Aurland Reisemål Flåm Apply before: 2026-08-22

Are you a skilled and passionate baker who loves crafting high-quality baked goods – and ready to take charge of production in a bakery known for its high standards? Would you like to build strong teams and play a key role in further developing our bakeries in Flåm and Lærdal? Then we’d love to hear from you!

Flåm Artisan bakery is looking for an experienced baker to lead the production team.

About us:

Flåm Bakeri opened in 2016 and has been a fantastic success ever since. Last summer, we moved into brand-new, spacious premises on the waterfront in the heart of Flåm. Our second location, Laksen Bakeri & Kafé in Lærdal, has seen similar growth. Together, we offer a wide range of products, including artisan breads, traditional Norwegian sweet buns, and classic international pastries – as well as local juices, sandwiches, pizza, and barista coffee. We also do daily deliveries of bread and pastry products to Myrkdalen Resort, our hotels in Flåm/Aurland and Sognaporten.

As Head of Bakery Production, you will play a central role in ensuring our bakeries deliver top-quality baked goods every day. You’ll be a key partner to Gro, manager at 3 of our venues, and help drive the development of our production processes, product range, and team culture.

Key responsibilities:

  • Plan and organize the daily production of baked goods across our locations to ensure freshness and quality at all times
  • Actively participate in production while maintaining high standards and efficient workflows
  • Collaborate with the leadership team to develop and adapt our product offerings in line with customer preferences and market trends
  • Follow established food safety and hygiene procedures (IK-mat) and ensure compliance with all health and safety regulations
  • Support administrative tasks such as shift planning and recruitment
  • Foster a positive and inclusive team culture with a focus on motivation, collaboration, and well-being
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of production routines and product development

    Qualifications:

  • Certificate of apprenticeship (fagbrev) as a baker or equivalent experience in food production
  • Several years of experience from an artisan bakery, with solid knowledge of production techniques and quality control
  • Experience with cake baking is a plus
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to lead and inspire a team
  • Driver’s license (Class B)
  • Good English communication skills, both written and verbal
  • Knowledge of Norwegian or another Scandinavian language is an advantage, but not a requirement

We offer:

An exciting position in an ambitious and dynamic company committed to people and community. You’ll join a proud and passionate team within one of Norway’s leading tourism companies, where we encourage both personal and professional growth. At Norway’s Best, we value diversity and inclusion – it’s reflected in our culture. Our employees are encouraged to ask questions, be themselves, and are seen and respected for who they are.

Some of our employee benefits:

  • Competitive employment terms
  • Pension and insurance schemes through Nordea Liv and Gjensidige
