Senior Industrial Engineer

The Senior Industrial Engineer will be providing technical support and advice for production optimization in relation to construction & building related matters. He / She is required to blend principles of Industrial Engineering with aspect of construction/building systems, and facility operations. This role will optimize building processes, material flow, labor & systems to improve, efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability in construction & facility management for Greenfield Building & assist Building & Construction Principle Engineer in the setting up of Greenfield Operations.

Roles & Responsibilities

1. Process & Flow Optimization

• Analyze product flow from raw materials to finished goods, identifying constraints and inefficiencies.

• Conduct time studies, capacity analysis, and value-stream mapping to optimize production flow.

• Design and implement improved routing, scheduling, and workflow strategies to achieve higher throughput.

2. Layout Design & Space Utilization

• Develop efficient factory layouts that reduce travel distance, improve ergonomics, and support lean manufacturing.

• Lead layout redesign projects using CAD tools and simulation models.

• Ensure space planning aligns with future expansion and volume forecasts.

3. Productivity & Efficiency Improvements

• Develop and implement productivity improvement initiatives using Lean, Six Sigma, and Kaizen methodologies.

• Track KPIs such as cycle time, WIP levels, OEE, and takt time to monitor system performance.

• Collaborate with operations to troubleshoot bottlenecks and implement corrective actions.

4. Material Handling & Logistics

• Evaluate and improve internal logistics systems, including AGVs, conveyors, kanban systems, and material storage.

• Optimize material delivery routes and inventory locations to reduce WIP and handling time.

• Work closely with supply chain and warehouse teams to ensure synchronized material flow.

5. Data Analysis & Simulation

• Build and maintain simulation models to test production scenarios and future capacity requirements.

• Perform data-driven analysis using tools such as Python, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, or Minitab.

• Use statistical techniques to validate improvements and forecast performance.

Requirements

• Degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.

• At least 8 years of relevant experience in the high product low mix manufacturing environment.

• Knowledge of Lean, Six Sigma, and/or industrial engineering tools (5S, VSM, SPC).

• Experience with layout design, process engineering, or production planning is preferred.

• Proficiency in data analysis and simulation software (FlexSim, Arena, AutoCAD, etc.) is a plus.
