Job Description

Bakery Production Operator | Food Manufacturing

n

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.

n

We're looking for another great person to join our bakery and production team.

n

This isn't a traditional bakery position where you'll spend all day decorating cakes or working at a bench.

n

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.

n

Previous bakery, food manufacturing or machine-operation experience would be highly regarded, but it isn't essential.

n

For the right person, we're happy to train you.

n

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.

n

Come make something good with us.

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.

n

We're looking for another outstanding person to join our bakery and production team.

n

This isn't a traditional bakery position where you'll spend all day decorating cakes or working at a bench.

n

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.

n

Some days you'll be making dough. Other days you may be running our cookie encrusting machine or flow-wrap packaging line.

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.

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.

n

What you'll be doing

n





Depending on the day's production schedule, your role may include:

n

n
- Weighing and preparing ingredients for production
n
- Making commercial batches of cookie dough
n
- Operating industrial mixers and bakery equipment
n
- Operating our cookie encrusting and production machinery
n
- Operating our flow-wrap packaging machine
n
- Monitoring product quality and identifying production issues
n
- Mixing and blending powdered food products
n
- Packing, boxing and labelling finished products
n
- Recording production quantities, wastage and batch information
n
- Preparing stock for storage, wholesale and dispatch
n
- Cleaning and sanitising machinery, equipment and production areas
n
- Following food safety, allergen, hygiene and WHS procedures
n
- Helping the rest of the team keep production moving efficiently
n

n

Full training will be provided across our equipment and production processes.

n

What we're looking for

n

You don't need to be a qualified baker.

n

You do need to be someone who:

n

n
- Turns up reliably and on time
n
- Enjoys practical, hands-on work
n
- Can work efficiently without sacrificing quality
n
- Has strong attention to detail
n
- Is comfortable working around production machinery
n
- Can follow recipes, measurements, processes and instructions accurately
n
- Is happy working both independently and as part of a small team
n
- Can communicate when something doesn't look or feel right
n
- Takes pride in keeping their workspace clean and organised
n
- Is comfortable with repetitive production tasks when required
n
- Is willing to learn different roles rather than staying in one position
n
- Understands that cleaning is an important part of food manufacturing - not an optional job at the end of the day
n

n

Experience in food manufacturing, commercial kitchens, bakeries, production lines, machine operation, packing or warehousing would be a bonus.

n

But attitude, reliability and willingness to learn are just as important to us.

n

Hours & availability





n

This is a casual position with approximately 2-5 weekdays of work available per week, depending on our production requirements.

n

Our typical shifts include:

n

n
- 6:00am - 2:00pm
n
- 8:00am - 4:00pm
n
- Occasional shorter shifts of approximately 4-5 hours
n

n

Start and finish times can vary depending on the production schedule.

n

Because our production requirements change from week to week, this position will suit someone who has good weekday availability and some flexibility around their working days and start times.

n

There is potential for additional hours as our production requirements continue to grow.

n

About our bakery

n

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

n

On a typical cookie production day, one team member may be preparing and mixing dough, another operating our encrusting machinery and another running the finished-product packaging line.

n

The team works together to keep production moving, and you'll gradually be trained across each area.

n

We strongly value cross-training because it gives our team variety, makes everyone more capable and gives people opportunities to develop new skills within the business.

n

What you'll get

n

n
- Casual Award wages based on the applicable classification
n
- Consistent weekday production work
n
- No hospitality-style late nights
n
- Modern commercial bakery and food manufacturing equipment
n
- Full training across multiple areas of production
n
- Variety rather than performing one job every shift
n
- Opportunities to develop machine-operation and food-manufacturing skills
n
- Free onsite parking
n
- Monthly Milky Goodness product allowance
n
- A supportive small-team environment
n
- Opportunities for additional hours and internal development as the business grows
