As a Cost Engineer, you play a crucial role in creating winning bids, contributing to smart, cost-efficient solutions for our international customers. The main challenge is to translate conceptual ideas into a realistic cost price. In doing so, you use large amounts of data and translate complex information into clear insights. You achieve this by working closely with the sales team and being in regular contact with your colleagues from Supply Chain, Production and Finance. Through your feeling for figures and data, you recognise patterns in cost price calculations, whereby your technical insight helps you translate a technical concept into a feasible cost price.

Due to the many projects you are working on simultaneously, you can expect a lot of dynamics in your daily work. Think of the following: calculating the cost price of machines by providing insight into the individual components (material) and hours for programming, assembling and optimising the process (hours). In addition, you will help think through the cost factors of complete production lines and indicate what is needed to make a correct cost price. In our international playing field, you also have regular contact with colleagues from foreign locations.

As a Cost Engineer, you will also contribute to our internal process, including procurement and (resource) planning. Moreover, you will actively contribute to the continuous improvement of the process by participating in the feedback loop. This is crucial to maintain a keen insight into actual costs as a sales team. You also provide insight into cost trends, both in the market and internally.
