Job description

This role requires a hands-on Industrial Engineer responsible for taking engineering designs from concept/final design through to fully manufacturable, scalable production processes, while improving efficiency, reducing waste and achieving measurable cost savings.

What You'll Do:

  • Industrialise new products by converting engineering designs into scalable, repeatable manufacturing processes.

  • Transition engineering designs and data into production and support the engineering release process.

  • Review and approve product sub-systems for manufacturability and build feasibility.

  • Develop detailed production line process models, including how and where sub-assemblies are installed.

  • Be hands-on on the factory floor, investigating and resolving production and technical issues.

  • Conduct root-cause analysis and implement corrective actions.

  • Perform time and motion studies and establish standard work methods.

  • Optimise production lines, workflows and factory layouts to improve efficiency and minimise waste.

  • Identify opportunities for continuous improvement and cost reduction.

  • Work closely with Production, Engineering and Management to align projects with business objectives.

  • Maintain detailed process documentation and prepare reports on production performance and operational efficiency.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's / BTech in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.

  • 3–5+ years' post-graduate experience in Industrial/Process Engineering; automotive experience preferred.

  • Strong understanding of manufacturing processes and production-line dynamics.

  • Experience with time studies, production-line optimisation and component manufacturing.

  • Strong problem-solving and data-analysis capability.

  • Experience working collaboratively across Engineering and Production.

  • Advanced Syspro knowledge, specifically master data, customer fields, scripts, optimisation and customised reporting across manufacturing/supply chain.

  • Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma or similar methodologies.

  • Proficiency in CAD, MS Office/advanced Excel and Crystal Reports.

  • Experience with production scheduling tools.

This role would suit a hands-on, factory-floor Industrial Engineer who combines technical engineering capability with strong problem-solving and continuous-improvement skills. Someone who is comfortable working in a fast-paced, complex manufacturing environment, while maintaining high attention to detail, and strong cross collaboration communication with positive energy.
