About the role
Working within our established engineering team, the role is based out of our Cardiff workshop.

Key Responsibilities:
* Review blueprints, drawings, and specifications, understanding customer requirements, tolerances, and machining processes needed
* Estimate material needs, selecting appropriate raw stock, factoring in waste, and obtaining material costs
* Liaise with sub-contract companies to collate manufacturing costs required
* Evaluate tooling requirements, and decide if new tooling or fixtures are necessary, adding them into the estimate as required
* Prepare detailed cost breakdowns, creating itemised estimates to cover material, labor, overhead, and profit margins
* Liaise with sub-contract companies to ensure manufacturing deadlines are met and production/assembly sits within quality parameters.
* Collaborate with the operations team to ensure estimates are realistic and achievable
* Monitor the costs at different stages of each project to ensure it stays within the estimated costs
* Manage the sourcing suppliers and negotiating prices
* Keep up to date with industry standards, technologies, and materials that impact cost
* General other duties as required from time to time
Essentials:
* Hold a full, clean, UK driving license
* Proven experience of good IT skills; this role involves frequent use of technology
* Good at communicating with people at all levels – both internally and customer facing
* Strong mathematical and analytical abilities for calculating costs
