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.

Joining our team here and now is especially exciting as our plant in Millville is the first production facility Oatly has built in the United States. Totally oatsome, right?

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.

We are looking for a Transportation Clerk who will be responsible for tracking and monitoring tankers along their routes to the final destination and communicating all updates with the receiver. The role will report to the Plant Manager on a full time schedule.

If you think you might be a good fit, you'll find yourself in the following description:

* You will be expected to adhere to Good Manufacturing Practices
* You anticipate needs before they arise, while keeping a laser focus on deliverables and what is needed for timely success
* You work effortlessly across disciplines
* You think systematically to help ensure everything makes sense and is in lock-step
* You naturally prioritize and synthesize complex inputs

Here are some things we want to hire you to do:

* Coordinating with tanker companies to ensure timely arrivals to meet our production needs
* Tracking loads within our TMS, phone, and email
* Communicating with copackers to inform them of tanker delivery times and any delays
* Working closely with the Production Planners and Plant Manager to understand our weekly schedules
* Recording all weights / scale tickets, etc. for all tanker shipments
* Filing claims with carriers for rejected loads when carrier is at fault
* Keeping track of all claims and follow up to ensure timely payments from carriers
* Updating tanker trackers in excel and google sheets as needed
* Assisting with paperwork filing
* Other duties as assigned

Here are some 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
* 2-4+ years experience in a production/manufacturing environment
* Prior experience in logistics and/or transportation
* Excellent communication skills including phone and email
* Knowledge of computer software, including TMS and ERP systems
* Microsoft Dynamics 365 or ERP/MRP Software experience is highly preferred
* Willingness to participate in a team environment
* Excellent problem solving and decision-making skills
* Math skills and troubleshooting skills
* Extreme attention to detail
* Ability to prioritize, analyze, and interpret results
* Social competence and ability to establish sound relationships with others
* Good organizational, time management, and project management skills
* 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)

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 with 100% medical coverage for employee, genuinely great coworkers who want to see the company and each other succeed, and a start-up vibe with an established company history.
