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.

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
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.

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 solid 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
n
n
A little about Milky Goodness
n
Milky Goodness is an Australian-owned brand supporting mothers throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding.
n

n
We're proud of what leaves our production floor, and we're looking for someone who wants to take pride in it with us.
