Industrialization Engineer – Pile Driving Equipment

Industrialization Engineer – Pile Driving Equipment

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum of 10 years of experience in industrialization or manufacturing engineering, with a focus on heavy machinery, foundation equipment, or similar industries.
• In-depth knowledge of pile driving or similar machines/equipment and foundation engineering processes.
• Experience working with external suppliers and manufacturers, managing the industrialization of complex machinery.
• Strong understanding of production processes, quality control, and manufacturing standards.
• Ability to analyze designs for manufacturability and suggest improvements for production efficiency and cost savings.
• Excellent project management and organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and timelines.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, able to effectively collaborate with both internal teams and external suppliers.
• Experience with industrialization tools and methodologies, such as value stream mapping, Lean manufacturing, and Six Sigma.
• Familiarity with the regulatory and safety standards associated with manufacturing and heavy machinery.

Responsibilities

• Work closely with external manufacturers to ensure the design, production, and delivery of pile driving equipment align with our project requirements, timelines, and quality standards.
• Develop and implement industrialization strategies for pile driving equipment, ensuring the efficient transition from prototype to mass production while meeting cost, quality, and lead-time objectives.
• Collaborate with external manufacturers to improve production processes and ensure manufacturability, identifying opportunities for cost reductions, process improvements, and risk mitigation.
• Provide input during the design phase to ensure that equipment is designed with manufacturability in mind, including simplifying assembly and ensuring that designs are robust for mass production.
• Work with procurement, logistics, and project management teams to ensure that the right materials, components, and production schedules are in place to support the manufacturing of pile driving equipment.
• Ensure that external manufacturers adhere to quality standards, regulatory requirements, and specifications for the pile driving equipment. Conduct regular reviews and audits to verify quality control processes.
• Address and resolve any manufacturing or design issues that arise during the industrialization process, working with both internal teams and external suppliers to find practical solutions.
• Oversee factory acceptance tests (FAT), ensure that equipment meets performance criteria, and collaborate with manufacturers to address any issues identified during testing.
• Work with external manufacturers to manage production costs and ensure that the equipment is produced within budget, finding cost-effective solutions without compromising quality.
• Collaborate with engineering, project management, and manufacturing teams to ensure smooth coordination and alignment throughout the industrialization process.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with automation and advanced manufacturing technologies.
• Experience in heavy and complex machinery manufacturing.
• Familiarity with the foundation and piling equipment industry.
• Knowledge of quality management systems (e.g., ISO 9001) and lean principles.
