Product Cost Engineer
About this role
We are looking for a Product Cost Engineer for our global manufacturing unit. As a Product Cost Engineer, you will have end to end ownership of how manufacturing costs are understood, challenged, and used to drive smarter pricing, stronger profitability, and better strategic choices.
In this role, your analyses will directly support tendering decisions, manufacturing footprint choices, and long term business strategy. You’ll build and refine manufacturing cost models with a holistic view of total product cost, while tracking actuals to continuously improve accuracy and transparency.
You are trusted to challenge assumptions around labor, productivity, methods, and cost structures, turning data into facts. Working cross functionally and across production units in Finland, India, and China, you gain a global perspective and help shape how cost data is used across the organization.
If you enjoy combining deep analytical work with visible business impact, and you like having the mandate to question, improve, and influence the way things are done, this role offers a unique and rewarding opportunity.
