Baker – Costco – Halifax, NS

Costco’s Halifax warehouse on Chain Lake Drive is looking for a skilled Baker to join their high-volume bakery team. If you’ve got hands-on experience in baking and take pride in producing consistent, quality product, this role puts those skills to work every single day in a busy, well-organised warehouse environment.

Working in Costco’s bakery department means operating industrial-grade equipment, following precise formulas, and maintaining strict food safety standards — all while contributing to a team that keeps the shelves stocked and members satisfied.

About the Role: Baker

As a Baker at Costco Halifax, you’ll be responsible for preparing and baking large quantities of bakery product using Costco’s proprietary formulas.

You’ll also transfer raw dough to raising rooms, monitor ovens, and remove finished product to cooling racks at the right moment.

Beyond the baking itself, this position requires a strong commitment to food safety and sanitation standards, including monitoring temperatures, pull dates, and compliance with health codes. You’ll follow department production procedures to ensure quality and consistency in every batch, and you’ll be expected to provide prompt and courteous service to Costco members on the floor.
