As a Cost Engineer within the Business Unit General Industry, you will work on challenging, innovative projects in an international and dynamic environment. You play a key role in preparing competitive quotations for high-end manufacturing solutions – ranging from handling systems to complex, fully automated production lines.

You translate complex technical information and large amounts of data into clear and reliable cost price calculations. In doing so, you work closely with Sales, Supply Chain, Production and Finance to structure all relevant information and translate it into one consistent cost overview.

Specifically, this means that you:

• Calculate cost prices of machines and production lines based on materials, engineering hours and assembly;
• Provide insight into cost structures and the assumptions underlying quotations;
• Contribute ideas on cost optimisation and manufacturability in collaboration with engineering and production;
• Combine data from various sources into one clear cost overview;
• Contribute to international projects and alignment with foreign subsidiaries.

More than just calculations
In addition to preparing cost calculations, you play an active role in improving our internal processes. You provide input for purchasing, resource planning and the further optimisation of our calculation methodology. You also identify trends in cost developments, both internally and in the market, and share these insights with the sales team so they can make better-informed decisions.
