Pinjarra Bakery | Bibra Lake, WA | Full-Time Permanent

Lead the Team Behind Some of WA's Favourite Pies

We've been rolling dough and baking award-winning pies for nearly 30 years.

What started as a small bakery in Pinjarra has grown into one of Western Australia's most recognised food brands, supplying our bakery stores, wholesale customers and franchise partners across the State.

We're proud of how far we've come, but we're even more excited about what's next.

With new production lines being commissioned and continued growth across the business, we're looking for an experienced Production Manager to take ownership of our Bibra Lake manufacturing operation and help us deliver the next stage of our growth.

Reporting directly to the owners, you'll lead production performance across the business – from planning and scheduling through to quality, food safety, preventative maintenance, team leadership and continuous improvement. You'll play a key role in ensuring our products continue to meet the standards we're known for while helping the business scale to meet future demand.

This is an opportunity to join a proudly Western Australian family business at an exciting stage of growth and make a genuine impact on its future success.
