Description

A Little About Us

Oats Overnight is on a mission to build a generational CPG brand. Since 2016, our high-protein, drinkable oatmeal has reached over a million customers through direct-to-consumer, and we\'re now scaling with all major nationwide retail and club partners. Our goal: become a household brand by leveraging speed, storytelling, and strategy.

We are vertically integrated: we develop, manufacture, and fulfill everything in-house. This operational control allows us to engage customers directly into the R&D process, an initiative where we were first-to-market in CPG. It also makes our brand tangible and real: our factory, our team, and our product pipeline are all part of the narrative.

This is an exciting stage - we are emerging as a significant omni-channel brand and launching new products to capture significant market share across verticals. We want you to help us get there.

Every teammate here has equity because we\'re building something big, and everyone plays an important role. If you\'re excited about building a brand that does things differently, this is that opportunity.

What\'s The Job

As a Sr. Maintenance Technician at Oats Overnight, you are the person the team leans on when things get complex. You bring deep trade expertise, the ability to handle escalated equipment issues, and the experience to mentor and upskill the people around you. This is a high-impact individual contributor role for someone who has seen a lot, knows their craft, and wants to put it to work in a fast-growing food manufacturing environment.
