Operator Production Spakenburg
You make the difference in our production.
On the production line, you turn dough and filling into cookies, pies, and snacks that will later appear in stores. You set up machines, make adjustments where needed, and together with your colleagues ensure the line runs smoothly. There’s a good chance you’ll come across the products yourself later while grocery shopping.
What's in it for you
What you'll enjoy doing
You have an affinity for technology and enjoy working with machines. Experience in a production environment is a plus, but not required. Motivation to learn the trade and develop yourself is more important.
You like to roll up your sleeves and feel at home on the shop floor. You work accurately and have an eye for quality, ensuring the product is exactly as intended.
You work well in a team and communicate easily with colleagues on the line. Together, you ensure the work continues smoothly and support each other when needed.
You stay calm when things don’t go as planned. In case of a malfunction or change, you think in solutions and take action.
Working according to safety, quality, hygiene, and HACCP standards is second nature to you. You are available full-time and comfortable working in a 3-shift system.
Personality is just as important as experience. You are motivated, eager to learn, and take responsibility for your work.

I’m a true Spakenburger and love working hard. I enjoy passing this mentality on to my colleagues. We have to do it together! It’s really convenient for me that my work is close to home, right here in the same village.

I’ve been working at De Graaf Bakeries for ten years and still enjoy it every day. Every day is different and never boring. In our Order Support team, there’s a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. We even meet up outside of work now and then for a drink or a game night!

Stephan
My name is Stephan and I’ve been working as a baker at De Graaf Bakeries in Spakenburg for over 15 years. I have to say, I really enjoy my job. The great thing about it is that no two days are the same. Every day, I work on something new and contribute to making a variety of products. What makes it even better is the friendly atmosphere and my fantastic colleagues. So, if you see me walking around with a smile on my face, now you know why. Working at De Graaf Bakeries is simply great!
Erwin
When De Graaf Bakeries approached me for the position of Team Leader in the Technical Service, I had already received several other offers and had decided to move to another company. However, I was convinced to come in for an interview. After the introductory meeting, I was given a tour, and what I saw really appealed to me. I thought, “It’s much better here! A friendly atmosphere and great products.”
Bram
The introduction day at de Graaf Bakeries was an amazing experience! I got the chance to explore all aspects of the company, from production to quality control. The highlight was, of course, baking and tasting a delicious filled cookie myself. A fun and flavorful day I’ll never forget!
Inside your role as a
Operator Production Spakenburg
- You start your shift with a team handover. This way you immediately know what’s going on, which products are being made, and what to pay attention to. After that, you prepare your workstation. The raw materials are ready, and your machines are properly set up.
- During your shift, you actively work on the production line. You set up and operate machines and make adjustments where necessary. You monitor the product and check whether it meets the required quality, weight, and appearance. If something deviates, you intervene and adjust.
- During a product changeover, you rebuild the line. You ensure everything is well prepared so the next product can start smoothly. Together with your colleagues, you keep the line running efficiently.
- If the line doesn’t run as it should, you investigate the issue and resolve minor malfunctions yourself. If needed, you coordinate with the technical department. Meanwhile, you remain focused on hygiene, safety, and quality.
- During your shift, you record important data. You check and register weights, take product photos, and monitor production progress. You also note any irregularities, such as deviations or waste, so colleagues are informed and corrective actions can be taken.
- At the end of your shift, you ensure a clear handover so the next team can start properly.
- No day is the same. One day you work on a single product and focus on improving the process. Another day you work on multiple products and need to switch quickly.
