About the Role

Too Sweet Cakes is looking for an experienced sanitation professional to help keep our bakery production facility clean, safe, and SQF audit-ready every night. This isn't general janitorial work — it's hands-on sanitation in an active food manufacturing environment, and it plays a direct role in the safety and quality of everything we bake.

This role requires prior sanitation experience in a food manufacturing, food production, or bakery setting. General warehouse or custodial experience alone won't meet the bar for this position.

What You'll Do

Facility & Equipment Sanitation

• Clean, scrub, and sanitize floors, walls, drains, and work surfaces throughout the production facility
• Sanitize production equipment, racks, carts, tables, and bakery fixtures per Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOPs)
• Perform routine and deep-cleaning tasks to maintain SQF and GMP compliance
• Safely operate floor scrubbers, hoses, power washers, and approved sanitation chemicals
• Maintain cleanliness in storage areas, docks, refrigeration units, and common areas as assigned
• Flag sanitation, maintenance, or food safety concerns as soon as you spot them

Dishwashing & Tool Sanitation

• Wash, sanitize, and organize dishes, utensils, trays, pans, and small production equipment
• Operate commercial dishwashing equipment and manual wash stations to food safety standards
• Inspect cleaned items before they go back into storage or production
• Keep dishwashing and sanitation areas clean, organized, and stocked

Documentation & Compliance

• Complete sanitation logs and checklists accurately and on time
• Follow SQF, GMP, OSHA, and company food safety policies
• Help keep the facility audit-ready at all times, for internal and external audits alike

Working Conditions

You’ll be working in an active bakery production environment with exposure to water, cleaning chemicals, and temperature changes. PPE (gloves, non-slip footwear) is required. It’s fast-paced work that calls for consistency, precision, and a sharp eye for food safety.

Required

• Prior sanitation experience in a food manufacturing, food production, or bakery environment (mandatory)
• Working knowledge of — or ability to quickly learn — SSOPs, GMPs, and food safety sanitation procedures
• Ability to follow written and verbal safety and sanitation instructions
• Comfort with physically demanding work: standing, bending, lifting, repetitive motion
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs
• Availability for a full-time overnight schedule, including weekends
• Reliable attendance and strong attention to detail

Nice to Have

• Experience in an SQF-certified or audit-regulated food production facility
• Familiarity with SQF, GMPs, or other structured food safety programs
• Food Handler’s Card (or willingness to obtain one before your start date)

• Stable, full-time overnight role at a growing bakery
• Benefits eligibility on the 1st of the month following 60 days of full-time employment
• A direct hand in food safety and product quality
• Team-oriented environment with training and room to grow
