Job description

The Warehouse Process Engineer drives operational excellence by measuring, analyzing, and optimizing end-to-end warehousing performance. This role balances cost efficiency with service quality, combining strong analytical oversight with deep, hands-on experience in physical warehouse architecture, material flow design, and system utilization to optimize plant logistics.

What will you do?

• Infrastructure & Layout Design: Lead the physical architecture design of manufacturing plant warehouses and distribution centers, including optimized layout configurations, racking selection, and high-density storage systems.
• Material Flow Optimization: Design and implement highly efficient operational workflows for inbound and outbound activities, including put-away, picking, kitting, and staging processes.
• Performance Measurement & Continuous Improvement:
  • Continuously track and evaluate critical logistics KPIs (operational costs, service levels, throughput, healthy stock and space utilization) and implement rapid corrective actions for performance gaps.
  • Implement and monitor robust warehouse performance KPIs to consistently fuel and maintain a pipeline of continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Deploy Lean, 5S, and Six Sigma methodologies to eliminate waste, maximize storage density, and minimize material handling cycle times.
• Project Management: Lead capital and operational projects from initial concept through engineering design to execution, ensuring seamless integration with existing manufacturing operations.
