For over a century, Ferguson Plarre Bakehouse has been creating food for people to fall in love with. Our brands exist to make people smile and we delight in serving up little moments of joy for all the family.

Remember, a way to someone’s heart is through their stomach (not really but you know what we mean)!

We have a team of hundreds of people covering every aspect of our business. Whether it’s at our bakery crafting our products, in our stores or at head office, each and every one of our people are part of our Plarre Foods family.

Importantly, we are committed to leaving this world as we found it and we always have future generations front of mind. Having built a world-class sustainable baking facility and made significant reductions in our overall environmental impact, our challenge now is to maintain this energy and drive to identify further opportunities to improve.

Our bakehouse is growing, and we now have an opportunity for a Maintenance Fitter to join our team of pie-loving individuals in Keilor Park, VIC and be part of baking history. As an integral member of the Ferguson Plarre Bakehouses Keilor Park maintenance team, the Maintenance Fitter will make a strong contribution to a high performing Operations team and team culture within our Keilor Park Manufacturing Site.
