Processing Operator / Processing Lead

About Oato

Oato is a fast-growing fresh oat drink manufacturer based in Preston, Lancashire. We produce fresh oat drink every day for milk rounds and supermarkets across the UK, using British oats and a quality-led production process.

Our ambition is to become a fixture in UK fridges, and we are growing our processing capability to help make that happen. We are looking for a capable, hands-on person to help run the processing side of our operation, including oat milk production, pasteurisation, homogenisation, flavour mixing, transfers, cleaning and production set-up.

This role would suit someone with experience in dairy processing, brewing, beverage production, liquid food manufacturing or another larger-scale process environment.

The Role

You will be part of the team responsible for making and processing Oato’s fresh oat drink at our Preston production site.

The work includes operating and setting up processing equipment, running product through our pasteuriser and homogeniser, controlling pumps, valves and flow meters through a PLC control screen, carrying out manual set-up, completing cleaning processes, and ensuring every batch is made accurately and hygienically.

You will be involved in:

Producing fresh oat drink to agreed recipes and specifications
Operating processing equipment including tanks, pumps, valves, flow meters, pasteuriser and homogeniser
Setting up and monitoring the boiler, processing line and product transfers
Mixing flavours and preparing product for filling
Carrying out cleaning, hygiene and equipment set-up tasks
Following food safety, quality and hygiene procedures
Working accurately with recipes, batch records and production checks
Helping the wider team keep production running efficiently and safely
Taking ownership of the process and spotting ways to improve it

This is a hands-on role in a growing business. You will need to be comfortable working practically, solving problems, keeping standards high and taking responsibility for getting production completed properly.

What We’re Looking For

The ideal candidate will have experience in one or more of the following:

Dairy processing
Brewing or beverage production
Liquid food manufacturing
Pasteurisation, homogenisation or similar heat-treatment processes
CIP, hygiene-controlled production or food-safe processing environments
PLC-controlled production equipment
Pumps, valves, tanks, flow meters and transfer systems

We are also interested in people with strong mechanical aptitude and the right attitude, even if they have not worked with oat drink before.

You will need:

Strong attention to detail
A practical, hands-on approach
High standards of hygiene and cleanliness
Confidence working with machinery and production equipment
The ability to follow recipes, procedures and quality checks accurately
A calm approach when solving production problems
Determination to finish the job properly
The ability to work well as part of a small team
Capacity to lift and carry weights of up to 25kg

Hours and Pay

Full-time role: Sunday to Thursday.
Salary: £35,000 per year once fully trained, including profit share.

Benefits

Annual profit share bonus
Full training on our process and equipment
30 days holiday
Free Oato products
Opportunity to help scale a fast-growing UK drinks brand
A hands-on role with real responsibility
The chance to work on new products and process improvements
Supportive team with a strong focus on quality and sustainability
