SBM Life Science is committed to reconnecting people with nature by offering innovative and responsible solutions and services to its customers and consumers for their plants, gardens, and living spaces. Our portfolio includes solutions for plant protection, lawn care, soil and seed treatment, plant food, and pest and mosquito control products to meet consumers’ needs to Nourish, Beautify, Maintain, and Defend.\nSBM Life Science North America is headquartered in North Carolina, with a manufacturing facility in Pasadena, TX and a distribution center in Mont Belvieu, TX.\nAbout the Role\nSBM Life Science is seeking an experienced Industrial Engineer for a six-month, onsite project assignment at our Distribution Center in Mont Belvieu, Texas. This role is specifically focused on improving distribution center operations, including operational efficiency, process flow, warehouse system readiness, and performance visibility.\nThe Industrial Engineer will assess how work is performed today, document current-state processes, design improved future-state workflows, and help turn improvement opportunities into practical process and system changes. The IE will support system enhancements through disciplined User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and establishing a practical KPI and measurement program that gives Distribution Center leadership reliable data to identify issues, prioritize actions, and measure results.\nWe are looking for a hands-on Industrial engineer for a six-month project who is comfortable working on the warehouse floor, partnering with operations and IT, and independently driving a time-bound improvement project from analysis through implementation and handoff.\nKey Responsibilities\nProcess Improvement & Workflow Design\nDocument current-state process flows for priority Distribution Center operations and develop future-state workflows that improve efficiency, clarity, and operational flow.\n\nIdentify bottlenecks, waste, rework, handoff gaps, and root causes, and develop practical solutions to address them.\n\nEstablish baseline performance and use post-change data to quantify and validate improvements.\n\nSystems Improvement & User Acceptance Testing\nTranslate operational and future-state process needs into clear business and system requirements for WMS, ERP, RF, and related warehouse technologies.\n\nDevelop structured UAT protocols, including test scenarios, scripts, expected results, pass/fail criteria, defect tracking, retesting, and sign-off.\n\nCoordinate testing with Distribution Center users and IT/system resources to ensure testing reflects actual warehouse operating conditions.\n\nKPI, Measurement & Reporting\nBuild recurring reports and dashboards that provide meaningful visibility into productivity, throughput, quality, inventory, service, and labor performance.\n\nAnalyze performance data to help Distribution Center leadership identify issues, prioritize improvement opportunities, and monitor results.\n\nCreate user-friendly documentation and guidance so reporting and measurement processes can be sustained after the assignment.\n\nOperational Efficiency & Project Execution\nConduct time studies, work measurement, capacity and labor analysis, and layout/material-flow reviews as needed to support improvement decisions.\n\nDevelop clear process and project documentation to support successful implementation and handoff to Distribution Center leadership.\n\nQualifications\nBachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering or a related field.\n\n4+ years of experience in industrial engineering, warehouse/distribution operations, and operational process improvement.\n\nHands-on experience developing current-state and future-state process maps and applying Lean, root-cause analysis, standard work, or similar continuous-improvement methods.\n\nStrong Excel, data analysis, KPI/reporting, and dashboard development skills.\n\nStrong analytical and systems-thinking skills with the ability to connect processes, people, data, and technology.\n\nAbility to independently organize priorities, manage project milestones, identify risks, and deliver measurable results within a six-month assignment.\n\nExperience with Blue Yonder or a similar Warehouse Management System (WMS).\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\nAt the conclusion of this six-month assignment, the successful Industrial Engineer will have helped SBM establish clearer and more efficient Distribution Center processes, strengthened system testing and readiness, implemented meaningful performance measures, and provided the tools and documentation needed for the team to sustain improvements going forward.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4737,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Biotechnology","Chemical
