YOUR ROLE
We are seeking a motivated and dynamic Continuous Improvement Engineer to join our high-volume distribution center team. This is an excellent opportunity for an entry-level to mid-level engineer (0-5 years of experience) looking to make a significant impact by driving efficiency and process improvements. You will be part of a site that has a long-standing track record of continuous improvement, with annual cost savings exceeding $1 million, and has recently been recognized with a company award for its outstanding Lean and process optimization efforts.
In this role, you will be mentored by a Senior Industrial Engineer and will work closely with cross-functional teams to identify and implement process improvements, driving both cost savings and operational efficiency. This is a highly visible role, reporting directly to Operations but with strong support from engineering and other departments, offering opportunities to lead high-profile projects that deliver tangible results.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
- Lead and support Kaizen events and continuous improvement initiatives, serving as a coach and facilitator for improvement teams.
- Identify opportunities for process optimization across key areas such as picking, packing, and shipping operations within the distribution center.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including operations, engineering, and supply chain to develop, implement, and track cost-saving initiatives.
- Create A3/A4 Kaizen project reports for each improvement project to document problem statements, root cause analyses, action plans, and final outcomes.
- Document and analyze performance data, providing regular reports on progress, savings, and the effectiveness of initiatives.
- Prepare and present monthly cost savings and performance reports to site leadership and stakeholders.
- Use Lean, Six Sigma, and other continuous improvement methodologies to identify root causes, develop solutions, and lead implementation efforts.
- Build strong relationships with operations teams to drive a culture of continuous improvement and problem-solving.
- Monitor and sustain improvements after implementation, ensuring changes become embedded in the daily operations.
- Participate in problem-solving sessions and support teams in using tools such as value stream mapping, time studies, and 5S.
- Drive innovation in process improvement, bringing new ideas and methods to the table for improving productivity and reducing waste.
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
- Bachelor’s degree in Engineering preferred (Industrial, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, or related fields) or significant experience in continuous improvement in a high-volume environment.
- 0-5 years of relevant experience in a similar engineering or continuous improvement role.
- Strong problem-solving skills and an analytical mindset, with a keen eye for identifying inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement.
- Knowledge and experience with Lean, Six Sigma, or other continuous improvement methodologies (certifications such as Green Belt are a plus).
- Experience with data analysis tools such as Excel, Access, and SQL Server for manipulating large data sets and analyzing trends.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with teams at all levels of the organization.
- Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, balancing short-term operational needs with long-term improvement goals.
- Hands-on approach with a willingness to work on the operations floor to better understand processes and implement changes.
- Self-starter with a growth mindset, eager to learn and grow within a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
- Experience in high-volume distribution, logistics, or manufacturing environments is preferred but not required.
