Bread Baker
About this role
Rosemont Market & Bakery
Bread Baker
Rosemont's Bread Bakers are the hands behind our daily bread - mixing, shaping, and baking the seasonal loaves and baked goods our neighbors count on. Working out of our central kitchen, you'll help set the standard for Rosemont's bread program while pitching in on everything else that keeps a bakery running: handling ready-to-eat foods safely, filling orders for our markets, and keeping the workspace clean and organized.
What You'll Do
- Bake efficiently and consistently for high-volume, daily production.
- Portion, package, and label every item to Rosemont's standards.
- Keep your station, equipment, and workspace clean and well-maintained.
- Follow Maine Department of Health and Department of Agriculture rules for hygiene, sanitation, and safe food handling.
- Help track and organize bakery ingredients, product, and supplies - and flag any shortages to your manager right away.
- Pick and pack orders for our markets and stage them for delivery.
- Contribute ideas to seasonal recipe testing and development, rooted in local, sustainable ingredients.
- Keep your manager and team in the loop on production needs, changes, and wins - and flag urgent maintenance issues to your manager, the Facilities Maintenance Engineer, or the Director of Operations.
- Follow the policies in the Employee Handbook, and pitch in on other tasks as needed.
What You Bring
- A love of bread, local food systems, and baking - and curiosity about where it's all headed.
- Strong baking technique and hands-on culinary skill.
- A team-first attitude and a commitment to a safe, respectful, inclusive workplace.
- Reliable transportation.
- Strong time-management skills and the ability to juggle a few things at once.
- English language proficiency.
Education & Experience
- High school diploma or equivalent required; college degree a plus.
- Bakery or culinary experience preferred; professional bread-baking experience a strong plus.
Good to Know
- This is an in-person role based at Rosemont's headquarters, which is not open to the public.
- Hours and shift schedule are set together with your department manager.
- The production and warehouse areas can be loud - expect moderate to loud noise levels throughout a shift.
- You may be asked to attend trainings or earn certifications.
Physical Requirements
- Able to lift 50 lb. cartons or bags.
- Able to bend, twist, squat, and reach throughout a shift.
- Able to stand for the full duration of a shift.

Company at a glance
We are six locally sourced markets conveniently placed throughout Greater Portland that supply fresh and tasty food to a community of loyal customers. In addition to our markets, our “Mothership” headquarters in Portland, Maine is home to our state-of-the-art production kitchen and distribution warehouse.
Inspired by a European-style grocer, our locally sourced markets are a small footprint in the hearts of our communities. Designed to serve customers who enjoy shopping daily, or multiple days a week, to source the freshest ingredients for each of their meals. Our customers build relationships with our employees, allowing for trusted recommendations and meaningful conversations about food.
In addition to serving our communities, Rosemont Market and Bakery is committed to supporting our local food system. Fifteen years ago when we opened our first market on Brighton Avenue, we would walk the rows of the Portland Farmer’s Market and invite farmers to sell us what was left from that day’s haul. Today, many of those farmers remain valuable Rosemont suppliers and some of our closest friends. At present, over 60% of the products in our markets are grown or produced in the state of Maine. Here at Rosemont, we are committed to our role in making local food accessible to our communities.
