Sodexo is currently seeking a part-time Baker to join their team at Champlain College. This role offers an hourly wage of $20 and requires open availability to work any shift, which will be confirmed during the interview process. Working at Sodexo means being part of an organization that values purpose-driven work and the opportunity to thrive. The company emphasizes a culture where employees are treated fairly and respectfully, and their ideas and opinions are encouraged and valued.

As a Baker at Sodexo, your primary responsibility will be to prepare a wide variety of baked goods, including breads, rolls, muffins, biscuits, cakes, and pastries that meet the company’s high culinary standards. You will follow specific recipes and production schedules to ensure consistency and quality in every product. The role involves accurately measuring ingredients, mixing doughs and batters either by hand or using mixers, shaping and cutting dough, and baking items to perfection. You will also regulate oven temperatures, monitor baking times, and ensure all baked products are prepared and served at the correct temperatures.

In addition to production duties, maintaining a clean and organized bake shop area is essential. This includes proper storage, rotation, labeling, and dating of all bakery products. Attention to detail is critical as you accommodate special requests and strive to ensure that only high-quality baked items leave the kitchen. Physical stamina is required, as the job demands significant walking or mobility, extensive use of hands and arms, and the capability to stand or walk for extended periods, sometimes exceeding eight hours. You will also need to frequently lift items up to 35 pounds and occasionally up to 50 pounds.

Sodexo values employees who are punctual and reliable, showing up on time and ready to contribute each scheduled shift. While this position offers a foundational opportunity in baking, specialists in bakery or pastry roles are encouraged to apply to bring their skills and expertise to the team. The company fosters a supportive environment where ongoing training and development are available, allowing for career advancement.

Sodexo also offers a comprehensive benefits package that supports the wellbeing of its employees and their families. Benefits include paid time off, holidays, medical, dental, and vision insurance, tuition reimbursement, 401k plans, discount programs, and more. Additional site-specific benefits may include free meals or meal allowances, uniforms, safety shoes, public transportation support, or parking. Sodexo's inclusive culture promotes equity and respect, ensuring that all employees feel valued and included regardless of their background or identity.
