Sonoma Bakery Full Time - Sunday to Thursday 5:00pm to 1:00am

Built from humble beginnings, Sonoma Bakery has grown into one of Australia's most respected artisan bakeries — known for our uncompromising quality, signature sourdough, and the passionate people behind every loaf.

Day-to-day, you'll be managing baking shifts, holding the line on food safety and production standards, working to tight delivery deadlines, and playing a key role in training staff on Sonoma procedures and new product lines.

·       Solid experience across pastry, with some exposure to leading a team

·       A sharp eye for detail and a genuine commitment to quality and presentation

·       The ability to stay calm, organised, and effective in a fast-paced kitchen
