Job description

Senior Cost Manager / Associate Cost Manager | Aviation

London Airport / London / Hybrid
£65,000 – £75,000 + Package

I’m looking for a Senior Cost Manager who can step into a client-facing role on a major aviation programme currently at a very early stage.

This is very much a front-end cost management position.

You’ll take responsibility for costing as the design develops, working closely with the client and design team rather than managing the construction contract.

The opportunity:

• Lead the costing process through the design stages

• Manage senior client and stakeholder relationships

• Review and oversee cost information

• Support and develop a junior Cost Manager

• Work on a major, long-term aviation programme

• Circa 3 days at a London Airport, with flexibility across home and the London office

Chartered status would be preferred but isn’t essential.

Aviation experience would also be a significant advantage, although strong Cost Managers from other major infrastructure environments will be considered.

This could suit an established Senior Cost Manager or someone looking to make that next step towards Associate level.
