On Site Environment, Health & Safety Manager

Job description

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 help people live a healthier life without recklessly taxing the planet’s resources in the process, and to change the food system for the better. We drive that change through the power of oats and through a significant reduction in cow’s milk consumption. If any of this resonates with you, then maybe you’d like to work for Oatly, too. Now onto the formal stuff.

We’re looking for an Environment, Health & Safety Manager to support our North America factory team in Ogden (UT). As a EHS Manager, you’ll be the driving force behind a safe, compliant, and forward‑thinking manufacturing environment. You will not have direct reports, however you’ll partner closely with site leadership, our global EHS team and our partner Ya YA Foods – with whom we share our building and facilities – to build and strengthen a culture where safety truly comes first and EHS standards are fully embedded in everything we do.

Responsibilities

Investigate incidents, near misses, and environmental events

Own audits, inspections, and regulatory reporting

Manage hazardous waste, permits, and environmental monitoring

Ensure compliance with ISO, OSHA, and environmental standards

Drive culture: build and embed a strong Culture of Care, by delivering Oatly’s Global programme

Partner closely and engage with our partner Ya YA Foods

Identify risks and implement practical, scalable solutions

Coach leaders and teams on safe behaviors and accountability

Spend real time on the shop floor solving real problems

Lead emergency response readiness and fire safety programs

Connect beyond the site: collaborate with the Global SHE Director and wider SHE community

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in EHS, Engineering, Environmental Science or similar

~5+ years of EHS experience in manufacturing (food/beverage is a big plus)

Strong knowledge of industrial hygiene, audits, and compliance frameworks

Confidence working with regulators (OSHA, EPA, etc.)

The ability to influence—from operators to senior leaders

Proven compliance expertise and ability to build sound relationships and culture

Confidence navigating in ambiguity and improving things that aren’t “done yet”

Ability to lead, take ownership and make things happen

Key Attributes

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

Benefits

We provide 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.

Compensation

The 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. Compensation may also include bonus, commission, or equity as applicable. Our good faith estimate for base salary is $90,000.
