Nature of work: 

Your responsibilities will include (but are not limited to); 

  • This is a great opportunity to get hands on experience in a manufacturing environment and learn about the inner workings of how standard costs are developed and maintained.

    • Work closely with manufacturing engineers to ensure BOM & Routing  are aligned with current production procedures

Why is this important: Standard Cost is the foundation for ensuring a plant is running efficiently and that we are going to market with the most accurate costs to produce finished products. This helps to ensure that we aren’t pricing ourselves out of the market, and ensures that we aren’t selling finished products below cost. Success in achieving the above mentioned items will result in the potential for top line growth and margin improvements, which are key areas of focus for 2026.
