* Reviewing, accepting, and integrating cost estimates and forecasts provided by Tier 1 Contractors and suppliers.
* Adhering to governance and Cost standards and procedures.

* Success in a Project Controls environment or a similar Cost role on a major construction project.
* Proficiency with technology such as Cost tools, Excel, and IT.
* Building rapport and creating great relationships.

We recognise that great people don’t always ‘tick every box’. That’s why we focus on your potential, your fit with our values, your transferable skills as well as your experience. Even if you don’t meet every point below, but you feel that this role and AWE are a great fit for you, please go ahead and apply, we’d love to receive your application.
Some reasons we think you’ll love it here:
* 9-day working fortnight – meaning you get every other Friday off work.
* 270 hours holiday

* A truly meaningful role where your hard work impacts on our mission to keep the nation safe and secure.
