Cleaning Operative

Manufacturing
Ready to roll up your sleeves and be part of something sweet? Whether you’re in one of our bustling standalone factories or a show-stopping theatre store, you’ll be at the heart of the action, helping produce the doughnuts everyone loves.

In our standalone factories, you’ll join a dedicated team responsible for mixing, processing, and packaging our world-famous doughnuts — fresh and ready to ship to local stores and supermarket shelves. It’s fast-paced, hands-on work where every role plays a key part in our success.

Depending on the location, you may be applying to work in one of our unique theatre stores — where the factory is front and center, and the doughnut-making magic happens live for customers to see. When the Hotlight is on, it’s showtime! Guests gather to watch the doughnuts being mixed, fried, and glazed in real time — and you’re part of the performance.

No experience? No problem. We provide full training — all you need is a great attitude, a team mindset, and a readiness to learn. Whether you're behind the scenes or in the spotlight, this is your chance to grow your career while making something people love.
