Industrial Engineering & Facilities Consultant

Accenture Federal Services is dedicated to helping the US federal government enhance national security and improve citizens' lives. As an Industrial Engineering & Facilities Consultant, you will lead engineering and operations workstreams in manufacturing and warehousing, focusing on process flows and operational improvements.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the gathering and validation of operational datasets across manufacturing lines, storage systems, material handling, workforce patterns, quality issues, and facility constraints
• Conduct in‑depth Industrial engineering analysis—including time studies, throughput modeling, labor and equipment utilization, workflow bottlenecks, and quality/performance diagnostics—across factory or warehouse environments
• Define and structure model inputs such as layouts, constraints, resource requirements, shift patterns, throughput assumptions, and quality parameters; run scenario analyses and interpret operational implications
• Develop decision‑ready visuals and narrative summaries that clearly communicate findings and operational recommendations
• Maintain detailed process maps, facility layouts, SOPs, and operational assumptions that support modeling, modernization, and continuous‑improvement activities
• Lead engagements with manufacturing, quality, engineering, warehousing, and logistics teams to gather requirements, clarify operational realities, and shape analytical or modernization approaches
• Guide junior analysts, review work outputs, and ensure analytical and operational rigor across facility/IE workstreams

Requirements:

• 4–8 years of experience in industrial engineering, manufacturing operations, warehousing, distribution, quality engineering, or facilities/process improvement (Exposure to DoD depots, arsenals, logistics centers, or maintenance facilities may offset required years of experience)
• Demonstrated success leading IE or operations workstreams (time studies, throughput/flow modeling, labor standards, facility layout evaluations, bottleneck analysis, quality investigations)
• Experience preparing structured inputs for facility, warehouse, or manufacturing models; familiarity with simulation or facility/digital‑twin tools preferred
• Proficiency with Excel; familiarity with SQL or analytics tooling (Python/R) is a plus
• Experience supporting or advising stakeholders and presenting operational recommendations
• Experience mentoring or reviewing the work of junior team members
• Familiarity with simulation or facility/digital‑twin tools
• Lean Six Sigma certification is a plus
