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.
