Description
INDUSTRIAL ENGINEER -COVENTRY, WEST MIDLANDS
COMPETITIVE SALARY + PENSION BENEFITS
Our client is a joint venture between Japanese and British manufacturers that was established in 1996 and is an automotive component manufacturing facility producing Body-in-White (BIW) components. The company has 500 employees, with a turnover of £67M. Its principal customer is a major car manufacturer in the UK, making it a progressive and successful automotive component manufacturer.
The Industrial Engineer will report to the Weld Business Improvement Manager and will be required to understand and measure waste within the weld shop manufacturing processes and to determine, develop and drive processes to ensure efficiency, productivity and cost targets are achieved.
You should be able to determine the time taken to perform a task or production process and set standards to achieve required targets as well as assessing techniques and equipment used in production processes to determine if they can operate more efficiently. You will also be involved in applying appropriate industrial engineering and lean manufacturing tools to identify and improve all areas of manufacturing capability.
Also crucial to this position is the ability to utilise value stream mapping to identify, reduce and eliminate waste and determine improvement opportunities. The Industrial Engineer will take responsibility for recommending changes to work methods, safety measures and manning, including establishing optimal weld shop cell layout. The candidate will be able to identify and support continuous improvement activities by promoting and demonstrating the use of tools and techniques that will improve operational efficiency.
To succeed as Industrial Engineer you will be qualified to at least HNC level in a relevant subject and must be a self starter with BIW experience (Welding process) and demonstrable experience in applying lean manufacturing concepts techniques.

You should be resilient, with the ability to work to tight deadlines and remain calm under pressure as well as effective communication skills to influence at all levels and the ability to plan and organise effectively.
In depth knowledge of weld process design and methodologies and proven experience of delivering process improvement is also essential. Experience of working within automotive OEM/1st tier manufacturing environments would be highly advantageous, as would knowledge of H&S requirements relating to weld process design (including CE marking)
