About the Role We are recruiting an Aerostructure Cost Engineer to join a world-leading aerospace organisation, supporting cost modelling and design-to-cost activities across major aircraft programmes. This is an exciting opportunity to work at the centre of engineering, manufacturing, and commercial decision‑making — helping shape cost‑effective, next‑generation aerostructures. You will join a highly respected Cost Engineering team, providing neutral, data‑driven costing insight to influence design, manufacturing solutions, and supplier negotiations across composite and metallic structures. Key Responsibilities Develop recurring (RC) and non‑recurring (NRC) cost estimates for aerostructure components, primarily in composites. Use digital costing tools, models and structured methods to provide accurate, consistent cost analysis. Support Design-to-Cost (DtC) activities from early concept through to industrialisation and entry into service. Analyse detailed work package estimates, identify cost‑saving opportunities, and present recommendations to engineering and programme teams. Provide manufacturing cost insight for multiple aircraft programmes. Support and challenge suppliers during cost reviews and negotiations. Ensure costing outputs are neutral, traceable, and aligned to best‑practice processes. Skills & Experience Required Essential Strong background in engineering or manufacturing (preferably aerospace). Solid understanding of composite, metallic, machining, fabrication, or assembly processes. Ability to interpret engineering data, drawings, and manufacturing flows. Experience in design‑for‑manufacture, industrialisation, cost reduction or similar. Analytical mindset with the ability to break down complex processes into cost drivers. Clear communication and stakeholder management skills. Desirable Experience supporting Design-to-Cost initiatives. Exposure to cost modelling tools or costing methods. Supplier‑facing engineering experience. Degree in Engineering or equivalent industry experience. Why Apply? Work on high‑profile aircraft programmes with significant technical impact. Long‑term contract with extension potential. Join a collaborative team at the forefront of aerospace manufacturing technology and cost engineering. Develop deep expertise in composite and metallic aerostructure costing. How to Apply If you have a strong manufacturing/engineering background and want a role combining engineering insight with strategic cost analysis, we’d love to hear from you.
