-either a 5am or 2pm shift start time
-scaling and mixing of bread and viennoisseries doughs
-shaping of bread and viennoisseries
-scoring and baking bread in deck ovens and finishing and baking pastries in convection ovens
-mixing and baking cakes and other pastries
-plating desserts during dinner service
-working closely with co-workers and coordinating space and production schedules in our small bakery

Applicant must be hard-working, a good communicator, ready to take on a full range of responsibilities, and excited about working in a small, artisan bakery with very high standards. Hours will be early morning and the applicant will be expected to plan their personal schedule accordingly.  The position will include mixing, shaping, and baking of bread and viennoisseries, and therefore requires basic professional bread and pastry skills. This is great position for a baker looking to expand their skills, as it offers small production of a large range of products with a high level of responsibility.
