As a Procurement Cost Engineer, you will gather and analyze design and cost data to build and maintain cost models for supporting Sales with budgets and build and maintain related should-cost models, compare these estimates with supplier quotes, and prepare reports to identify cost saving opportunities. Your detailed cost analysis will support procurement negotiations, and you will contribute to refining cost modeling processes and tools.

Responsibilities

  • Gather and analyze cost-related data from various sources, including raw material prices, labor rates, and manufacturing processes to support the development of cost models and should-cost models at the component, assembly, or system level
  • Perform cost maintenance and design related updates, on Computer Aided Pricing software tool (CAP) equipment records and track and report cost differences between product lifecycle milestones records
  • (Current state) Item selection for CAP records
  • Build and maintain detailed (should) cost models including cost drivers of current and future products and services that provide insights into the theoretical minimum costs for products and services, with input from technology information
  • Maintain and set-up equipment cost calculations in Computer Aided Cost Estimation software tool (Facton EPC)
  • Compare should-cost estimates with supplier quotes and market prices, and prepare reports highlighting discrepancies and potential cost-saving opportunities
  • Provide detailed cost analysis to support procurement negotiations with suppliers, helping to achieve favorable terms and cost reductions. Be an active member of the procurement negotiation team with suppliers
  • Contribute to the refinement of cost modeling processes and tools, suggesting improvements based on feedback and evolving business needs

  • Proficiency in data visualization tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau, Excel) to effectively communicate financial and cost insights. Set scope and find internal support at other departments, in putting together reporting & visualization
  • Advanced skills in conducting should-cost modeling to assess product and service cost drivers and total cost of ownership (TCO)
  • Ability to independently handle ad-hoc cost engineering and analysis requests alongside the creation of recurring reports
  • Proven experience in translating technological design data into financial cost data and being able to determine cost drivers, using known cost engineering techniques
  • Knowledge / experience in cost engineering (CE) and value engineering (VE)
  • Proven experience in Data Management (JDE, and Enovia) & Tools (Computer Aided Cost Estimation Software (Facton EPC) and/or CAP)
