We are seeking an experienced Industrial Engineer to join a dynamic manufacturing team at a leading site in Huddersfield. This role will focus on observing and improving existing manufacturing processes, reducing waste, and optimizing equipment efficiency. While most of the role will require on-site presence, some documentation and paperwork can be completed remotely.

• Work primarily on the manufacturing floor to observe and assess existing processes.
• Identify areas of waste in current operations and propose methods to eliminate inefficiencies.
• Improve manufacturing equipment and processes to enhance productivity.
• Apply industrial engineering techniques such as line balancing, time studies, and Single-Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) to reduce downtime and improve output.
• Collaborate with the larger Manufacturing team to align process improvements with overall production goals.
• Utilize tools like Excel to track data and analyze process performance.
• Ensure all improvements align with company safety and quality standards.

• Extensive knowledge of manufacturing processes: You must have a deep understanding of various manufacturing techniques, though not necessarily mechanical-specific.
• Previous experience in Industrial Engineering: Proven experience with methodologies such as line balancing, time studies, and SMED reduction.
• Proficient in Excel: Strong skills in using Excel for data analysis and process tracking.

• Apprentice-trained: Candidates who have completed an engineering apprenticeship are preferred.
• Experience with AutoCAD: Familiarity with AutoCAD for process and layout design would be advantageous.

• The role offers flexibility in working hours and the opportunity to work from home for documentation tasks.
• This is an initial 6-month contract with the potential for extension based on performance and project requirements.

If you are an experienced Industrial Engineer looking for an opportunity to work in a hands-on manufacturing environment with the chance to make a significant impact on process efficiency, we encourage you to apply for this exciting role.
