Experience

Industrial Engineering Technologist, Australian Manufacturing Group (AMG) -- Sydney, Australia

Jan 2021 – present

• Led a project to re-engineer assembly line workflows, reducing average product assembly time by 12% and increasing daily output by 8%.

• Implemented a new inventory management system, resulting in a 10% decrease in raw material waste and a 5% reduction in carrying costs.

• Conducted detailed time and motion studies across production departments, identifying bottlenecks and proposing solutions that improved overall labour efficiency by 15%.

• Developed and delivered training programs for production staff on new operational procedures and safety protocols, enhancing compliance and reducing incident rates by 20%.

• Utilised simulation software (e.g., Arena, FlexSim) to model proposed changes to production layouts, predicting a 7% improvement in material flow efficiency before physical implementation.

Junior Industrial Engineering Technician, Pacific Logistics Solutions -- Sydney, Australia

July 2019 – Dec 2020

• Assisted in the analysis of warehouse operations, contributing to a project that optimised picking routes and reduced order fulfilment time by 9%.

• Collected and analysed data on equipment utilisation and maintenance schedules, recommending adjustments that extended equipment lifespan by an average of 18 months.

• Participated in the development of ergonomic assessments for workstation design, improving operator comfort and reducing reported musculoskeletal strains by 15%.
