Commercial Kitchen Experience: Minimum 1–2 years of full-time experience in a fast-paced commercial kitchen environment (e.g., pastry, baking, line cook, or production prep).

Full Scheduling Availability: Ability to work a structured, fixed production roster. To ensure a healthy work-life balance, you will have 2 consecutive days off, offering full flexibility and stability for your personal planning.

Physical Stamina: Ability to handle the physical demands of a high-volume production kitchen, including lifting ingredients (up to 15-20kg) and standing for long periods.

Professional Attitude: A proactive, reliable, and coachable mindset with a long-term commitment to the brand.

What We Offer:

Premium Daytime Roster: Exceptional work-life balance with standard daytime production hours, ensuring your evenings and early mornings are always yours. Includes 2 consecutive days off .
