Junior Baking Production Assistant (Entry Level)

Junior Baking Production Assistant (Entry Level)

We're a woman-owned wholesale vegan bakery in St. Petersburg, Florida, and we make large quantities of croissants out of our own commercial kitchen — our own space, our own equipment. We're looking for an entry-level Junior Production Assistant to join our small team. No baking experience required. What we do need: someone reliable who takes pride in their work.

What we actually mean by that:

* You show up on time, every time

* We're a small team — everyone has to pull their weight, no exceptions

* You take pride in what you do, even the repetitive stuff

* How you do one thing is how you do everything — the small things matter

If that doesn't sound like you, this isn't the right role — and that's okay.

If it does, we'd love to hear from you, and there's real room to grow here. Our last Junior Production Assistant was promoted to a managerial role and the idea is to keep promoting from within as we expand.

We also keep a calm, clean, focused shop. Our team works alongside each other but independently — quiet, heads-down. If you've worked in loud, chaotic kitchens before, know that this is different, and you should be comfortable with that pace.

Reliable transportation to our commercial kitchen in St Petersburg is a must.

Responsibilities

* Prepare vegan baked goods according to company recipes, paying strict attention to detail and quality

* Perform repetitive prep and production tasks accurately and consistently

* Ensure all ingredients used are fresh and of the highest quality

* Help ensure that all vegan baking standards are met

* Monitor and maintain baking equipment and tools

* Maintain a clean and sanitary work area

* Assist in other areas of the bakery when needed

* Help maintain accurate inventory of ingredients

* Follow all safety and sanitation procedures

* Work well with others in a quiet, focused environment

Requirements

* No prior baking experience required — willingness to learn is essential

* Must be available mornings 7am–noon

* This role starts during our busiest season, which includes markets and the holidays — full availability through this period is required, and we ask that time off not be planned until next year (of course federal holidays are off, though)

* Reliable transportation to the commercial kitchen in St. Petersburg

* Strong organizational and time management skills

* Strong attention to detail

* Ability to work on your feet for several hours at a time

* Ability to work independently and as part of a team

* Ability to lift up to 50 lbs

* High school diploma or equivalent

Growth Opportunity

This role is an entry point into our growing company. It's expected to grow in both hours and responsibilities over time. Our previous Junior Production Assistant was promoted to a managerial role and we're looking for someone who wants to grow with us the same way.
