SERIES CONCEPT


Bakers perform or supervise baking duties in a campus bakery; and perform
other related duties as required.

Incumbents typically weigh, sift, measure and mix baking ingredients; add
shortening, yeast, leavening agents, seasoning, water and milk; prepare
ingredients and bake bread, rolls, cookies, pies, cakes, biscuits and puddings;
operate ovens and maintain proper temperature levels; may prepare desserts,
fillings and icings; may prepare special diets for patients in a dietary unit;
and may supervise Assistant Bakers and Food Service Workers in the preparation
of bakery products and in the maintenance of sanitation and safety standards 
in a campus bakery or kitchen.

The series consists of four levels. Assistant Baker is the sub-journeyman 
level; Baker is the journeyman level; Senior Baker is the advanced journeyman 
or working supervisory level; and Principal Baker is the full supervisory  
level.



                          CLASS CONCEPTS


Principal Baker

Under general supervision, incumbents plan and supervise the preparation and
delivery of bakery products and the maintenance of sanitary standards in a
large campus bakery.

Incumbents typically supervise a large group of Senior Bakers, Bakers  and
Assistant Bakers in the preparation of bakery products and in the maintenance
of sanitary standards; maintain quality and/or portion control of bakery
products; supervise the delivery of completed orders; order supplies for the
bakery; may assist in the planning and development of new baked products;
may supervise and/or assist in the preparation of modified diet items in a
hospital dietary operation; and may have the overall responsibility for
scheduling of a group of Senior Bakers, Bakers and Assistant Bakers in a
shift operation.

Positions in this class differ from those in the Senior Baker class in that
incumbents typically have planning, scheduling, supervisory, quality and cost
control responsibility over operations of a campus bakery.

Senior Baker

Under supervision, incumbents supervise a group of Bakers and Assistant
Bakers and perform the more difficult duties in a campus bakery.

Incumbents typically act as working supervisors for groups of Bakers and
Assistant Bakers in the performance of duties outlined in the Series Concept;
train takers and Assistant Bakers; schedule, coordinate and evaluate the
work of Bakers and Assistant Bakers; decorate fancy bakery products; and
may prepare specialized menu items in a hospital dietary.

Positions in this class are distinguished from those in the Baker class by
the greater supervisory responsibility and the performance of more difficult
baking duties.


Baker

Under supervision, incumbents perform journeyman level baking duties as
outlined in the Series Concept.

Incumbents typically train and/or supervise one or more Assistant Bakers in
the performance of baking duties in a campus bakery and perform journeyman
level baking duties.

Positions in the Baker class differ from those in the Assistant Baker class
in that incumbents perform journeyman level duties requiring previous training
or experience in the preparation of bakery products.


Assistant Baker

Under supervision, incumbents perform sub-journeyman level duties in a campus
bakery.

Incumbents typically assist Bakers in the making of bread, rolls, biscuits,
cakes, puddings, pies and desserts; measure and mix ingredients to make
dough and batter; prepare pans to receive dough or batter prior to baking;
and may make fillings, icings and crusts for pies.  Positions in this class
differ from those in the Food Service Worker Series in that incumbents perform
specialized subjourneyman level food preparation duties in a campus bakery.
