Industrial Engineer - Senior
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Senior Industrial Engineer is expected to improve operational efficiency across FedEx facilities and transport processes. Responsibilities typically include analysing workflows and performance data, designing process improvements, optimising layouts and labour usage, supporting automation and capacity planning, and delivering projects that improve service, quality, safety and cost. Candidates should hold a degree in industrial engineering, operations engineering or a related discipline and bring several years of experience in process improvement, logistics or a comparable environment. Strong analytical, project-management and communication skills are important, along with practical knowledge of Lean, Six Sigma, simulation or continuous-improvement methods. The role requires collaboration with operations, technology and management teams, occasional travel, and the ability to turn complex analysis into clear, measurable recommendations.
Can I work in Ireland?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Warehouse, van and courier jobs are ineligible; HGV drivers with a CE or C1E licence and office staff get a General Permit (EUR 36,605) after a 28-day advert.
Before you apply: Driver jobs need a licence that counts in that country, and a foreign one may not carry over: Japan's truck-driver visa asks for a class 1 licence, Qatar residents sit a driving test, and Ireland's permit list asks for a CE or C1E truck licence or one it recognises.
Watch for: A foreign HGV licence counts only where the Road Safety Authority has a recognition deal with that country; fork-lift drivers and stock clerks are ineligible too.
