(Senior) Cost and Value Engineer

Are you either an experienced or associate Cost and Value Engineer looking for a new opportunity? Look no further.

The purpose of the team is to ensure that Onshore Wind reaches ambitious profitability targets and continues being a best-in-class developer across all markets.

The team has two main focus areas. One is Business Intelligence with five Product Managers focusing on cost and value engineering services – as Cost and Value Engineer you will be part of this team. The second area is the Levelised Cost of Electricity (LCoE) program management consisting of five Program Managers. They focus on the implementation of technical and commercial solutions to improve the profitability of the development portfolio. You will work very closely with this group, and with colleagues from other departments, such as Market Development, Procurement and Project Delivery.

We are a group of high-performance, energetic and talented people with diverse backgrounds, nationalities, ages, and interests. If you are looking to take responsibility, make an impact, and help define the future of the renewable energy landscape, we would love to talk to you!

In the LCoE Performance team, we value the entrepreneurial mindset, and the scientific basis for solutions and recommendations, and will go the extra mile to help our colleagues. We work to be the “best team to work” in and expect you to take an active part in achieving this.

As a Cost and Value Engineer, you will take on a varied number of key responsibilities, depending on your level of experience. As we are a larger team with varied backgrounds, you should also apply if you have experience within only some of them.

• Support asset development projects by providing project-specific CAPEX and OPEX estimates throughout the entire development and procurement phases.
• Develop and implement models and databases to advance the Business Intelligence strategy, optimize processes for data management and digitalization and contribute to improving data maturity.
• Develop renewable energy plant simulation tools to evaluate the impact of different project and portfolio initiatives, and analyse market trends, competitive landscape, and supplier feedback to identify opportunities.
• Participate in the development of the team and department strategy.
