This key role demands someone who can inspect machinery daily, recognize repair needs and communicate effectively with management to maintain smooth bakery operations.

In addition to the baking process, the baker plays an important role in daily cleaning routines, including the sanitation of machinery at the end of each day to maintain hygiene standards and ensure the safety of both employees and customers.

Additionally, the baker will collaborate in receiving and fulfilling special customer orders accurately to uphold the bakery’s superior customer service standard.

Safety is a core component of this role, including strict adherence to health protocols like wearing the proper headwear (such as hats or hairnets), frequent and thorough handwashing, and compliance with all regulations to ensure a safe working environment. The role also involves maintaining a tidy workspace by sweeping and managing waste disposal properly. The baker will be required to retrieve products from various storage areas, including bakery coolers, proofing stations, and ovens, sometimes reaching above shoulder level or climbing ladders.
