Industrial Engineer
We are looking for an Industrial Engineer to analyze and improve our production and operations processes. You will find where time, materials or capacity are being lost, propose measurable changes and see them through with the plant, quality and logistics teams.

Responsibilities
Map and document production and operations processes, including flowcharts and standard times.
Track productivity, efficiency, waste and service-level metrics and report on trends.
Identify bottlenecks and propose improvements to plant layout, work methods and resource use.
Take part in production planning and capacity calculations.
Lead or support continuous improvement projects (for example Lean, 5S or Six Sigma) and measure their results.
Estimate process costs and the expected return on equipment investments or method changes.
Work with quality, maintenance and safety teams so that changes don't compromise standards or worker safety.
Requirements
Degree in Industrial Engineering or a related field.
Experience in manufacturing, logistics or service operations with measurable processes.
Intermediate to advanced Excel skills and experience with data analysis tools.
Knowledge of time and motion studies, applied statistics and continuous improvement methods.
Ability to explain technical proposals to operators, supervisors and management.
If you enjoy turning process data into real improvements, we'd like to meet you.
Interview Questions
Tell me about a process you improved. How did you measure it before and after?
Look for a specific metric (cycle time, waste, productivity), how the baseline was set, and how the candidate confirmed the improvement held over time.
How do you find a bottleneck on a production line?
Look for direct observation, timing each station, work-in-process piling up, and comparing capacity with demand.
A change you proposed cuts costs, but operators push back. What do you do?
Look for a candidate who listens to the team's reasons, adjusts the proposal where needed and pilots the change before rolling it out.
Which continuous improvement tools have you used, and where?
Look for named tools (5S, VSM, SMED, Kaizen, statistical process control) backed by a real example, not just a definition.
How do you prioritize several improvement projects with limited resources?
Look for reasoning based on expected impact, effort, risk and fit with operational goals, ideally with an explicit criterion.
