About Clemens Food Group

For more than 130 years, Clemens Food Group has been guided by a simple principle: do the right thing. As a family-owned, fully integrated food manufacturing company, we operate across the entire supply chain—from raising livestock to delivering finished products. We combine tradition with innovation to produce quality food while building a culture where people are empowered to grow, contribute, and succeed.

Position Overview

As a Continuous Improvement Engineer, you will drive operational excellence initiatives focused on throughput, yield, labor efficiency, and cost improvement within a fast-paced food manufacturing environment. This role connects industrial engineering, process optimization, and continuous improvement execution while partnering closely with Operations, Maintenance, Quality, Reliability, Supply Chain, and R&D teams.

You will spend significant time on the plant floor identifying performance gaps, leading structured problem solving, implementing sustainable process improvements, and supporting the adoption of the Clemens Operating System (COS), including standard work, metrics, and daily management practices.

This is a 24/7 production facility. Team members may be required to provide multi-shift and weekend support on an as-needed basis.

Lead cross-functional improvement efforts with Operations, Maintenance, Quality, Reliability, Supply Chain, and R&D
Support planning, analysis, and execution of capital and process improvement initiatives
Support rollout and adoption of the Clemens Operating System (COS), including standard work, escalation processes, metrics, and daily management practices
Apply Lean Manufacturing, Kaizen, SPC, and Six Sigma tools to drive measurable operational improvements
Perform OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) analysis to optimize production performance

Technical Support & Operational Analysis (40%)

Develop and maintain labor standards using time studies, line balancing, and work measurement techniques
Analyze production performance gaps using operational data and root cause analysis
Maintain and audit SAP/ERP and MES system data related to labor, yield, and material standards
Track, analyze, and report key operational performance metrics
Support new product launches, plant trials, and commercialization activities in partnership with R&D teams
Develop SOPs, standard work, and training materials aligned to COS expectations
Support process design, costing, and implementation activities for operational initiatives

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field required
5+ years of experience in manufacturing, industrial engineering, continuous improvement, or process optimization
Experience in food manufacturing or high-speed production environments preferred
Demonstrated success leading Lean or continuous improvement initiatives in a production environment
Hands-on experience with labor optimization, time studies, process improvement, and operational problem solving
Experience with SAP/ERP systems, MES platforms, and production performance analytics
Knowledge of Lean Manufacturing, Kaizen, SPC, Six Sigma, and root cause analysis methodologies
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and data-driven decision-making skills
Ability to engage frontline teams, build operational partnerships, and drive accountability through disciplined execution
