Full Job Description
The Network Capacity Industrial Engineer serves as the source of truth for engineering across Stord's fulfillment network. This role builds and maintains models that quantify storage, picking, and throughput capacity across all active sites-providing the data foundation that informs decisions across operations, real estate, sales, and leadership. Highly visible and analytically rigorous, this position sits at the intersection of engineering, operations, and business planning. The ideal candidate pairs strong industrial engineering fundamentals with sharp data instincts, and can translate complex models into clear, actionable insights for senior stakeholders. What You'll Do: • Network Capacity Modeling: Build and maintain a network-wide capacity model covering storage, pick, and throughput across all active sites; refresh inputs on a defined cadence (e.g., weekly/monthly) and ensure visibility for operations and leadership. • Storage & Space Utilization: Analyze utilization and density across facilities; quantify improvement opportunities and partner with site teams to implement layout, slotting, or process changes. • Cross-Functional Partnership: Partner with Sales, Operations, and Solutions Engineering to validate capacity assumptions and ensure customer commitments align with actual network constraints. • Continuous Improvement: Identify recurring capacity constraints and develop data-backed engineering recommendations to improve throughput, storage efficiency, and labor productivity. Basic Qualifications: • Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations Research, or a related field • 3+ years of experience in industrial engineering, network planning, capacity modeling, or warehouse operations • Advanced proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets (e.g., pivot tables, index/match or XLOOKUP, data modeling) • Experience building and maintaining capacity, labor, or throughput models using real operational data • Ability to translate analysis into clear outputs (e.g., dashboards, summaries, or presentations) for non-technical stakeholders • Working knowledge of warehouse operations, including storage systems, slotting, picking workflows, and labor planning concepts
