Bakery Production Operator | Food Manufacturing
Milky Goodness is a growing Australian-owned food manufacturing and breastfeeding support brand, producing our range from our own bakery and production facility in Mulgrave, Western Sydney.
We're looking for another great person to join our bakery and production team.
This isn't a traditional bakery position where you'll spend all day decorating cakes or working at a bench.
We deliberately rotate our team through different areas of production so everyone becomes confident across the bakery, keeps learning and isn't doing the same job every day.
Previous bakery, food manufacturing or machine-operation experience would be highly regarded, but it isn't essential.
For the right person, we're happy to train you.
What matters more to us, you're reliable, practical, comfortable working with machinery, willing to learn and genuinely prepared to work as part of a production team.
Come make something good with us.

We're looking for another great person to join our bakery and production team.
This isn't a traditional bakery position where you'll spend all day decorating cakes or working at a bench.
It's a
hands-on food production role
where you'll be trained across different areas of our manufacturing process - from preparing ingredients and making cookie dough, through to operating production machinery, packing finished products and helping manufacture our powdered product ranges.
Some days you'll be making dough. Other days you may be running our cookie encrusting machine or flow-wrap packaging line.

Can work efficiently without sacrificing quality
Has strong attention to detail

Is happy working both independently and as part of a small team
Can communicate when something doesn't look or feel right
Takes pride in keeping their workspace clean and organised
Is comfortable with repetitive production tasks when required
Is willing to learn different roles rather than staying in one position
Understands that cleaning is an important part of food manufacturing - not an optional job at the end of the day
Experience in
food manufacturing, commercial kitchens, bakeries, production lines, machine operation, packing or warehousing
would be a bonus.
But attitude, reliability and willingness to learn are just as important to us.

About our bakery
You'll be joining a small team, not disappearing into a giant factory.

Free onsite parking
Monthly Milky Goodness product allowance
A supportive small-team setting
Opportunities for additional hours and internal development as the business grows
