Job Description:
Insight Global is seeking an experienced Industrial Engineer to support large-scale plant automation initiatives across North American manufacturing sites. This role is heavily plant-facing and travel-intensive (approximately 50–75%), focused on collecting and validating shop-floor data, documenting current-state processes/layouts, and translating findings into structured deliverables that enable end-to-end automation and operational optimization. The ideal candidate is highly comfortable working directly on a plant floor, partnering with cross-functional plant teams, and producing precise, detail-oriented data outputs.
Job Responsibilities:
Travel to manufacturing plants across North America (50–75%) to perform on-site data collection and validation on the plant floor (processes, routes, material flow, cycle times, touchpoints, layouts)
Partner with plant operations, manufacturing engineering, and automation teams to define data requirements and ensure consistent collection methods
Develop and maintain plant floor layouts and material flow documentation using AutoCAD
Build, clean, and analyze datasets using Excel (e.g., structured data tables, validation checks, pivot tables, formulas, standard work documentation support)
Document current-state workflows and translate them into usable artifacts for automation and future-state design (e.g., routings, time studies, process maps, floor routing logic)
Communicate findings clearly to internal stakeholders and provide actionable insights that support automation design decisions
Ensure a high level of accuracy and consistency in data capture; proactively identify gaps, anomalies, and opportunities to standardize
