Position Summary

Are you passionate about designing smarter operations, solving complex challenges, and delivering measurable business results? As an Industrial Engineer, you'll play a key role in shaping the future of our multi-building distribution campus by combining engineering expertise with strategic thinking to drive operational excellence.

In this highly visible position, you'll partner with campus leadership and cross-functional teams to identify, prioritize, and implement productivity improvements using activity-based costing, benchmarking, and time-study analytics. Your insights and recommendations will directly influence business decisions, operational performance, and supply chain KPIs.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys being a trusted advisor, problem solver, and change agent. You'll help improve safety, efficiency, scalability, and overall operational effectiveness while supporting long-term business growth and innovation.

What You'll Do
  • Design and maintain CAD drawings for complex, multi-building distribution campuses, translating business and operational requirements into facility layouts that support transportation, distribution, and future growth.
  • Analyze workflows, material handling requirements, and space utilization to identify opportunities for process improvements and recommend solutions involving racking, forklifts, totes, and other material handling equipment.
  • Develop, implement, and maintain engineered labor standards using MOST methodology while training and coaching operational teams on best practices to support adoption and long-term success.
  • Continuously evaluate and enhance labor models to improve productivity, simplify operations, and respond to evolving business needs, including scheduling changes, seasonal demand fluctuations, process improvements, and environmental considerations.
  • Serve as the industrial engineering subject matter expert and strategic partner for key stakeholders, supporting business case development, productivity validation, capital planning initiatives, and operational decision-making.
  • Collaborate with internal and external partners to facilitate engineering requirements and permitting activities, including electrical, plumbing, refrigeration, fire protection, and HVAC considerations.
  • Partner with Operations and Finance teams to evaluate and optimize incentive programs, validate performance metrics, adjust baselines, and ensure plans effectively drive desired behaviors and business outcomes.
  • Build strong relationships with industry associations, external experts, and cross-functional partners to stay current on best practices and emerging trends.


What You'll Bring
  • Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering or a related field.
  • Project Management Certification.
  • Proven experience driving productivity improvements within distribution, logistics, supply chain, or related operational environments.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to convert data into actionable business recommendations.
  • Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams and influencing stakeholders at multiple levels of the organization.


What Makes You Stand Out
  • Five or more years of experience implementing and/or managing Engineered Labor Standards.
  • Advanced knowledge and practical application of MOST methodology.
  • Master's degree in Industrial Engineering or a related discipline.
  • Demonstrated success leading large-scale operational improvement initiatives and supporting capital planning efforts.
  • A passion for continuous improvement, operational excellence, and creating scalable solutions that deliver lasting business value.


Why Join Us?

This is more than an engineering role. It's an opportunity to influence strategy, collaborate with senior leaders, and make a lasting impact on how our operations perform today and grow in the future. If you're energized by continuous improvement, data-driven decision making, and solving complex supply chain challenges, we'd love to hear from you.

Salary
  • $92,640-138,960, depending on experience.
