Job Description
The Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation is a tribal community with a rich ancestral heritage dating back many centuries. Historically, the Kumeyaay people lived as a community, engaging in farming, hunting, and fishing to support their way of life. Over time, the Sycuan Tribe has evolved, now governing its federally recognized reservation and operating a range of thriving business ventures. These include a prominent casino and a golf resort located in the scenic San Diego region, as well as additional enterprises that contribute to the local economy and offer employment opportunities for the community and beyond. Sycuan is not simply a business entity but a closely-knit community dedicated to preserving its culture and providing opportunities for its members as well as guests.
Working at Sycuan means being part of a family that values teamwork, respect, and commitment to excellence. This environment ensures that whether you are part of the casino operations, resort hospitality, or the tribal government, you benefit from a supportive workplace culture focused on community and continuous growth.
The available position is for a skilled Baker responsible for creating a variety of bakery items intended for guest consumption across multiple venues within the Sycuan properties. This role is hourly paid and requires person-centric service skills combined with technical baking expertise. The Baker will prepare baked goods by following established recipes and production sheets, ensuring that all products meet the highest quality standards in appearance, taste, and freshness. This position also entails assisting with catering events both on-site and off-site, where baked specialty desserts are prepared and presented. Maintaining cleanliness and sanitation in the bakery workspace according to health and safety guidelines is a fundamental aspect of the role.
The ideal candidate will possess at least one year of baking experience in a high-volume restaurant setting, complemented by essential certifications such as a County of San Diego Food Handler Card and CA ABC Responsible Beverage Service Certification. Additional qualifications like a high school diploma or equivalent and culinary education or experience are preferred. The candidate must be capable of working collaboratively within a team environment, displaying strong communication skills and the ability to perform under pressure while maintaining professionalism. Physical demands of the job require the ability to lift up to 50 pounds, stand or walk for extended periods, and complete repetitive tasks.
Joining Sycuan offers an opportunity to contribute to a vibrant enterprise while embracing the values of community, culture, and hospitality. If you thrive in a dynamic, guest-focused atmosphere and have a passion for baking, Sycuan invites you to become part of their winning team where your skills will be valued and developed.
