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.
