About this position

Lamination Lead — Matilda's

About Matilda's

Matilda's is an artisan bakery and café in Santa Monica. We bake baguettes, croissants, brioche and viennoiserie in a fully open kitchen, in full view of our guests. Lamination is at the heart of what we do, and we hold it to a high standard.

The role

The Lamination Lead owns our laminated doughs, from butter block to finished book and shaped pastries. You will laminate 20+ books a day, plan each day's production to hit the volume requested, and lead and train the people around you with kindness.

What you'll do

  • Laminate 20+ books a day, cleanly and quickly, to Matilda's standard of lamination.
  • Organize the day's production so the volume requested is met.
  • Adjust your process as the dough, the butter, the room temperature and the equipment change.
  • Manage proofing, including running the proofer-retarder.
  • Lead the lamination station and train teammates with patience and kindness.

What we're looking for

  • 2 years of experience with lamination MINIMUM.
  • The ability to laminate cleanly and consistently meet our standard of lamination.
  • Speed: you move quickly through 20+ books a day.
  • Adaptability: you adjust to a new dough, a new butter, the temperature of the environment and new equipment.
  • A solid understanding of proofing, and of how to use a proofer-retarder.
  • Great organizational skills, including planning a day's production around the volume requested.
  • An impeccable work ethic.
  • Great and gentle leadership skills.
  • The ability to train others with kindness.
