We are looking for a hands‑on Industrial Engineer to drive operational excellence across our apparel distribution center. You will own the design and continuous improvement of fulfillment workflows — from inbound receiving through outbound shipping and including reverse logistics— with a particular focus on transportation management, labor efficiency, and order flow optimization. This role sits at the intersection of engineering rigor and logistics execution, working closely with DC operations, transportation, technology, and merchandise allocation teams.

• Analyze and re-engineer end-to-end DC workflows including receiving, put away, replenishment, picking, sorting, packing, returns and shipping for both wholesale and direct‑to‑consumer channels
• Conduct time studies, labor standards development, and capacity modeling across all functional areas of the distribution center
• Design and optimize facility layouts, slotting strategies, and travel path logic to minimize unit handling and maximize throughput
• Lead value stream mapping exercises to identify waste and implement Lean improvements across the DC floor
• Design engineered labor standards (ELS) and develop incentive‑based labor programs
• Partner with WMS and systems teams to configure workflows, carton flow logic, and task interleaving rules that support apparel‑specific handling requirements (hanging garments, polybag, folded, ticketing, etc.)

• Support the design and continuous improvement of inbound and outbound transportation processes including carrier selection logic, load planning, manifest workflows, and dock scheduling
• Analyze freight data to identify opportunities for consolidation, mode optimization, and carrier performance improvement
• Partner with the transportation team to engineer dock‑to‑carrier workflows that reduce dwell time and improve on‑time shipment performance
• Develop engineered standards and labor models for shipping operations including packing, manifesting, trailer loading, and yard management
• Evaluate and recommend transportation management system (TMS) configurations and process changes to improve efficiency and cost per unit shipped
• Monitor inbound transportation flows and collaborate with vendors and logistics partners to reduce receiving variance and improve appointment scheduling compliance

• Build and maintain operational dashboards tracking throughput, units per hour (UPH), order cycle time, dock utilization, and freight cost per unit
• Use data to identify trends, diagnose performance gaps, and prioritize engineering projects with the greatest operational impact
• Conduct cost‑benefit analyses for capital projects, automation investments, and process changes

• Work closely with DC operations leadership, transportation, IT, and merchandise allocation teams to align engineering initiatives with business priorities and seasonal volume plans
• Support peak season planning by developing staffing models, capacity scenarios, and process contingency plans for…
