On behalf of our client, Rolls Royce, we are currently recruiting a Cost Engineer to join them on a 12 month Placement starting asap.

Rolls Royce Product Cost Engineering are to develop a tool and translate an established value-driven design methodology (a.ka. matrix of trades) for identification of low cost product system architectures. Application of this tool will be on 5 product system/sub-systems towards rapid evaluation of value trades. A product system family is a collection of generic artefacts (e.g. requirements, house-style product architectures) which combine to form the basis of a particular project-specific product system. This task is inherently complex due to the sheer number of systems/sub-systems/components that have to be considered for particular system architecture. Effective evaluation of product unit cost at this early stage in the design lifecycle is crucial towards ensuring a competitive business case.  Traditional sub-systems such as turbine, compressor sub-systems and novel manufacturing technologies are also in scope of the tool.
