The role available at this bakery is for an Overnight / PM Baker who plays a crucial part in the bakery's production cycle. This position is unique in that it combines overnight baking responsibilities with evening production support activities throughout the week. The baker will be tasked with managing overnight baking operations primarily over the weekends, ensuring that baked goods align perfectly with production schedules and quality standards. In addition, the baker contributes to the weekday operations by handling product defrosting and staging tasks that allow for a seamless transition between shifts. This hybrid role allows for a combination of independent night work coupled with team coordination during evening hours earlier in the week.

Scheduled shift options provide flexibility for potential candidates, with one option offering a 4-day workweek and another offering 5 days.

The salary for this position ranges from $18.00 to $20.00 per hour, commensurate with experience and skill level. This competitive pay reflects the importance of the baker’s role in delivering quality products and supporting the production process from start to finish.

As an Overnight / PM Baker, the responsibilities go beyond simply baking. The position requires close monitoring and adjustment of ovens to achieve consistent baking results, adherence to product specifications and quality standards, and careful packaging of finished goods. During the defrost and production support shifts, the baker will be instrumental in preparing frozen bakery products for subsequent baking by pulling, traying, labeling, and organizing items according to production plans. This attention to detail and process consistency ensures that production remains smooth and efficient throughout the week.

Ideal candidates will possess prior bakery or food production experience, with a strong emphasis on attention to detail, accuracy, and the ability to work independently. Organizational skills, reliability, and the capacity to operate efficiently in a fast-paced environment are essential traits for success in this role. Strong communication abilities and a team-oriented mindset will also support effective collaboration with other team members.

The role demands proficiency in time management, equipment operation, and problem-solving, all while maintaining consistent processes and quality standards.
