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

At Big Loaf, bread is made the slow way. Long ferments. Hand shaping. Real sourdough. We run a reliable 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, shape 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.
