About the role
Are you as passionate about analysing of manufacturing costs as we are? If so, we believe that this role would fit you perfectly!
As a Senior Cost Engineer, you will engage not only in polymer processes such as injection moulding, blow moulding, and thermoforming but also with diverse materials like foams, fabrics, ceramics, and more. This presents an exciting opportunity for you to use your technical skills at the forefront of technology.
Product development and sourcing processes will keep your day busy. And with your analytical mindset, you will deep dive into the overall financial constraints of in-depth manufacturing process steps to maintain the competitiveness of our vehicles.
With your passion for finance, you will analyze the cost of Hardware components and systems for new truck projects. And don’t worry – if you haven't worked with costing of manufacture processes before, you will learn all about it when joining us. In other words, you will soon become an expert in cost target settings. You'll also dig into activity-based cost breakdowns for components and systems, all based on the applicable manufacturing process. Being a part of our team means being valued for who you are and what you do. Welcome to an interesting role with great people around you.
