🔹 Support bid and proposal activity by producing robust cost justification and commercial analysis

🔹 Carry out variance analysis comparing estimated vs actual costs to improve future costing accuracy

🔹 Work closely with Engineering, Operations and Supply Chain teams to ensure operational realities are reflected within pricing models

🔹 Identify commercial, operational and compliance risks within costing and pricing assumptions

🔹 Support supplier cost analysis and negotiation activity alongside sourcing teams

🔹 Drive continuous improvement across costing, pricing and operational analysis processes, including SAP S4/HANA optimisation initiatives

🔹 Contribute to improving data quality, pricing consistency and commercial decision-making across the business

You’ll be joining a business with:

✅ Complex engineered products

• Estimating, commercial analysis or pricing

• Supply chain, sourcing or manufacturing finance

• Complex product or assembly-based industries
