Key Responsibilities
- Ingredient Scaling & Prep: Accurately measure, weigh, and scale raw ingredients according to established formulas and precise recipes.
- Batch Mixing: Safely operate large industrial commercial mixers, vertical blenders, and attachments to produce high-quality doughs and batters.
- Quality Control: Monitor dough consistency, mixing times, and temperatures to ensure every batch meets our exact quality standards before it moves to the baking line.
- Sanitation & Cleanliness: Maintain a spotless, allergen-safe mixing station. Wash, clean, and sanitize commercial mixing bowls, hooks, hoppers, and utensils according to strict food safety guidelines.
- Dough Handling: Safely transfer mixed dough and batters from mixing bowls into production hoppers, troughs, or staging areas.
