Join Our Growing Team at Fresh Baguette!

We’re looking for a hands-on Bakery Production Supervisor to lead and work alongside our team in our Germantown commissary bakery. This is not an office or purely operational role—you’ll be on the production floor shaping dough, supervising baking, and ensuring every product meets our high standards.

About The Work Environment

Our commissary bakery is a large-scale, industrial production setting with:

• Industrial machinery and loud noise from mixers, sheeters, and ovens
• Hot and cold temperatures from ovens, proofers, and walk-in refrigerators
• A clean, production-focused environment designed for efficiency and high-volume baking

If you thrive in fast-paced, hands-on production environments, this is the perfect role for you.

What You’Ll Do

• Lead and work side-by-side with a team of 10+ bakers in daily production
• Perform hands-on baking tasks, including:
• Foster a positive, supportive team environment where bakers feel empowered to excel
• Guide the team, resolve issues, and maintain steady production flow to meet quality and deadlines
• Train and coach team members on techniques, safety, and efficiency
• Monitor workflow and implement continuous improvements in production
• Ensure a safe, clean, and professional work environment
• Maintain a fast-paced production rhythm—producing hundreds of products daily
• Mixing doughs and batters
• Sheeting and laminating dough
• Shaping and proofing breads and pastries
• Baking and finishing products to Fresh Baguette standards

What You’Ll Need

• 1+ years as a Sous-Chef Baker, supervising a bakery or production team (10+ employees)
• Baking Expertise: 1+ years of experience in a commissary bakery, large-scale production kitchen, or similar setting. Experience with industrial baking machinery is a plus.
• Bread & Pastry Knowledge: Strong understanding of bread mixing, fermentation, shaping, and baking, as well as pastry and culinary fundamentals.
• Artisan Baking Experience: 1+ years of experience in artisan bread baking, French baking, or Viennese preferred
• Comfort with physical work: lifting, bending, and standing for long periods, working in hot and cold environments with loud machinery
• Education: High school diploma or equivalent required; culinary training or Associate degree in Baking/Pastry Arts preferred
• Full open availability, including early mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays as required

Additional Requirements

• Reliable transportation to work
• Authorized to work in the U.S.
• Proficiency in English
• Ability to work with computers and technology efficiently
• Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills
• Physical stamina and dexterity to work in demanding environments such as lifting 75lbs+, reaching, bending, standing for 8+ hours, etc.

Why Join Fresh Baguette?
