The Role

Baker — Morning & Afternoon Shifts Big Loaf Factory Bakery · Perth, WA · Full time

At Big Loaf, bread is made the slow way. Long ferments. Hand shaping. Real sourdough. We run a serious production kitchen in Perth's artisan scene and we're growing — which means we need bakers who can hold their own and take pride in doing things properly.

If you've been baking but feel like there's a whole dimension of the craft you haven't touched yet — this is where you find it.

We're hiring across two shifts — 2am start and 10am start — and we're open to both experienced senior bakers and solid mid-level bakers who are ready to step up.

What the work looks like

Our workflow runs on cold retard — afternoon shapes, morning bakes. You need to understand fermentation, respect timing, and know what it means when a dough isn't right.

- Mix and bake artisan and specialty breads — sourdough is our foundation

- Follow recipes and production procedures with precision and consistency

- Maintain a clean,



organised kitchen with real food safety discipline

- Work as a reliable part of a shift team — communication matters as much as craft

- Senior bakers: mentor junior team members and contribute to recipe development

What we're looking for

Mid-level baker:

- Solid hands-on experience with artisan bread

- Comfortable with sourdough production

- Reliable, fast-paced, team-first mindset

- Baker qualification or equivalent experience

Senior baker:

- 5+ years in an artisan production environment

- Deep sourdough knowledge — fermentation, shaping, troubleshooting

- Experience leading or mentoring a small team

- Can own a shift independently

What we offer

- Competitive salary, reviewed against your experience and role

- Real growth pathways — we promote from within

- A team that takes bread seriously

- Staff discounts across all Big Loaf venues
