About Elephants
A locally owned company since 1979, Elephants Delicatessen pioneered the gourmet food industry in the Pacific Northwest and now has six Portland-metro area retail locations and a busy catering company, all serving great local foods prepared from scratch. A certified B Corporation, Elephants Delicatessen prides itself on sustainable practices and voluntarily meets a higher standard of transparency and accountability, using the power of business as a force for good.
About the job
Elephants offers great local foods from scratch every day, and much of that food is prepared (cooked, baked, and packaged) at our SE Portland Central Kitchen. To accomplish this goal, we rely on an exceptional group of food professionals to produce high-quality food products 24/7. We are a speedy team that is constantly evolving to meet the needs of our stores and customers.
We are looking to add another star to our team in the Dessert department of our Bakery!
Desserts are your passion! You love the exacting science of baking- weighing ingredients, mixing, and portioning… the smell of a rising cake! You love to find that workflow, but also spend your days in a fun, friendly environment!
You’ll be using “baker-math” to weigh and measure ingredients with the utmost accuracy and attention to detail. You’ll use machinery such as mixers, ovens, and stoves. Post-production, you’ll slice, cut, and store the orders from our 8 deli locations. You’ll assemble the store’s order and get it to the trucks on time for delivery.
We seek a baker who can troubleshoot quick solutions and get our product where it needs to be on time. You’re a tidy cook who always has an eye on the clock.
We are looking for a charismatic individual who loves working closely with a small team of pros. If you take pride in your work every day and love to have fun, we want to meet you! This position does require a food handler's card.
The ideal candidate will have:
- High volume cake and dessert production experience.
- Friendly, upbeat personality and high energy.
- Ability to perform a physically demanding job: lifting up to 50 lbs., bending, twisting, stooping, standing for several hours at a time (with reasonable accommodation)
Elephants Delicatessen is committed to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of diversity and inclusion.
What we offer
- Paid vacation and sick time
- Kaiser Medical coverage with alternative care as a bonus (acupuncture, chiropractic, massage therapy, etc.)
- Dental, FSA (Flexible Spending Accounts), and 401k
- Training that will fast-track your culinary/hospitality career
- Free counseling and financial services
- Opportunities for advancement
- Discounts on our delicious made-from-scratch food
- Pet insurance
- Chance to win employee raffles
- Discounts at Sketchers, Shoes for Crews, Verizon, Sprint, select B Corporations, and many more
- A commitment to inclusion, diversity, community involvement, employee well-being, and environmental protection.
