Are you an experienced Cost Modelling Consultant with a background in engineering-led environments such as automotive, motorsport, or advanced manufacturing?

We re supporting a cutting-edge high-performance engine programme that needs commercially aware, engineering-savvy financial leadership to shape and deliver a joined-up cost modelling strategy.

This is a contract or fractional consulting role - ideal for someone with strong exposure to manufacturing, engineering, and logistics operations, who s ready to dive into a complex, fast-paced environment. You ll report directly to the CFO, with a broad remit and high-level visibility.

Key Focus Areas:

• Design and implement scalable, cross-functional cost models for engine development
• Build robust financial processes across engineering, procurement and operations
• Identify cost leakage and drive actionable insights for decision-makers
• Develop board-ready reporting and cost control governance
• Work across teams to embed best practice cost control into daily operations

• Extensive experience in cost modelling, cost accounting and financial cost control
• Strong grounding in engineering or manufacturing environments - especially those with complex supply chains and logistics
• Deep knowledge of absorption costing and engineered product cost structures
• Able to influence senior stakeholders and challenge assumptions where needed
• Experience in F1 is great, but motorsport or high-performance automotive more broadly is very welcome
