Cochrane AB TC A, Canada Fence & Post Full time $55,000 - $88,000 per year

About Us

Fence & Post is a small, independent casual fine dining restaurant in Cochrane, Alberta, known for our uncompromising commitment to quality and from-scratch cooking. Our pastry and baking program is central to what we do—we make everything in-house, including sourdough bread, artisan bonbons, ice cream, and elegant à la carte desserts. We proudly source local ingredients whenever possible and maintain a creative, supportive, and growth-oriented kitchen culture.

Position: Pastry Cook / Baker (Part-Time)

We're looking for a passionate, experienced, and self-motivated pastry cook or baker to join our kitchen team. This is not an entry-level role. You must have solid baking experience and be able to work autonomously—often as the only person in the pastry kitchen during early prep hours.

This role requires the ability to:

  • Bake sourdough and other breads from scratch
  • Produce consistent, high-quality macarons
  • Temper chocolate for bonbons and confections

If you are not confident in these areas, this position will not be a fit.

This position starts early in the morning, making it ideal for someone who enjoys focused, independent prep work. We are open to both full-time and part-time applicants.

Key Responsibilities

  • Bake fresh sourdough and other breads from scratch daily
  • Prepare and churn house-made ice creams and sorbets
  • Craft seasonal and refined à la carte desserts for service
  • Produce artisan bonbons, macarons, and other confections
  • Set up and maintain an organized pastry station
  • Ensure high-quality plating and consistency during service
  • Maintain sanitation and cleanliness standards at all times
  • Monitor ingredient quality and assist with pastry inventory and ordering
  • Collaborate with the culinary team on seasonal dessert development

What We Offer

  • Competitive wage
  • Above-average tip-out
  • Free staff meal every shift
  • A strong culture of learning, mentorship, and support
  • Discounts on food and drink
  • Opportunities to grow your skills in a professional, from-scratch kitchen
  • Flexible scheduling for either full-time or part-time availability

Requirements

  • Professional baking and pastry experience is required
  • Must be able to bake bread, make macarons, and temper chocolate with consistency
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
  • Strong understanding of ingredients, techniques, and kitchen safety
  • Attention to detail and a high standard of cleanliness
  • Team player with good communication skills
  • Excellent physical stamina and time management
  • Availability for early morning shifts

If you're passionate about pastry and baking and want to be part of a team that values craftsmanship, creativity, and seasonality, we'd love to hear from you.
