Full-Time Baker — Growth & Leadership Opportunity
The Pie Hole is a locally owned and operated bakery and café known for our award-winning pies and one of the largest selections of pie flavours in Vancouver.
Everything we make is prepared by hand, from scratch, using high-quality ingredients. We take a lot of pride in what leaves our kitchen, and just as importantly, we believe in building a strong, supportive team behind it.
We are currently looking for an experienced full-time baker to join our production team at our Burnaby/New Westminster location.
This role has room to grow
We are especially interested in finding someone who is looking for more than just their next baking job. For the right person, there is an opportunity to take on increasing responsibility and potentially grow into a leadership or bakery management role as they become familiar with our production, systems and team.
If you are organized, dependable, confident in a busy kitchen and naturally find yourself helping keep a team and production day on track, we would love to meet you.
What You’ll Be Doing
Our bakery produces a large variety of sweet and savoury pies from scratch every day. Responsibilities will include:
- Preparing and cooking large batches of sweet and savoury pie fillings
- Mixing, measuring and weighing ingredients
- Prepping, rolling, cutting and fluting pie dough
- Assembling, baking and decorating pies
- Following recipes and maintaining consistent product quality
- Safely cooling, storing and handling food
- Packaging finished products
- Organizing and completing daily orders and transfers to our bakery locations
- Monitoring ingredient and packaging inventory
- Communicating when supplies need to be ordered
- Cleaning and maintaining bakery equipment, workstations and dishes
- Following food safety and sanitation procedures at all times
- Working collaboratively with the production team to keep the day organized and on schedule
Who We’re Looking For
- Minimum 1 year of professional baking or commercial kitchen experience
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced production environment
- Strong attention to detail and consistency
- Organized and able to manage multiple tasks
- Dependable and punctual
- Comfortable taking initiative and problem-solving
- Positive, team-oriented attitude
- Strong communication skills
- Interest in learning and taking on additional responsibility
Previous experience as a lead baker, shift lead, supervisor or kitchen manager is an asset, but not required. We are equally interested in someone who has the right experience and attitude and is ready to take the next step in their career.
What We Offer
- Full-time hours
- Starting wage based on experience
- Tips
- Health and medical benefits
- 40% employee discount on ordered pies
- Discounted/free food
- Casual dress
- On-site parking
- Opportunity for advancement and increased responsibility
- The chance to grow with an established local bakery
Interested?
Please send us your resume along with a short cover letter telling us a little about yourself, your baking experience, and why you would love to make pie with us.
