R&D Baker Tourier Specialist – Salt Lake City, UT (Relocation Required)

Location: Our New Industrial Baking Facility in Salt Lake City, Utah

Craft at Scale. Bring Artisan Baking to a Growing Production Hub

Bridor North America is expanding, and we are seeking an experienced R&D Baker Tourier Specialist to join our team in Salt Lake City, Utah. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking for a fresh professional and personal change—an opportunity to relocate to a lower cost-of-living region while advancing their career in artisan and industrial bakery innovation.

Salt Lake City offers a growing food manufacturing hub, strong quality of life, and the chance to be part of a new facility and team from the ground up.

What You'll Do

• Develop laminated doughs, croissants, Viennese pastries, and artisan breads from concept through full-scale production
• Translate traditional French and Viennese baking techniques into scalable industrial processes
• Lead and support plant trials, scale-ups, and new product launches in a production environment
• Partner closely with Operations, Quality, Purchasing, and Finance to support cost, efficiency, and performance targets
• Conduct tastings, evaluate product performance, and document technical findings
• Stay current on ingredient trends, bakery innovation, and process improvements

What You Bring

• Degree or diploma in Baking, Pastry Arts, or related field
• 5+ years of experience in bakery, R&D, or food manufacturing
• Required hands-on experience with Viennese and French-style pastries in a production or scale-up environment
• Strong expertise in laminated dough systems such as croissants and puff pastry
• Experience working with industrial bakery equipment and production lines
• Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills

Technical Knowledge

• Familiarity with FDA, USDA, and/or CFIA requirements
• Working knowledge of HACCP, GMP, and BRC standards

Details

• Work at our new Industrial Baking Facility in Salt Lake City, Utah
• Relocation to Salt Lake City is required (self-relocation; no relocation assistance provided)
• Day shift with flexibility during trials and product launches
• Travel within the U.S. with occasional travel to Canada

You'll be part of a growing team where artisan craftsmanship and large-scale production come together to build premium bakery products across North America.
