Our deck ovens came from Italy and the Czech Republic. When a part breaks, the replacement can take two months to ship. A new machine can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Either way, the bread still has to go out tomorrow morning. We're looking for the person who figures out how.
Merzbacher's is a wholesale bread bakery in Germantown. You'd own the building and everything in it that has to work: rack and deck ovens, mixers, dividers and rounders, slicers, walk-ins and freezers, the water chiller, the building itself.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Run the preventive maintenance calendar and keep a real log
- Fix what breaks. Rebuild before you replace. Licensed pros handle building electrical, plumbing and HVAC/R, and you get them in fast
- Manage contractors and a yearly facilities budget
- Supervise the two-person overnight cleaning crew
- Handle the daytime side of keeping the delivery trucks running
WHAT WE NEED
You've kept a building or plant running somewhere. Multimeter, mechanical and plumbing repairs, refrigeration basics, can find a part by its numbers. Driver's license and a reliable vehicle. Forklift a plus. Skills matter more than bakery experience.
PAY AND SCHEDULE
Full-time, Tuesday-Saturday, on call for emergencies. $30-36/hr depending on experience, overtime over 40. Medical (75% paid), dental and vision (100% paid), paid vacation and sick time, 401(k).
TO APPLY
Email your resume and tell us in a few sentences about a repair you're proud of, especially one where buying new wasn't an option. That tells us more than a resume does.
