  • Supplier Coordination: Collaborate with suppliers and vendors to obtain competitive pricing for materials, components, and services.
  • Budget Management: Assist in developing project budgets and monitor expenses throughout the production process to ensure adherence to budgetary constraints.
  • Project Management: Coordinate and manage project timelines, resources, and deliverables to ensure timely completion and adherence to project objectives.
  • Documentation: Maintain detailed records of project estimates, bids, and related documentation for reference and audit purposes.
  • Communication: Communicate effectively with project managers, clients, suppliers, and other stakeholders to ensure clarity and consensus on project requirements and cost estimates.
  • Continuous Improvement: Stay abreast of industry trends, best practices, and technological advancements in manufacturing estimation techniques to enhance efficiency and accuracy.

Does this sound like the right challenge for you?

So, what’s in it for you?

  • Work in a business with global scale – where people are empowered to make decisions locally.
  • Grow with a company which has big ambitions – both for the business and our employees.
  • Help us improve the shopping experience and drive sustainability in retail.
  • Competitive salary and benefits and a collaborative and supportive work environment.

So, who are you?

  • A relevant qualification in Manufacturing Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field is desirable.
  • Proven experience as an Estimator in the manufacturing industry.
  • Proficiency in cost estimation software and MS Office Suite.
  • Strong analytical skills and attention to detail.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
