Bakery Wrapper – Costco – Halifax, NS

Costco’s Halifax warehouse on Chain Lake Drive is looking for a Bakery Wrapper to join their bakery team. This hands-on role is all about keeping the bakery department running smoothly — from finishing and packaging freshly baked goods to stocking shelves and delivering excellent member service.

If you enjoy working in a fast-paced food production environment and take pride in the quality and presentation of what you put out, this position could be a great fit. The role involves a mix of production tasks, quality control, and customer-facing responsibilities throughout the shift.

About the Role: Bakery Wrapper

As a Bakery Wrapper at Costco Halifax, your primary focus is on preparing and packaging baked goods for the sales floor. You’ll be removing product from baking containers, applying garnishes, drizzling icing, and spraying glazes according to Costco’s production formulas. Products are then wrapped either by hand or with a wrapping machine, assembled into pre-cut cardboard boxes, and properly weighed and labelled before hitting the shelves.

Maintaining quality and consistency is a key part of this job. You’ll be responsible for culling any broken, underweight, or defective goods and ensuring the wrapping and sales areas remain clean and safe. Compliance with health codes, proper stock rotation, and monitoring of pull dates are all part of the daily routine. You’ll also be expected to assist in other areas of the warehouse when needed.
