Description
*Industrial Engineer * About this opportunity: DSC is looking for a motivated, detail-oriented Industrial Engineer to join our team! We're seeking someone who enjoys problem-solving, improving manufacturing processes, and developing practical engineering solutions. In this role, you'll work alongside experienced engineers and multidisciplinary teams on a variety of manufacturing and industrial projects, from initial facility planning and process analysis through design and implementation. This is a great opportunity for an entry-level or intermediate engineer looking to build their technical skills, gain hands-on experience, and grow professionally in a collaborative engineering environment. Key Responsibilities * Develop and revise manufacturing facility layouts, equipment arrangements, and production workflows using AutoCAD and other engineering tools. * Analyze manufacturing processes, material flow, and facility operations to identify opportunities for improved efficiency and productivity. * Conduct time studies, cycle-time analysis, labor assessments, and production line balancing. * Evaluate production capacity, equipment utilization, bottlenecks, and material-handling requirements. * Apply Lean manufacturing principles, Value Stream Mapping, and continuous improvement techniques to support process improvements. * Collect and analyze production data to develop practical, cost-effective engineering recommendations. * Assist with manufacturing simulation, process modeling, and evaluation of alternative layouts and operating strategies. * Participate in site visits, plant-floor assessments, field measurements, and documentation of existing conditions. * Prepare engineering layouts, calculations, technical reports, presentations, and supporting project documentation. * Collaborate with senior engineers, clients, equipment suppliers, and other engineering disciplines throughout project planning, design, and implementation. Qualifications & Technical Skills * Degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related engineering discipline. * Entry-level to intermediate experience in industrial engineering, manufacturing, or process improvement. Relevant co-op, internship, or project experience is welcome. * Working knowledge of manufacturing processes, facility planning, production systems, and material flow. * Proficiency in AutoCAD for 2D facility and equipment layouts, with the ability to read and interpret engineering drawings. * Strong Microsoft Excel skills, including formulas, PivotTables, charts, and data analysis. * Understanding of Lean manufacturing principles, Value Stream Mapping, 5S, and continuous improvement methodologies. * Familiarity with time studies, cycle-time and takt-time analysis, work measurement, and production line balancing. * Knowledge of production capacity, throughput, equipment utilization, and bottleneck analysis. * Understanding of material handling, warehouse operations, inventory flow, and manufacturing logistics. * Ability to collect, organize, and analyze manufacturing data and translate findings into practical recommendations. * Familiarity with process mapping, root-cause analysis, and structured problem-solving techniques. * Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to prepare technical documentation and present findings. Additional Skills Considered an Asset * Experience with 3D CAD, facility scanning, or point-cloud data. * Exposure to manufacturing simulation software such as Siemens Plant Simulation, AutoMod, FlexSim, or AnyLogic. * Familiarity with Power BI, Minitab, Python, SQL, or other data analysis tools. * Understanding of ERP, MES, or warehouse management systems. * Exposure to Six Sigma, manufacturing automation, or Industry 4.0 technologies. * Eligibility for registration with Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO), or progress toward a P.Eng. licence.
