Logistics Engineer

What to Expect

The Logistics Engineer will support the design, development and implementation of internal logistics processes, delivery media, kitting strategies, system updates and lineside material flow standards across Logistics. Reporting to the Logistics Engineering Manager, the role is responsible for delivering day-to-day logistics engineering tasks that ensure parts are preserved, protected, presented and delivered efficiently from warehouse through to production line, supporting accurate Manufacturing Engineering routing, safe handling, efficient manufacturing, operational stability and successful new model launch readiness.

This is a hands-on engineering role within Logistics, supporting Manufacturing, Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Facilities, Health and Safety and operational logistics teams. The successful candidate will help deliver internal material flow improvements, delivery media solutions, lineside presentation standards and practical logistics engineering activities within a fast-paced, premium automotive environment.

• Support the design and optimisation of internal logistics processes from warehouse through to lineside, helping to ensure safe, efficient and repeatable part flow into production.
• Support the definition and implementation of lineside feed strategies that meet manufacturing requirements, reduce handling touches, minimise lineside footprint and improve part presentation for operators.
• Develop and maintain kitting strategies, sequencing principles and replenishment processes that support build requirements, minimise operator disruption and enable controlled material presentation at the point of use.
• Implement updates to 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.
• Support the design, specification, trial and implementation of 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.
• Apply part preservation standards across internal logistics processes, ensuring delivery media, kitting methods, handling routes and storage points prevent damage, contamination, misplacement and unnecessary exposure.
• Create and maintain standard operating procedures, layouts, process flows and work instructions that improve process control, productivity, safety and repeatability across internal logistics operations.
• Maintain logistics master data, system parameters and process information required to support accurate Manufacturing Engineering routings, warehouse-to-line movements, delivery methods and point-of-use presentation.
• Ensure system updates reflect agreed physical logistics processes, including storage location, pick method, delivery route, kitting requirement, kanban trigger, sequencing logic and lineside destination.
• 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.

• Deliver assigned logistics engineering tasks and project work from concept through to implementation, supporting agreed timing, cost, quality, safety and operational performance targets.
• Support 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…
