Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your expertise in cost analysis and engineering in a cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside a collaborative and innovative team of professionals.

You’ll play a key role in estimating and optimising the technical cost of parts and assemblies for our rolling stock and mobility solutions. Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business, including engineering, sourcing, and procurement, to promote a cost-conscious culture, support design-to-cost initiatives, and much more.

You’ll specifically take care of developing and refining costing tools and methodologies, but also contribute to setting new standards for cost efficiency and competitiveness.

We’ll look to you for:

• Using advanced cost models to calculate and optimise the technical cost of products and assemblies.
• Identifying and analysing key cost drivers, proposing design and process improvements to reduce costs.
• Supporting the engineering team in adopting a design-to-cost mindset throughout the product lifecycle.
• Collaborating with sourcing and procurement teams, providing negotiation support with robust cost breakdowns and “should cost” analyses.
• Leading or contributing to technical and economic business cases, benchmarks, and target cost setting for tenders and projects.
• Promoting cost culture and sharing best practices across engineering, industrial, and sourcing teams.
