Bakery Wrapper – Costco – Markham, ON
Location: Ontario | Company: Costco Wholesale
Costco’s Markham warehouse at 65 Kirkham Drive is looking for a Bakery Wrapper to join their in-store bakery team. This hands-on role is perfect for someone who takes pride in food presentation, moves at a steady pace, and understands the importance of food safety and quality standards in a retail environment.
Day to day, you’ll be working directly with fresh-baked goods — garnishing, wrapping, labelling, and stocking bakery products while keeping the sales floor well-presented and fully stocked. If you enjoy working in a structured production setting and interacting with members, this role offers both.
About the Role: Bakery Wrapper
As a Bakery Wrapper, your primary focus is ensuring Costco’s baked goods reach members in perfect condition. You’ll remove products from baking containers, apply finishing touches such as icing, glaze, or other garnishes according to Costco’s formulas, then wrap and package items either by hand or using a wrapping machine. Cardboard box assembly, weighing, and labelling are also part of the core workflow.
Beyond packaging, you’ll monitor the bakery sales floor, restock as needed, rotate stock, and keep an eye on pull dates — all while maintaining compliance with health code regulations and Costco’s safety and security procedures. Keeping your workspace clean and organized is a daily expectation.
Benefits and Salary
This position offers a pay rate of $20.00 per hour. Costco is well known in Canada for offering competitive compensation packages that include benefits for eligible employees. Specific benefits details would be discussed during the hiring process.
