About the job
Join Rotork as a critical player in shaping the future of our innovative product development initiatives. As the Cost Engineering Lead, you will be integral to our Global Supply Chain team, closely collaborating with the New Product Development (NPD) unit. In this pivotal role, you will integrate cost engineering, manufacturability, and supply chain insights from the inception of product design, facilitating informed decision-making and driving the creation of competitive, sustainable, and high-quality product solutions.
Reporting directly to the Global Category Manager, you will advance our procurement strategy within the organization. You will spearhead the development of a comprehensive Cost Engineering methodology that emphasizes cost efficiency, sustainability, and customer satisfaction. Your responsibilities will include defining and implementing a structured, organization-wide Cost Engineering framework that aligns with Rotork's business goals, utilizing LeanCost and Hyperlean to establish robust cost models, and contributing to ESG and GHG emissions assessments and product life-cycle cost analyses as relevant. You will also champion the continuous improvement of cost engineering processes within the Global Supply Chain and NPD framework.
This opportunity is ideal for a proactive problem-solver with extensive experience in cost analysis. You will collaborate with strategic suppliers to create cost models, pinpoint cost drivers, and launch cost reduction initiatives. You will also support should-cost negotiations in partnership with Category Managers and Procurement teams, engaging suppliers early in the NPD process to ensure manufacturability, scalability, and cost optimization.
