GET READY TO MAKE SOME DOUGH!

OFFICIALLY INTERVIEWING AND HIRING IN JULY 2024.  COLLECTING APPLICATIONS NOW.

If you want to help create a great neighborhood bakery, contribute to our Michiana community, and be part of a fun team, we are getting ready to hire hard-working, smart, and joyful people. Thanks for your interest in joining us!!!
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 Michiana is an enthusiasm for our products and an excitement to help our customers. It is important to realize that we function as a team, and although you may have one title, we will cross-train our team so you can jump in and help wherever needed.
 

PRODUCTION POSITIONS
Bread Production (sponge & dough)
Baking phenomenal bread is what our business is all about. Can you show up early (4:00 AM); do easy math calculations before dawn, follow directions, stay focused and work quickly and efficiently? Are you deadline and detail oriented? Bread making combines art and science, and you must be able to master both. Not for the faint-hearted, but oh-so-rewarding. 

Goodies Production
Our goodies production people love to bake, and take pride in their scones, muffins, cinnamon rolls and cookies. Can you hit the ground running at 4:00 AM? Work quickly and efficiently, multi-task, clean up after yourself, and plan ahead? Then consider putting a smile on our customers’ faces by baking our phenomenal goodies. 

Bread Kneader
When dough hits the kneading table (approximately 7:00 AM), you go to work. You have to work quickly and efficiently. Kneading dough is an art, more than a science, and is critical to baking phenomenal bread. We’ll teach you what you “knead” to know, but you have to show you are willing to learn and settle for nothing less than near 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; but when you’re operating a 56-pan oven, juggling five or six types of breads, helping with six to seven goodies – it’s not so simple. Are you up for the challenge? This position may also involve kneading and production preparation. This position usually starts at 7:00 AM. 

CUSTOMER SERVICE POSITIONS 
Front counter, Espresso Expert, and MTO
Our customers can buy bread, goodies, coffees, and sandwiches just about anywhere. What entices them into Great Harvest Bread Company (besides phenomenal products)? You! The folks behind our front counter set our store apart from all others. Are you naturally friendly and helpful? Can you keep your cool under pressure and create a WOW experience for every customer that walks into our store? And are you willing to jump in and help where needed? Product knowledge and the ability to educate, and sell to, our customers is important.  A day can consist of greeting customers at our Bread Board, making sandwiches and salads, putting together wonderful espresso drinks, helping out at the kneading table, and providing a great lobby experience.  Our openers show up at 6:30 AM, and our closers will be leaving at 6:30 PM with various shifts in-between.
