At Aston Martin, we don’t just build cars — we create icons. Our Cost Engineering team plays a critical role in delivering profitable, world-class vehicles by setting and achieving material and investment cost targets, shaping engineering decisions through robust “should cost” insight.
We’re looking for a Lead Cost Engineer to bring deep manufacturing expertise and commercial acumen to influence product design, supplier engagement and cost performance across our programmes.
The Opportunity
You will lead the development of detailed “should cost” models, using benchmarking, tear-down analysis and engineering insight to challenge assumptions and drive cost-effective solutions. Working cross-functionally with Engineering and Procurement, you’ll help ensure technical decisions support both performance and profitability.
Key Responsibilities
About You
You’ll bring proven Cost Engineering experience, underpinned by a strong background in manufacturing or quality engineering. You understand how components are made — from process capability to finishing — and can translate this into robust cost insight.
Why Aston Martin
This is an opportunity to apply your expertise in a business where engineering excellence and craftsmanship are paramount. You’ll shape the cost strategy of cutting-edge vehicles, working with passionate teams to deliver sustainable, profitable growth.
