• Notify management when cleaning supplies are running low or equipment is not functioning properly

• Assist the production team with basic tasks when dishwashing responsibilities are under control

• Clean as you go and help maintain an organized bakery

• Follow all Co-Dough food safety, sanitation, and workplace standards

• Work efficiently and manage time appropriately in a fast-paced environment

• Assist other team members as needed

• Previous dishwashing, kitchen, bakery, or food-service experience preferred but not required

• Reliable and able to arrive on time and ready to work

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-volume environment

• Able to work independently and stay productive without constant supervision

• Strong attention to cleanliness and organization

• Able to stand for extended periods of time

• Able to bend, reach, lift, and perform repetitive physical tasks throughout the shift

• Able to safely lift up to 50 pounds

• Comfortable working around water, cleaning products, hot equipment, and bakery production

• Weekend and early-morning availability may be required

We need someone who sees what needs to be done and does it. The right person is dependable, efficient, organized, and understands that keeping dishes and equipment moving is essential to keeping the entire bakery running.

This role is a good fit for someone who takes pride in working hard, keeping things clean, and being part of a team.
