  • Ordering and managing ingredients for the bread section
  • Training and supervising junior bakers and apprentices
  • Maintaining exceptional food safety and cleanliness standards
  • Developing seasonal products and exciting new breads

About You You will be a qualified baker or highly experienced commercial baker who:

  • Has strong experience producing sourdough at commercial volumes
  • Understands long fermentation, starter management and dough development
  • Takes genuine pride in quality and consistency
  • Can confidently manage production schedules and early starts
  • Is organised, reliable and comfortable leading others
  • Enjoys training and developing junior team members
  • Wants ownership of a section and the freedom to improve the range

What’s on Offer

  • $80,000–$90,000 + super, based on experience
  • Full-time, permanent employment
  • Stable, year-round work
  • Genuine ownership of the sourdough program
  • A modern and growing regional food operation serving approximately 5,000 customers each week
  • Creative input into new and seasonal products
  • Supportive bakery, kitchen and management teams
  • Relocation assistance may be available
  • Visa sponsorship may be considered for a suitably qualified and experienced candidate

If you’re passionate about traditional bread making and ready to lead your own sourdough section within an exciting regional food business, we would love to hear from you.
