Industrial Engineer

We have an outstanding career opportunity for an Industrial Engineer to join a leading Company located in the Louisville, KY surrounding area.

This is an opportunity to shape how a manufacturing operation runs —end to end. You'll be trusted to influence facility design, production flow, labor strategy, and capital investments while partnering with engineering, operations, and supply chain leaders. If you enjoy solving complex problems, building efficient systems from the ground up, and seeing your ideas implemented on the plant floor, this role offers real ownership and visibility.

• Drive Operational Excellence
• Lead efforts to eliminate waste, reduce delays, and unlock productivity across manufacturing, assembly, and logistics operations.
• Apply industrial engineering tools—time studies, standard data, process mapping, and analytics—to improve labor, equipment, and material utilization.
• Champion lean manufacturing principles, including 5S, Kanban, TPM, visual factory, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Design How the Facility Operates
• Own pre‑SOP facility planning, including plant layouts, material flow, and inventory optimization.
• Perform throughput, broadcast, and dock‑to‑dock analyses to ensure production and delivery requirements are met.
• Build and validate operational models using simulation tools (e.g., Pro Model or equivalent) to support data‑driven decisions.
• Influence Cost, Capital & Strategy
• Partner with engineering cost estimators to develop accurate assumptions for labor, automation, square footage, tooling, and material‑handling investments.
• Develop RFQs, equipment specifications, and capital plans that support scalable, efficient operations.
• Track and manage capital investments while ensuring strong ROI and operational readiness.
• Collaborate Across the Business
• Work closely with Purchasing to evaluate suppliers, equipment, and emerging technologies that keep operations competitive.
• Support packaging design efforts with a focus on ergonomics, labor efficiency, freight optimization, and plant layout.
• Serve as a technical partner to internal teams and customers through design reviews, capacity studies, feasibility assessments, and technical presentations.
• Lead Change & Solve Problems
• Plan and execute industrial engineering projects from concept through implementation.
• Benchmark industry best practices and help set engineering standards.
• Step in to troubleshoot and support operations during launches, changes, or critical production challenges.

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Minimum 4 years of experience in industrial engineering, manufacturing, logistics, or supply chain environments.

• Exposure to complex manufacturing systems (automotive or similar high‑volume, multi‑process operations).
• Proven experience in freight optimization (transport modes, packaging density, routing frequency, return ratios).
• Strong background in packaging concepts and design.
• Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD and strong working knowledge of CAD viewers.
• Advanced Excel skills and solid proficiency in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Project.
• Hands‑on experience with facility layout, material flow analysis, capacity planning, and labor optimization.
• Experience with simulation and modeling tools such as Pro Model or equivalent.
• Highly analytical, curious, and solutions‑oriented.
• Comfortable owning projects and influencing outcomes without heavy oversight.
• Strong communicator who can translate data into clear recommendations.
• Willing to travel periodically to support new launches, engineering changes, and production needs.

Military connected talent encouraged to apply.
