• Identify technical points requiring clarification or presenting risks.
• Perform project cost estimates by integrating material costs, design, manufacturing, labor, tooling, subcontracting, packaging, and logistics.
• Determine industrial cost prices and expected margins.
• Evaluate project feasibility taking into account production capacities and organizational constraints.
• Collaborate with various internal departments (design office, automation, purchasing, methods, production, supply chain...) in order to collect the necessary information.
• Prepare technical files and contribute to the development of commercial offers.
• Present cost estimation hypotheses and justify technical choices to the sales teams.
• Adjust estimates based on technical developments or negotiations.
• Participate in the continuous improvement of costing methods by analyzing discrepancies between estimates and actual production costs.
• Update cost databases (raw materials, hourly rates, subcontracting, etc.).
• Contribute to the structuring and improvement of tools and databases dedicated to pre-projects.
• Propose technical and organizational optimizations to improve the competitiveness of offers.

You will evolve in an innovative industrial environment, where projects are varied, technically demanding, and international in scope. You will join a multidisciplinary team and participate in the design of tailor-made solutions, with real possibilities for skill development and professional evolution.

PROFILE:

• The ability to read and interpret mechanical and electrical plans.
• Good mastery of office tools, ERP, and CAD software.
