Job Title: Industrial Production Engineer — Wood Manufacturing
Department: Production / Factory Operations
Reports To: Plant Manager / Production Director
JOB SUMMARY
The Industrial Production Engineer (Wood Manufacturing) is responsible for optimizing woodworking processes, improving furniture and cabinetry assembly lines, and maximizing raw material utilization (timber/MDF). This role focuses on streamlining shop-floor workflows, reducing wood waste, and ensuring high-quality output while maintaining strict factory safety standards.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Woodworking Process Optimization: Design, evaluate, and refine wood cutting, sanding, edge-banding, and finishing workflows to reduce cycle times and material waste.

• Production Planning & Line Layout: Optimize factory floor layouts for woodworking machinery (CNC routers, panel saws, press machines) and set Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for assembly lines.

• Continuous Improvement: Lead Lean, 5S, and Kaizen initiatives to eliminate bottlenecking during cutting, assembly, and spray-painting/varnishing stages.

• Quality & Safety Assurance: Ensure raw materials (timber, veneers, hardware) and finished products meet specifications, while enforcing strict dust-control and wood-shop safety compliance.

• Equipment & Yield Management: Monitor machine efficiency (OEE), troubleshoot machinery technical issues, and calculate yield rates to maximize sheet usage.

• Data & Reporting: Track daily production targets, scrap/waste rates, and labor hours to report key metrics to factory management.

REQUIREMENTS & QUALIFICATIONS

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Production Engineering, or Mechanical Engineering.

• Experience: 2–5 years of experience in a wood, furniture, or joinery manufacturing plant.

• Technical Skills:

• Proficiency in CAD software (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or WoodWOP/Cabinet Vision) for shop drawings and cut-list preparation.

• Hands-on knowledge of woodworking machinery (CNC machines, edge banders, beam saws, and painting lines).

• Deep understanding of Lean Manufacturing, 5S, and yield optimization techniques for timber and wood panels.

• Competencies: Strong technical problem-solving, project management, and effective communication with factory supervisors and machine operators.
