Production Team Member

How ‘bout we skip right ahead to the fudge centre of the ice cream cake? We are biased - but we are pretty sure we are the coolest place to work for, ever. We really do believe in the power of imagination and we really DO love to play with our food. Honestly though, the job is not all sunshine and rainbows - there is some good and not-so-good news.

Let’s get the not-so-good news out of the way first:

- you are going to be surrounded by sweets on a consistent basis. You will need to flex those willpower muscles daily (just keep repeating - I CAN keep my hands out of the cookie jar...and don’t worry because we’ve all failed).
- Review point 1.

Now let’s dive right into the good stuff:

- We are a small (not for long) business, run by husband/wife duo Chris & Kristy. We believe in working hard and playing harder. So, while we expect you to work efficiently and effectively, we also believe stress helps no one. Laughter is the best medicine and we are constantly joking. You must be able to take it and dish it out. Bring your ‘A’ game.
- Forget a gym membership - we got you. Most days you will be on your feet, moving constantly, while also getting some mean muscles and abs from routinely lifting up to 20 kg.
- The work is repetitive at times but be prepared to be constantly laughing, joking and rocking out to some wicked tunes while attacking those monotonous tasks.

Now, let’s talk about the job requirements:

- You understand the importance of things being clean, especially in a giant cookie manufacturing facility and you’re on board to foster a culture of cleanliness of production areas, person and equipment.
- You’re not afraid of hard work. The days can be long and require a variety of hopping from task to task but you don’t get things done half-assed, you get them done right the first time. There will be dishes to do; cleaning checklists to get through; floors to be mopped; packaging to be built...but there will also be soooo many cookies to be made/baked, iced, printed and most importantly, taste tested.
- As we grow, so does our equipment. We’re not talking about little baby mixers, we’re talking about mixers that can fit a small child inside. You’re meticulous when it comes to the safety of operating all equipment. You demonstrate the safe and correct use of all equipment and aren’t afraid to ask questions when you have them
- You are a strong communicator and love being part of a team. You will tackle any task thrown at you. Our team gets it done.
- You are receptive to feedback and are willing to learn and grow in your role.

In short, your job is to work with a team to produce the tastiest products, meet production timeline goals, maintain the cleanliness of the facility and to have fun at work (who wants a job that isn’t fun?).

Our facility is casual, but we do expect professionalism and punctuality. But what we don’t expect is perfection and someone who has mastered all the skills we are asking for to qualify for this job. We expect intelligence, energy, a get it done attitude and a willingness to learn, grow and acquire new skills.

No bakery experience required

If this is a job that gets you so excited you would even do it for free, we would totally accept that offer from you. But if you prefer compensation (and we totally get it...we prefer getting paid as well) this is what we offer:
Full-time (30-40 hours per week): both evening/weekend and daytime positions available. The pay is $16-17.00 per hour

Part-time (16-24 hours per week): both evening/weekend and daytime positions available. The pay is $15-16.00 per hour

We are looking to bring our new team mate(s) on board as soon as possible, but we will spend the necessary time to find the best fit both in abilities and culture. Please send your resume to chris(at)bysweetness(dot)com.

We can’t wait to meet you
