Maintenance Manager

A Little About Us Oats Overnight is changing the way people eat breakfast, and since launching in 2016, our high protein spoon‑free oatmeal has been enjoyed by over 1,000,000 customers. We are scaling quickly in both direct‑to‑consumer and retail with the goal of becoming a household brand. We have end‑to‑end control of all phases of the business, producing and fulfilling the product in‑house, which is extremely rare for companies our size. This allows us to create new flavours and products quickly and is a tremendous advantage for our brand – we’re able to give customers a behind‑the‑scenes look at what we do, highlighting our people and process in content. Being vertically integrated also enables us to incorporate customers directly in the development process.
