Ready to build a career in bakery innovation — not just take a job?

A privately-owned bakery leader with over 40 years in the game (artisan breads, croissants, bagels, puff pastry — you name it) is hiring an R&D; Technician to join their Puff Pastry Innovation team in North York.

Here's what makes this one different: it's not a standalone technician role. This is a planned succession path. You'll work directly alongside experienced Product Managers, learning the full cycle — formula development, ingredient selection, plant trials, scale-up, and commercialization — with the goal of eventually running your own product category.

What you'll be doing:

✔ Supporting recent croissant and puff pastry products from concept to launch

✔ Getting hands-on with formula development and ingredient functionality

✔ Running plant trials and managing the bench-to-production transition

✔ Working cross-functionally with Production, QA, Procurement, and Project Management





✔ Building the technical and commercial chops to lead a product category down the line

What you bring:

- A diploma or degree in Baking & Pastry Arts, Food Science, or similar
- 2-4 years in product development, R&D;, or commercialization within food manufacturing
- Real, practical baking skills — laminated doughs and croissants especially
- A genuine curiosity about ingredient science and a drive to grow into leadership

What's in it for you: ? Up to $90,000/year (based on experience)

? Comprehensive health & dental

? Paid vacation

? A defined path toward a Product Manager role

If you're the kind of person who wants to build something — not just clock in — this is worth a conversation.
