It’s us, the original oatmilk company that started in Sweden back 30 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.\nWhy Oatly?\nAcross the world people's consumption habits and diets are evolving to be more plant-based. Enter Oatly, the #1 oat based dairy alternative producer in the world with products spanning multiple categories.\nOur sole purpose as a company is to make it easy for people to turn what they eat and drink into personal moments of healthy joy without recklessly taxing the planet’s resources in the process.\nSustainability, nutritional health, and trust are at the heart of what we do. We are building a culture that constantly upgrades each other so we can upgrade the planet. This is a company that shows great respect and a fearless approach to make positive change. Does this feel exciting? Well, this is where you come in.\nThe Quality Control Technician is a Compliance & GMP position. This position is responsible for ensuring daily adherence to food safety, quality, and regulatory standards across the facility. This role conducts routine inspections, sampling, laboratory testing, and documentation to verify compliance with SOPs, GMPs, and product specifications. The technician supports cross-functional teams through data-driven decision-making and continuous improvement activities.\nHere are the things we want to hire you to do:\nCompliance Monitoring & GMP Verification\nVerify daily compliance with SOPs and GMPs across the facility.\n\nReport any noncompliance or food safety concerns to the Quality Manager immediately.\n\nConduct pre-operational and operational inspections and authorize production start-up with the Production team.\n\nParticipate in the internal BRC auditing program.\n\nQuality Monitoring, Sampling, Testing, and Environmental Monitoring Program\nPerform daily pre-operational ATP swabs to verify sanitation effectiveness.\n\nConduct environmental and allergen monitoring per the site EMP and allergen program.\n\nPerform sampling and testing in accordance with written procedures and instructions.\n\nDocument environmental findings and communicate issues requiring corrective action.\n\nRaw Materials, In-Process, & Finished Goods Quality\nMonitor raw materials, in-process products, and finished product testing for compliance with specifications.\n\nVerify raw materials, in-process product, and finished goods meet specifications.\n\nConduct routine quality checks on oatbase and finished products during the shift.\n\nPerform raw material testing per specifications.\n\nConduct in-process laboratory tests including total solids, pH, viscosity, organoleptic checks, microbiological screens, moisture, density, and other required analyses.\n\nPerform finished product microbiological testing (APC, yeast, mold) and allergen testing as applicable.\n\nEnter results and complete release transactions in Sample Manager (LIMS) and/or designated lab systems.\n\nPrepare quality reports and generate Certificates of Analysis (CoAs).\n\nData Integrity, Equipment & Materials Management\nMaintain accurate logs, laboratory records, and data integrity.\n\nMaintain accurate logs, records, and data integrity in accordance with procedures.\n\nMaintain working knowledge of laboratory instruments;

So we wrote this long, awkward sentence to let you know all the ways we sweeten the deal when you work with us, like 20 vacation days annually, paid sick time, really great benefits (yes, pet insurance is in there), free six packs of...(drumroll)…oatmilk, and you’ll also get genuinely great coworkers who are rooting for each other and the company to thrive. Oh, one more short but very important sentence: We are nimble and agile (not chaotic) in how we work, and we’re grounded in a long company history dating way back to the last century.\nThe salary for this role will be based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to geographic location, internal equity, experience, education, specialty, and training. Actual compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors, including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, and specific location.
