Hello potential future Oatly employee. It’s us, the original oatmilk company that started in Sweden back 25 or so years ago and has since expanded to the U.S. where we’ve continued growing at a rate such that we need more brilliant minds to come work with us to keep the momentum going and the oatmilk flowing.

Sustainability, health, and transparency are the core values that guide everything we do. Basically, we exist to make it easy for people to eat better and live healthier lives without recklessly taxing the planet’s resources in the process. If any of this resonates with you, then maybe you’d like work for Oatly, too. Now onto the formal stuff.

Here's what we want you to do:

• Operate manufacturing equipment for production of food grade oatbase, including daily maintenance and problem solving
• Operate HMI System(s)
• Anticipate needs before they arise, while keeping focus on deliverables and what is needed for timely success
• Think systematically to help ensure everything makes sense and is in lock-step
• Naturally prioritize and integrate complex inputs
• Together with coworkers and global organization build up, maintain, and further develop the quality system and HACCP work at site
• Comply with GMPs, PPE, sanitation procedures, general housekeeping and food safety and food defense practices and procedures
• Utilize process data, trend analysis and training to monitor, troubleshoot and respond to process conditions to optimize the Plant operations
• Collect and test samples on different stages of the process and act based on the results when required
• Maintain a clean facility and follow the sanitation schedule
• Other duties as assigned

Here are the things we think you need:

• Must be 18 years or older with the ability to read, write and speak English specific to work instructions including but not limited to safety purposes
• High school, GED, or equivalent diploma required
• Two + years previous experience
• Knowledge of statistical calculations and applications
• Basic HACCP Knowledge
• Excellent organization skills and abilities to make decisions on quality issues
• Ability to work in cold and hot environments (approximately 38F-80F degrees)
• Ability to be mobile in accomplishing tasks and or moving from one worksite (up to 1-mile range) to another
• Ability to walk for extended periods of time (8-12 Hours); ability to bend and to lift heavy materials (up to 50 lbs.)
• Ability to repeat motions that may include use of the wrists, hands and/or fingers, and standing or sitting for prolonged periods (average 8-12 hours)

And here’s another list of qualities we think make a good Oatly team member:

• You feel connected to our mission of encouraging health, sustainability, and transparency
• You are a self-starter who doesn’t need direct supervision to motivate you for success – we believe strongly in building a culture of individual accountability and ownership and need partners that can embrace that mentality
• You are ready to make your mark in a smaller, growing brand leveraging your experience to deliver amazing results and build an outstanding company
• You have an entrepreneurial spirit in that you’re comfortable with ambiguity and are energized by the process of building something lasting from the ground up
• You enjoy sharing your quirkiness and talents with your coworkers

Another bulleted list felt redundant, so we wrote this long sentence with all the ways we sweeten the deal to work with us, like providing 20 days paid vacation, really great benefits, genuinely great coworkers who want to see the company and each other succeed, and a start-up vibe with an established company history.  

Our good faith estimate for compensation of this non-exempt position is $20-$22.
