Production Baker

4½-Day Week. Every Weekend Off. Always.

Most bakeries ask you to sacrifice your weekends.

We don't.

We're growing quickly and looking for an experienced baker to join our small team. If you take pride in producing quality food, enjoy improving the way things are done, and want to work somewhere you're trusted rather than micromanaged, we'd love to meet you.

The role

You'll help produce our range of premium croquettes and donuts in our Christchurch production kitchen, working alongside a close-knit team that genuinely enjoys what they do.

You don't need to know our products - we'll teach you that.

What we're really looking for is someone with the right attitude.

Someone who cares about quality.

Someone who sees a better way of doing things and speaks up.

Someone who takes ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do.

Someone who would enjoy 5am start each morning.

What You'll Bring

• Minimum of two years previous baking experience, with good understanding of production and baking techniques (will consider commercial food production experience for the right person)
• Pride in producing consistently high-quality products
• A positive, team-first attitude
• The ability to work independently and take ownership of your work
• A willingness to learn, improve and develop new skills
• Confidence to contribute ideas and continuously improve our processes
• Strong attention to hygiene, food safety and quality standards
• The fitness to handle a hands-on, physically active role

Why Join Fresha Foods?

We're a Christchurch-based, family-owned food manufacturer that's been producing premium croquettes and donuts for more than 13 years.

Demand continues to grow, and we're investing in new equipment, new products and the future of the business.

That creates genuine opportunity for someone who wants to grow with us.

You'll be joining a small team where your ideas matter, your work is appreciated, and you're trusted to do your job well.

If you're looking for a role where you can build great products without giving up every weekend, we'd love to hear from you.
