• Check oven programmes, profiles, and recipe sheets to ensure correct production settings.
• Prepare and manage ingredients using touchscreen systems in line with recipes.
• Monitor products throughout the process, identifying and responding to any deviations from quality standards.
• Adjust machinery as needed to maintain performance and product consistency, reporting any faults promptly.
• Complete and maintain control sheets, ensuring colour and quality standards are consistently met.
• Maintain excellent housekeeping standards across your work area, ensuring cleanliness of both equipment and environment.

The Key Ingredients

• Previous experience in a production or bakery environment is beneficial but not essential (full training provided).
• Good literacy and numeracy skills to follow processes and complete documentation.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment and use initiative when required.
• Comfortable with physical tasks, including lifting up to 15kg.
• Strong awareness of hygiene, safety, and quality standards within a food manufacturing setting.
• Team-focused with a positive attitude and willingness to learn.
