Join to apply for the GSD Work Study Analyst role at Jonsson Workwear .

From concept to final stitch, every Jonsson Workwear garment is meticulously designed and developed for performance. But before our workwear goes into production, each detail is fine-tuned to ensure it's ready for efficient, high-quality manufacturing.

Driving our production excellence are those who engineer and refine our manufacturing processes. To ensure our manufacturing teams continue operating at their best, we're looking for a methodical, improvement-focused IEES Analyst to join our Garment Technology team in Durban.

• Use GSD methodology to create accurate labour breakdowns for costing, aligned with the latest and most efficient manufacturing methods.
• Ensure labour breakdowns take into account available machinery, current line setups and the skills in each factory.
• Observe and audit factory lines to identify smarter ways of working, and provide optimal line balances that maximise efficiency across teams.
• Maintain alignment between costed SMVs and actual SMVs for pre-production and bulk production, by style.
• Analyse quality results and recommend improvements for smoother, more efficient production.

The skills and experience that will make you a solid fit for this role:

• A relevant qualification in Work Study, with a proven track record in operational breakdowns, line balancing and applying GSD standards.
• A sound understanding of the sewing manufacturing industry.
• Studying toward, or completed, a qualification in Industrial Engineering would be an added advantage.
