Are you a puzzle-solver who looks at a bustling warehouse and immediately sees a more efficient way to route the flow?

As an Industrial & Process Engineer , you will be the chief architect of our warehouse physical layouts and operational workflows. Operating within a fast-paced Third-Party Logistics (3PL) setting, you will bridge the gap between AutoCAD design and floor execution. Your primary mission is to design high-efficiency warehouse floor plans, map out seamless processes, and relentlessly eliminate operational bottlenecks to maximize throughput, safety, and profitability.

Key Responsibilities

- Warehouse Floor & Layout Design: Design and continuously optimize multi-client warehouse floor plans, slotting strategies, and rack configurations (selective, push-back, VNA, etc.) using AutoCAD or similar design software.
- Develop and scale physical footprints to accommodate new client implementations and changing seasonal inventory profiles.
- Process Engineering & Bottleneck Elimination:
- Conduct time-motion studies, value stream mapping (VSM), and capacity analysis to identify and eliminate operational bottlenecks in receiving, put-away, picking, packing, and shipping.
- Implement Lean Warehousing principles (5S, Kaizen, Gemba) to reduce waste and optimize labor utilization.
- Data Analysis & Simulation:
- Analyze SKU velocity, order profiles, and historical data to design optimal product slotting strategies.
- Use data to justify capital expenditure (CapEx) for automation, material handling equipment (MHE),



or racking modifications.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration:
- Partner closely with General Managers, Operations Supervisors, and the Account Management team to implement layout changes with minimal disruption to daily operations.
- Standardize Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for newly engineered processes.

Required Qualifications

- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain Management, Logistics, or a related technical field.
- Experience: 3–5 years of experience in process engineering, layout design, or continuous improvement, ideally within a 3PL or multi-client warehouse environment.
- Technical Skills: Proficient in AutoCAD (2D/3D), warehouse simulation software, and advanced MS Excel. Familiarity with WMS (Warehouse Management Systems) and LMS (Labor Management Systems).
- Methodologies: Strong working knowledge of Lean, Six Sigma, and Value Stream Mapping (Lean/Six Sigma Green Belt is a major plus).
- Analytical Mindset: You don't just find problems; you bring data-backed, cost-justified solutions.
- Change Management: Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to get buy-in from both the executive suite and the associates on the warehouse floor.
- Agility: Ability to balance multiple projects simultaneously in a dynamic, high-turnover environment.
- Safety First: A deep understanding of OSHA regulations, building codes, and fire-safety compliance related to rack storage.
