DESCRIPTION

Title: Senior / Associate Cost Manager
Discipline: Cost Management
Sector: Industrial, Logistics & Manufacturing
Location: Birmingham (With Hybrid Working)

ROLE OVERVIEW

The logistics and manufacturing industry is a crucial component of the UK economy, playing a vital role in the production and distribution of goods across the country and around the world.
We understand the unique complexities of the logistics and manufacturing industry. We understand how to repurpose, redesign, and reimagine logistics and manufacturing space. We excel in bespoke fit-outs, large logistic parks, multiple-level indoor farming, vast warehousing packed with automated technology, and temperature-controlled environments.
Our clients receive comprehensive advice through the entire life cycle of their assets; from conceptualisation to realisation, to operation, and eventual disposal. Through our specialists’ expertise and passion for the sector, we can deliver successful results, ensuring our clients’ investments are in safe hands.
We know warehouses are no longer tin sheds – they are often among the world’s most sophisticated and technology-rich assets. We work with our clients to seek alternative materials that work harder and eliminate emissions or consider design solutions that support new processes that boost productivity and drive down risk.
This role presents an excellent opportunity for an experienced Senior Cost Manager or Associate to take responsibility for key projects within the industrial & logistics sector, a buoyant sector for RLB and our numerous clients, and one that is experiencing massive growth. We are therefore looking for future leaders to carry the sector forward, which poses a brilliant opportunity for personal development and progression within the business. You will be joining an established and supportive team of cost management professionals in Birmingham, with extensive and diverse experience.
