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.
