Cost Value Engineer

Position : Cost Value Engineering

Location: Bangalore, India

A Snapshot of Your Day

You collaborate closely with Engineering, Procurement, Project Management, and our global supplier base to create cost and value transparency for E-House solutions — from modular electrical buildings to fully integrated turnkey units. You analyze technical concepts, break down material, fabrication, and integration cost drivers, and provide fact-based design-to-value recommendations that support both product development and sourcing decisions. Your day includes building should-cost models, validating supplier quotations, and participating in cross-functional workshops to help optimize product architecture and specifications. With your technical and commercial understanding, you help Procurement prepare for supplier negotiations by delivering clear, data-driven cost insights that strengthen competitiveness in the E-House market.
