A Snapshot of Your Day (Industrial Engineer - Greenfield)
As an Industrial Engineer supporting Siemens Energy’s Greenfield Large Power Transformer Manufacturing Facility, you will play a critical role in designing and establishing a world-class manufacturing ecosystem from the ground up. Your day will involve developing factory layouts, optimizing manufacturing processes, planning production capacities, improving material flow, and driving productivity initiatives to support operational excellence and future growth.
In this role, you will collaborate closely with Production, Supply Chain, Quality, Maintenance, Engineering, Project Management, and Infrastructure teams to ensure the factory is designed for efficiency, scalability, safety, and cost-effectiveness. You will contribute to capacity modeling, manpower planning, line balancing, material flow optimization, and implementation of Lean Manufacturing principles, helping Siemens Energy achieve targeted production volumes, lead times, and operational performance. We are looking for an industrial engineering professional with strong analytical capabilities, hands-on manufacturing experience, and a passion for building high-performance manufacturing systems in a dynamic greenfield environment.
How You'll Make an Impact
• Develop and implement manufacturing layouts for the greenfield transformer factory, including workstation design, equipment positioning, material staging areas, and production flow arrangements.
• Define and optimize material flow, people movement, WIP storage locations, internal logistics routes, and factory infrastructure to support safe and efficient operations.
• Collaborate with civil, utility, equipment, and project engineering teams to finalize factory layouts and ensure successful integration of manufacturing processes.
• Establish process capacities, takt times, cycle times, throughput targets, and lead-time models based on product mix, production plans, and operational requirements.
• Develop capacity planning models and support phased production ramp-up strategies to achieve targeted output levels and operational readiness.
• Create process-wise manpower plans, productivity norms, staffing models, and multi-skilling strategies to support efficient workforce deployment and long-term scalability.
• Design and optimize internal material handling systems while implementing FIFO, supermarket concepts, point-of-use storage, and visual material management practices.
• Evaluate and support deployment of material handling equipment such as cranes, forklifts, trolleys, automated handling systems, and other manufacturing logistics solutions.
• Drive Lean Manufacturing initiatives including 5S, Kaizen, Value Stream Mapping (VSM), waste elimination, standard work, and continuous improvement programs.
• Develop productivity dashboards, visual management systems, and manufacturing KPIs covering throughput, productivity, lead time, WIP, cycle time, and equipment utilization.
• Participate in equipment selection, vendor discussions, layout reviews, FAT/SAT activities, commissioning, and validation of manufacturing performance requirements.
• Support implementation of digital manufacturing solutions, ERP/MES systems, production master data, routings, work centers, and manufacturing process digitalization initiatives.
• Establish standardized reporting mechanisms, production readiness reviews, and performance monitoring processes to support successful factory startup and operational excellence.
• Work collaboratively with Production, Maintenance, Planning, Quality, Supply Chain, and Project teams to identify operational constraints and implement sustainable improvement solutions.
What You Bring
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Production Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 7-8 years of experience in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Planning, Factory Layout Design, Capacity Planning, Production Engineering, or Operational Excellence functions.
• Experience within heavy engineering, electrical equipment manufacturing, power transformer manufacturing, engineered-to-order production environments, or comparable industrial sectors.
• Strong understanding of factory design principles, production system development, manufacturing workflows, line balancing, and industrial engineering methodologies.
• Hands-on experience in capacity planning, manpower modeling, productivity improvement, time and motion studies, and material flow optimization.
• Experience supporting greenfield factory projects, manufacturing facility expansion programs, production ramp-up activities, or commissioning initiatives is highly desirable.
• Proficiency in factory layout development using AutoCAD or equivalent manufacturing layout and design software.
• Advanced knowledge of Microsoft Excel for capacity modeling, productivity calculations, workforce planning, data analysis, and dashboard development.
• Practical experience with Lean Manufacturing methodologies including 5S, Kaizen, Value Stream Mapping (VSM), Root Cause Analysis, and Continuous Improvement programs.
• Working knowledge of ERP/MRP systems, preferably SAP PP or equivalent manufacturing planning systems.
• Understanding of material handling systems, crane operations, factory logistics, shopfloor safety requirements, and manufacturing infrastructure planning.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and stakeholder management capabilities with the ability to work across multiple functions and disciplines.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and collaboration skills with the ability to influence decisions and drive operational improvements in complex manufacturing environments.
• Passion for operational excellence, digital manufacturing, continuous improvement, and building world-class manufacturing facilities that support Siemens Energy’s growth ambitions.
