Are you a technically skilled Calculator or Cost Engineer who enjoys working on complex projects and developing reliable cost estimates?
From our office in Nieuw-Lekkerland, you will work on challenging custom-made projects for clients in the Netherlands and abroad. You translate technical designs, specifications, and customer requirements into well-founded cost calculations and quotations. In doing so, you combine technical expertise, analytical skills, and a keen eye for risks, manufacturability, and costs.
You work closely with colleagues from Engineering, Sales, Procurement, and Production and play an important role in the success of our projects.
What will you do?
Your place within Bayards
As a Calculator | Cost Engineer, you will be part of the commercial project team at Bayards Aluminium Solutions. You will work closely with colleagues from Sales, Engineering, Procurement, and Production and play an important role in securing new projects.
You are often one of the first people to assess a new customer enquiry in detail. You analyse technical feasibility, determine costs, and identify risks and opportunities. In doing so, you lay the foundation for a competitive and realistic proposal.
Through your expertise, you make a significant contribution to assessing the feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and competitiveness of new projects. This gives you direct influence on the success of contracts before projects even move into execution.
You will work on a wide variety of custom-made projects for clients at home and abroad. No enquiry is ever the same, and that variety is exactly what makes this role so interesting.
Who are we looking for?
Experience in the aluminium industry is not required. We also strongly encourage candidates from steel construction, structural engineering, mechanical engineering, offshore, maritime, or other technical project-based organisations to apply. Most importantly, you recognise yourself in a role where engineering, estimating, and project-based work come together.
We would especially like to hear from candidates with experience as:
What do you bring?
Why this role?
While many estimating positions revolve around standard products, at Bayards you will work on technically challenging custom-made projects. No two enquiries are alike.
You will have the opportunity to actively contribute to technical solutions, feasibility assessments, and project risk evaluations. As a result, you have a direct impact on project success long before execution starts.
The combination of engineering, commercial awareness, and cost analysis makes this role particularly attractive to professionals who want to look beyond the numbers.
What do we offer?
A varied role with significant responsibility and impact. You will contribute to unique custom-made projects within an internationally operating and innovative organisation. In return, you will have plenty of room for initiative, professional development, and collaboration with experienced colleagues from different disciplines.
Working at Bayards means working in a dynamic, growing, and highly specialised company where engineering, quality, and craftsmanship are at the heart of everything we do.
We work under the Dutch Metalektro Collective Labour Agreement (CAO Metalektro) and offer excellent employment conditions:
Can you see yourself in this role, but do not fully meet all the requirements or employment conditions? We would still encourage you to apply. We are happy to explore the possibilities together.
