Cost Estimator
As a Cost Estimator 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 technical documentation, bills of materials and production data into accurate cost price calculations. You ensure that every component of a machine or system is correctly converted into a reliable cost figure. Working closely with Sales, Engineering and Production, you make sure that quotations are technically sound and financially well substantiated.
What will you do?
- Analyse bills of materials (BOM), technical drawings and production information;
- Calculate material costs, machining hours and assembly times per component;
- Prepare detailed cost price calculations for machines and installations;
- Check and validate data to ensure a consistent and reliable quotation structure;
- Ensure accuracy and uniformity across all calculations;
- Align with engineering and production on technical assumptions and cost-related principles.
What makes this role attractive?
You work close to both technology and the quotation process within an international and dynamic environment. This gives you direct insight into how complex technical concepts are translated into concrete costs and competitive quotations for high-end manufacturing solutions – from handling systems to fully automated production lines.
As such, you are a vital link between design and realisation, directly contributing to well-founded decision-making within Sales and Engineering.
Can you quickly grasp complex challenges and effectively translate new information into clear, actionable insights? Then this could be your next challenge.
