We’ll look to you for:

• Calculating the technical cost of products and systems

• Generating ideas for design improvement

• Participating in the creation of target costs for tenders and projects

• Promoting cost awareness within the Design Engineering team

• Comparing and analyzing benchmarks of similar projects

• Contributing to achieving project cost targets
