Experienced Pastry Chef

Pastry Chef

Full-time · Minimum 2 years professional pastry experience required

We’re looking for an experienced Pastry Chef to join the team at SALVO Bakehouse. Someone who loves working with pastry, takes pride in consistency and understands that a great bakery is about both creativity and solid daily production. You’ll be involved in everything from pastry prep and cookies to the pass and finishing products for service.

What the role looks like:

• Preparing pastries, cakes, creams, fillings and other daily production
• Working with brioche, laminated doughs and different pastry preparations
• Preparing and producing our cookies
• Keeping the pass stocked, organized and consistent throughout service
• Finishing and presenting products to SALVO standards
• Following recipes accurately and maintaining consistent quality every day
• Keeping your station clean, organized and ready for service
• Communicating closely with the Front of House team during the day
• Following up on new plated ideas and products developed by the Head Chef
• Translating new ideas into consistent daily production and execution
• Helping wherever needed to keep the bakery running smoothly

No two days are exactly the same. We’re looking for someone who enjoys the creative side of pastry, but also understands that organization, repetition and consistency are a big part of a professional bakery.

What we’re looking for:

We’re looking for someone who can take ownership of their station. Someone who notices when prep is running low, when the pass needs attention or when something isn’t meeting our standard — and takes action without always needing to be asked.

• Minimum 2 years relevant professional pastry experience
• Strong pastry fundamentals and technical knowledge
• Comfortable with both detailed pastry work and higher-volume production
• Clean, organized and detail-oriented
• Able to work independently and take responsibility
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
• Good communication with both kitchen and Front of House
• Reliable and consistent
• Positive and team-focused
• Able to stay calm and maintain quality during busy service

Why SALVO?

We’re building a neighbourhood bakery that people genuinely love visiting. Our menu combines strong pastry fundamentals with generous flavours, seasonal specials and new ideas.

We’re constantly developing what we do, so this role gives you the opportunity to work closely with the Head Chef, learn new techniques and help turn new ideas into products that can be executed consistently every day.

We’re looking for someone who wants to contribute, take ownership and grow alongside the team as SALVO continues to evolve.
