JOB DESCRIPTIONS What do you want to do at Great Harvest Bread Company? We have two main types of jobs: Production (they make our products) and Customer Service (they sell them). Job experience in any one area, while helpful, is not required. More important to us at Great Harvest Fairbanks is an enthusiasm for bread and an excitement to help our customers. Production Positions Bread Production (sponge and dough) Baking phenomenal bread is what our business is all about. Are you a morning person? Are you the fully-awake happy individual at early hours? Can you get up early (4:00 a.m.), do easy math calculations before dawn, follow directions, stay focused and work quickly and efficiently? Are you deadline and detail oriented? Bread making combines are and science, and you must be able to master both. Not for the faint of heart but a very rewarding job! Sweets Productions Our sweets production people love to bake and take pride in their scones, muffins, cinnamon rolls and cookies. Can you hit the ground running at 4:30 a.m.? Work quickly and efficiently? Clean up after yourself and plan ahead? Then consider this position and help put a smile on your customers faces! Bread kneader When dough hits the kneading table (about 8 a.m.),you go to work. You have to work quickly and efficiently. Kneading dough is an art and is critical to baking phenomenal bread. We ll teach you how to knead the Great Harvest way, but you have to show you are willing to learn and settle for nothing short of perfection. Baker (proofer / oven operator) It sounds simple: you wait until the bread rises, get it into the oven, and take it out when it s done. Ah, but when you are operating a 36-pan oven, juggling five or six different breads, it gets a little bit more complicated. Are you up for the challenge? This position usually starts at 7 a.m. Customer Service Positions Sandwich Production Our menu will start off with cold sandwiches and expand quickly to include breakfast and grilled sandwiches within the first year. You re the one who puts it all together. You ll slice fresh deli meats and cheeses, prepare fresh vegetables, and follow recipes to create delicious spreads. When the lunch crowd hits, you ll create fabulous sandwiches, made to order. You must be able to keep your cool under pressure, work quickly without sacrificing quality, and follow health department guidelines and procedures.
