day tasks. If you are newer to the industry, a strong work ethic and a steady attitude count for a lot.
Our environment suits people who want to build skills over time rather than rush through the basics. There is room to grow into more responsibility if you show consistency, take feedback well and keep your standards high, even during load-shedding days or when a client needs a quick turnaround.
