The role analyses workflow, service times and resource utilisation to design and implement standardised operating procedures, reduce waste, and improve throughput, cost and customer experience across restaurant operations. Working closely with Operations and store teams, the Industrial Engineer leads continuous-improvement initiatives and translates data-driven insights into practical, measurable performance gains.Responsibilities :\nProcess analysis & optimisation - map and analyse restaurant, kitchen and service workflows to identify bottlenecks, eliminate waste and improve flow.\nLabour & capacity modelling - develop labour standards, staffing models and capacity plans that match demand patterns and optimise workforce deployment.\nWork measurement & standards - conduct time-and-motion studies and establish standard operating procedures and productivity benchmarks.\nContinuous improvement - lead improvement initiatives to reduce cycle time, equipment downtime, cost and variability while maintaining quality, safety and food-safety standards.\nLayout & equipment optimisation - design and evaluate restaurant and kitchen layouts and equipment configurations to maximise efficiency and speed of service.\nData analysis & reporting - collect, analyse and report operational data (service times, throughput, waste, labour) to inform decision-making.\nProject management - manage improvement projects from feasibility and cost-benefit analysis through to implementation and hand-over.\nStakeholder collaboration & training - partner with operations teams to roll out new standards and train store teams on optimised processes.\nRequirements :\nA minimum of 2-3 years' experience as an Industrial Engineer, preferably within a quick-service restaurant (QSR), retail, hospitality or other high-volume operations environment.\nDemonstrated experience in process optimisation, work study, labour and capacity modelling, and continuous improvement (Lean / Six Sigma).\nPractical experience managing improvement projects end-to-end and partnering with operational stakeholders to implement and sustain change.\nBachelor's Degree - BEng / BSc (Eng), NQF Level 7 (required)\nLean Six Sigma certification - Green or Black Belt (advantageous)\nProject Management certification (advantageous)\nExperience with Industrial engineering principles, methods and tools , time-and-motion and work-measurement techniques, and workforce/demand modelling, Process mapping, simulation and layout design.\nData analysis and statistical tools (e.g. Excel, Power BI)\nExperience with Health, safety and food-safety standards (advantageous)\nOwn vehicle and a valid driver's license.\nWilling to travel throughout South Africa.","description_format":"text","description_chars":2924,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"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":["Professional Services","Human Resources","Recruiting Software & ATS"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-29T13:23:43Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":21,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":0.4,"p_active":0.57,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":15,"expected_fill_days":33,"reasons":["conf:376","stale_co","velocity","win:mid","comp:junior,brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-15T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/simplify-hr-proprietary-limited-industrial-engineer-2","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/simplify-hr-proprietary-limited-industrial-engineer-2.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-15T16:56:38Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":25724,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-16T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1891733},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1891733"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fsimplify-hr-proprietary-limited-industrial-engineer-2"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fsimplify-hr-proprietary-limited-industrial-engineer-2"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fsimplify-hr-proprietary-limited-industrial-engineer-2"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/simplify-hr-proprietary-limited-industrial-engineer-2\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fsimplify-hr-proprietary-limited-industrial-engineer-2"}]}
