This is a direct-hire opportunity. The selected candidate will be employed by the client, not Growth HR Solutions. Growth HR Solutions will coordinate the initial recruiting and screening process, and qualified candidates will receive the client's identity before a client interview. This field-based role supports grocery locations across western New York. It combines high-volume cake decorating, bakery production, employee training, merchandising, customer support, and consultative sales. The technician receives a list of locations and independently plans the most effective route, schedule, and order of visits. This is a strong fit for a grocery bakery manager, lead decorator, production decorator, bakery trainer, or supplier-side bakery professional who enjoys teaching people, solving production problems, and taking ownership of a territory. What you will do

• Demonstrate commercial cake-decorating and bakery-production techniques
• Train bakery decorators, clerks, managers, and teams
• Support the correct use of icings, fillings, glazes, mixes, and related bakery products
• Help stores improve consistency, production efficiency, merchandising, product presentation, and product adoption
• Build professional relationships with bakery teams and account leadership
• Organize your own regional route and store-visit schedule
• Complete reports, email communication, and other administrative follow-up
• Respond professionally to changing customer priorities, openings, remodels, and weather conditions
• Identify practical opportunities to strengthen and grow the regional account Travel and schedule The territory is centered around Buffalo and Rochester, with possible travel farther east when needed.

The official position requirements include local driving and overnight or out-of-town stays. The technician plans the route independently and may adjust travel timing to account for winter weather and customer needs. Safety remains the priority. The Indeed posting will use Rochester as the primary location while welcoming qualified candidates based in the Buffalo area. What we are looking for

• At least two years of relevant grocery, commercial bakery, production decorating, or bakery-training experience
• Strong hands-on production cake-decorating skills
• Experience producing consistent bakery items at commercial volume and pace
• Ability to train groups and explain techniques clearly

• Strong organization, self-direction, and schedule ownership
• Experience with merchandising, product adoption, sales support, or bakery leadership
• Basic Microsoft Office, email, and reporting skills
• Valid driver's license and ability to safely operate a company vehicle
• Ability to lift up to 50 pounds and remain on your feet for extended periods, with or without reasonable accommodation
• Willingness to work in active bakery environments, including refrigerated or freezer areas when needed Compensation, travel support, and training Base salary is $45,000 to $50,000 per year, depending on directly relevant experience.

• Company vehicle for assigned field travel
• Company card for business fuel
• Approved hotels, meals, tolls, parking, and other business-travel expenses
• Company-paid short-term disability, long-term disability, and life insurance
