Job Description

Caraluzzi's is a family owned and operated group of markets that has been serving the Greater Danbury area since 1949. Known for its commitment to exceptional customer service and innovative growth, Caraluzzi's prides itself on being a trusted local market that values both its customers and employees. With multiple locations across the region, the company continues to adapt and evolve with the changing needs of the community it serves. Caraluzzi's deeply invests in its workforce, viewing employees as its greatest asset, and offers an environment where individuals can either find a part-time job or develop a lifelong career. The company fosters a culture of hard work, innovation, and continuous professional development within a supportive workplace.

We are currently seeking a reliable and motivated Baker to join Caraluzzi's Bakery team for early morning shifts. This role is pivotal in preparing fresh breads, pastries, muffins, and various baked goods each day, all while maintaining the highest standards of quality, food safety, and customer satisfaction. The Baker will work in a fast-paced environment and must take pride in delivering freshly baked products that meet established recipes and stringent quality benchmarks. Early morning availability is essential, as production schedules start as early as 4:00 or 5:00 a.m., including working on weekends and holidays as needed. The ideal candidate will have a strong attention to detail, the ability to handle multiple tasks efficiently, and a commitment to maintaining cleanliness and organization in their work area.

In this role, the Baker will operate bakery equipment safely and efficiently, monitor product consistency and presentation, and assist with stocking and inventory management. Maintaining compliance with food safety standards and promoting a sanitary environment is crucial. The position requires physical stamina to lift and move up to 50 pounds regularly and to stand and move throughout the shift, often working in varying temperatures including freezer environments.

This role offers an excellent opportunity for individuals passionate about baking or those looking to gain experience in a respected and progressive grocery company. Caraluzzi's dedication to employee growth provides a platform for advancement within the bakery department or other areas of the market. Join Caraluzzi's to be part of an industry-leading independent grocer with a culture oriented toward quality, teamwork, and customer service excellence.
