Job Description
Dexterra Group is a well-established company with a history spanning over 75 years, known for its commitment to supporting infrastructure and built assets that are critical to communities and industries alike. The group brings together companies that initially operated independently, uniting to deliver exceptional service and solutions that help clients maximize performance and productivity. They are distinguished by their dedication to employing passionate professionals who possess the right skills and regional expertise, enabling clients to confidently and successfully operate their daily activities. This robust foundation makes Dexterra Group a trusted partner in workforce accommodations and related services, emphasizing quality and operational excellence across their offerings.
The role of Baker at Dexterra is a pivotal position within the company’s workforce accommodations facility. This position entails full accountability for the bakery operations that serve a significant number of guests, initially around 500 per day, with the expectation to scale up rapidly to over 4,000 guests daily. The Baker is responsible for hands-on leadership in production, focusing on delivering consistent quality, adhering to food safety standards, and ensuring that sufficient baked goods are available to support meal services effectively. This is a specialized role that requires not only baking expertise but also supervisory skills, as the Baker oversees the night-shift bakery staff, providing mentorship and training to support operational excellence.
The Baker’s duties go beyond production to include managing quality control, food safety compliance, and optimizing bakery processes to meet the increasing demands of the facility. Reporting to the Executive Chef or their delegate, the role involves close collaboration with culinary leadership to synchronize bakery outputs with service volumes and guest demands. The position demands strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work in a high-volume, fast-paced environment while maintaining product consistency and safety standards. It also incorporates responsibilities such as restocking, inventory control, equipment sanitation, and adhering strictly to FOODSAFE and HACCP principles.
This opportunity is ideal for experienced bakers with a culinary education or designation in baking who have a proven track record in large-scale, high-volume settings such as hotels, institutions, or camps. The role requires a professional who thrives under challenging production demands and is committed to quality and operational improvements. Dexterra’s commitment to equal opportunity employment ensures a diverse and inclusive workplace for all team members.
