About the job
Join Rotork as a pivotal Cost Engineering Lead, where you will play an essential role in driving the successful development of innovative products. Embedded within the Global Supply Chain and New Product Development (NPD) teams, you will integrate cost engineering principles, manufacturability insights, and supply chain strategies from the initial stages of product design. This critical position supports informed decision-making, ensuring that our product solutions are competitive, sustainable, and robust.
Reporting to the Global Category Manager, your mission will involve enhancing our procurement function and developing a comprehensive Cost Engineering methodology across the Rotork group. Your focus will include cost reduction, sustainability, and customer satisfaction. You will define and implement a structured, group-wide Cost Engineering approach aligned with Rotork's business objectives, leveraging LeanCost and Hyperlean techniques to create transparent and effective cost models. Additionally, you will contribute to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives, assess greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and perform product life-cycle cost analyses when relevant.
This position is ideal for a proactive problem-solver skilled in cost analysis. You will collaborate with strategic suppliers to develop effective cost models, identify key cost drivers, and execute cost reduction strategies. Your role will also involve supporting should-cost negotiations in collaboration with Category Managers and Procurement teams, and engaging suppliers early in the NPD process to ensure manufacturability, scalability, and cost optimization.
