SalaryN/AWhat to Expect
** Role

Purpose:

** The Logistics Engineering Manager will lead the design, development and implementation of internal logistics processes, delivery media, kitting strategies and lineside material flow standards across Logistics. The role is accountable for ensuring parts are preserved, protected, presented and delivered efficiently from warehouse through to production line, enabling safe handling, efficient manufacturing, operational stability and successful new model launch readiness.
** Why This Role Matters:
** This is a high-impact role at the centre of Logistics Engineering and Manufacturing support, working cross-functionally with Manufacturing, Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Facilities, Health and Safety and operational logistics teams. The successful candidate will shape future-state internal material flow, delivery media, lineside presentation standards and engineered logistics solutions within a fast-paced, premium automotive environment.

What You'll Do Internal Logistics Process Design and Material Flow:
· Lead the design and optimisation of internal logistics processes from warehouse through to lineside, ensuring safe, efficient and repeatable part flow into production.
· Define and implement lineside feed strategies that support manufacturing requirements, reduce handling touches, minimise lineside footprint and improve part presentation for operators.
· Define and implement kitting strategies, sequencing principles and replenishment processes that support build requirements, minimise operator disruption and enable controlled material presentation at the point of use.
· Adapt logistics processes, kitting methods, delivery frequencies and lineside presentation standards in response to production line changes, model mix, takt requirements, engineering changes and operational constraints.
· Design, specify and implement appropriate delivery media, stillages, trolleys, dollies, carts and point-of-use presentation solutions to protect parts and support efficient production processes.
· Ensure all internal delivery media and logistics processes maintain part protection, ergonomic handling, quality standards and safe movement from multiple warehouses to the production line, using appropriate formats such as kanban, kitting and sequenced delivery.
· Establish part preservation standards across internal logistics processes, ensuring delivery media, kitting methods, handling routes and storage points prevent damage, contamination, misplacement and unnecessary exposure.
· Develop and implement standard operating procedures, layouts, process flows and work instructions that improve process control, productivity, safety and repeatability across internal logistics operations.
· Apply lean manufacturing and logistics engineering principles to remove waste, optimise flow, improve productivity and support a practical “one touch logistics” approach where feasible.
· Work with Packaging, Warehouse and Material Planning teams to ensure inbound packaging solutions transition effectively into internal delivery media and lineside presentation requirements.

Logistics Engineering, Projects and Launch Readiness:
· Lead logistics engineering projects from concept through to implementation, ensuring delivery against agreed timing, cost, quality, safety and operational performance targets.
· Drive Logistics launch readiness for new vehicle programmes, including internal process design, delivery media readiness, lineside layouts, part presentation, risk mitigation and production support.
· Ensure kitting, sequencing and lineside delivery processes are designed and validated ahead of launch or production change points, with clear contingency plans to protect build continuity.
· Develop logistics concepts, process maps, layouts, capacity assumptions and implementation plans to…
