We’re Looking For: A Dedicated Bread Baker
We’re excited to welcome an experienced Baker who lives for the smell of fresh bread and the rhythm of an early-morning bake. If you love turning flour, water, salt, and yeast into crusty sourdoughs, soft bun, flaky croissants, and everything in between—this is your dream role. You’ll thrive in our collaborative, upbeat environment while bringing your own steady hands and baking heart to the team.
This is a full-time opportunity (40 hours/week) with very early-morning shifts that let our market customers enjoy the freshest possible bread and pastries. Weekends are essential because that’s when the magic really happens! We offer **competitive pay based on experience** plus **extended health benefits**.
What You’ll Be Doing (and Loving!):
- Mixing, kneading, shaping, and proofing fresh breads and pastries daily for our two locations
- Mastering ovens, proofers, and sheeters to produce consistent, top-quality bakes every time
- Scaling ingredients accurately and paying close attention to every detail (hydration, timing, temperature!)
- Working in a fast-paced environment while hitting production timelines with calm precision
- Keeping your station spotless and organized (we’re proud of our clean kitchen!)
- Collaborating with an awesome team while also shining when working solo during the early quiet hours
- Bringing your experience to help maintain (and maybe even improve!) our bread and pastry standards
- Regularly lifting up to 50+ lbs (because great bread needs a little muscle!)
What You Bring to the Table:
Required:
- 2+ years of professional baking experience (artisan bakery or bread-focused background is a big plus!)
- Strong skills in bread production, dough handling, oven management, and pastry basics
- A sharp eye for detail and commitment to consistently outstanding quality
- Self-motivation plus the ability to rock both independently (especially early mornings) and as part of a team
- Great communication and comfort working with all kinds of personalities
- Hands-on confidence with bakery tools and equipment
- A strong work ethic and pride in maintaining a clean workspace
- Full availability for very early starts (3:00–4:00 AM) and at least one weekend day
Nice-to-Have:
- Experience with sourdough, laminated doughs, and high-volume production
- Extra passion for artisan breads or creative viennoiserie
**Why You’ll Love Working at Yum Bakery:**
- Fun & Supportive Culture: — Join a drama-free, encouraging team that feels like family—with plenty of on-site training to help you succeed
- Great Perks: — Competitive pay + extended health care + paid time off + store discount / free/discounted food
- Room to Grow: — Bring your passion and skills to a team that’s excited to see you shine and advance
Schedule: Full-time, 40 hours/week | Very early starts (4:00 AM Mon–Fri / 3:00 AM Sat–Sun) | At least one weekend day required | Days off rotate (Friday/Saturday or Sunday/Monday)
Location: In person at our production space inside the Calgary Farmers Market (SE) — **reliable personal transportation required** (public transit not available for these hours)
