About The Position

Rosemont's Bread Bakers are the hands behind our daily bread - mixing, shaping, and baking the seasonal loaves and baked goods our neighbors count on.

• Strong baking technique and hands-on culinary skill.
• A team-first attitude and a commitment to a safe, respectful, inclusive workplace.
• Reliable transportation.
• Strong time-management skills and the ability to juggle a few things at once.
• English language proficiency.
• High school diploma or equivalent required
• Able to lift 50 lb. cartons or bags.
• Able to bend, twist, squat, and reach throughout a shift.
• Able to stand for the full duration of a shift.

Nice To Haves

• college degree a plus.
• Bakery or culinary experience preferred; professional bread-baking experience a strong plus.

Responsibilities

• Bake efficiently and consistently for high-volume, daily production.
• Portion, package, and label every item to Rosemont's standards.
• Keep your station, equipment, and workspace clean and well-maintained.
• Follow Maine Department of Health and Department of Agriculture rules for hygiene, sanitation, and safe food handling.
• Help track and organize bakery ingredients, product, and supplies - and flag any shortages to your manager right away.
• Pick and pack orders for our markets and stage them for delivery.
• Contribute ideas to seasonal recipe testing and development, rooted in local, sustainable ingredients.
• Keep your manager and team in the loop on production needs, changes, and wins - and flag urgent maintenance issues to your manager, the Facilities Maintenance Engineer, or the Director of Operations.
• Follow the policies in the Employee Handbook, and pitch in on other tasks as needed.
