Process Engineer

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:

  • Support and enable the business by delivering engineering work, meeting set targets, aligned with the overall Sustainable Supply chain strategy and Global standards
  • The role is focusing on engineering process improvement work and execution to improve efficiency for Millville assets to improve sustainability, safety, quality, work environment and much more
  • Drive continuous improvement activities for people and food safety, process improvements, machine availability and loss reduction.
  • Work in close collaboration, nurturing a network with other site organizations in US and globally, Global Engineering, Global Quality, Supply functions and external partners such as engineering suppliers
  • Participate and lead activities during all phases of site projects from design to commissioning and startup
  • Provide technical support and troubleshooting for process equipment and instrumentation to the operations, quality, and maintenance functions with the aim to reduce manufacturing losses and stabilize process
  • Assist the quality function to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements
  • Determine utility requirements for best efficiency and sustainability
  • Quantify and improve long term capacity and OEE
  • Prepare, modify, and maintain flow diagrams and P&ID’s as well as equipment, instrumentation, and production specifications.
  • Provide our CAPEX and innovation projects with necessary documentation such as; flow sheet diagrams, functional descriptions, technical specifications, 2D layouts etc
  • Develop SOP’s and operating manuals, train personnel
  • Provide technical support to the R&D and Operations teams during product scale-up and troubleshooting activities
  • Track and present process performance at daily site meetings.
  • Identify opportunities for improvements and planning, facilitating or leading the execution.
  • Contribute to the site objectives by coaching and educating colleagues in the use of continuous improvement methods and tools and the overall production process.
  • Use SCADA systems and other digital solutions necessary to improve the production process and reduce losses.
  • Be involved in relevant CAPEX projects. Guarding the interests of the factory and setting yearly targets related to safety, training, maintenance (AM/PM), manuals/SOPs

Here's what we think you need:

  • Masters or Bachelors of Science in Engineering (Food, Biotech, Mechanical or similar)
  • CAD Design in 2D and 3D
  • Training with food process industry/packaging industry
  • Continuous improvement, LEAN, TPM
  • Testing, Commissioning, validation and start up
  • Travel by plane may be necessary periodically

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, 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 team is available to support you through the hiring process with reasonable accommodations to enable a barrier-free interview experience.
