Baker – Costco – Scarborough, ON

Costco’s busy bakery department at 1411 Warden Avenue in Scarborough, Ontario is looking for an experienced Baker to join their team. This is a hands-on, high-volume production role where precision, consistency, and food safety are at the forefront of every shift.

If you’re comfortable working with industrial baking equipment, following strict formulas, and keeping pace in a fast-moving warehouse bakery environment, this could be a solid fit. The role covers everything from mixing batters and shaping dough to monitoring ovens and maintaining sanitation standards throughout the day.

About the Role: Baker

As a Baker at Costco Scarborough, you’ll be responsible for preparing and baking a high volume of bakery products using Costco’s established formulas. That means measuring and combining large quantities of ingredients, operating heavy-duty equipment like power mixers, dough rollers, muffin depositors, and crust machines, and ensuring every product meets the brand’s quality and consistency standards.

Beyond the hands-on baking work, you’ll be expected to follow all health code requirements, adhere to department production procedures, and contribute to a safe and sanitary workspace. Member service is also part of the job — a friendly, professional attitude goes a long way in a Costco warehouse setting.

This position pays $21.00 per hour. Costco is well known for offering competitive compensation and a strong benefits package to its employees, which typically includes health and dental coverage, performance bonuses, and employee discounts — details of which will be discussed during the hiring process.

Responsibilities

A typical day in this role keeps you active and focused on production quality. From the moment you start your shift, you’ll be measuring, mixing, baking, and monitoring — all while keeping your work area clean and compliant with food safety standards. Here’s a closer look at what the role involves:

• Assemble and measure large quantities of ingredients according to Costco’s proprietary baking formulas, using a calculator to adjust for alternate yields
• Operate power equipment including dough rollers, muffin depositors, crust machines, and automated dough machines to prepare bakery products
