What are the responsibilities and job description for the Batch Mixing Specialist (Food) 3PM-11PM Sunday-Thursday position at Edgars Bakery?
Position Overview
We’re hiring a Batch Mixing Specialist / Production Baker to join our high-volume production team. This role is responsible for mixing large batches of doughs and batters using commercial equipment, with a strong focus on accuracy, consistency, and food safety.
This is not a light-duty bakery role. It’s a fast-paced, physically active position where attention to detail and the ability to follow recipes exactly are critical to success.
Shift Details
- Hours: 3:00 PM – 11:00 PM
- Days: Sunday – Thursday (2 consecutive days off)
What You’ll Do
Mix Large Batches
- Prepare and mix large batches of batters using commercial mixers
- Measure and scale ingredients with precision to ensure consistent results
- Complete batches in timely manner to reduce workflow bottlenecks, keeping pace with production without compromising quality.
Follow Recipes Exactly
- Follow standardized recipes and procedures exactly as written
- Ensure consistency in every batch—texture, yield, and appearance matter
- Catch and communicate any issues immediately
Food Safety & Cleanliness
- Follow all food safety, sanitation, and handling procedures
- Keep your workstation clean, organized, and inspection-ready, cleaning as you go. This position works with eggs, oils, flour, and other ingredients that can quickly turn into a mess if you do not clean as you go.
- Maintain high standards for product quality and safety
Operate Equipment
- Safely operate industrial mixers and production equipment
- Assist with setup, breakdown, and cleaning
- Report equipment issues quickly to avoid downtime
Physical Requirements (Important)
- Regularly lift and move 50 lb bags of flour and ingredients throughout the shift
- Stand and work on your feet for the entire shift
- Perform repetitive lifting, bending, and movement in a fast-paced environment
What We’re Looking For
- Experience in food production, bakery, manufacturing, or kitchen prep is a plus
- Ability to follow detailed instructions and stay consistent under pressure
- Strong work ethic and reliability—this role is critical to daily production
- Comfortable with physical, hands-on work
- Team player who helps keep production running smoothly
Why This Role Stands Out
- Stable, full-time schedule (no guesswork on hours)
- Fast-paced environment that keeps the shift moving
- Skill-building role in high-volume food production
- Opportunity to grow into lead or specialized production roles
If you’re looking for a hands-on, physical job where your work directly impacts production every day, this is a strong opportunity.
