Cost Engineering Manager, Cost Engineering

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse description: It includes role description, responsibilities (Key job responsibilities), About The Team (maybe About the role?), Basic Qualifications, Preferred Qualifications, Benefits, Pay (salary ranges), maybe Schedule not mentioned. So we will include sections: About the role (maybe combine description and About The Team?), Responsibilities, Requirements (basic qualifications?), Qualifications (preferred?), Skills (maybe Excel, SQL?), Benefits, Pay. Schedule not present, so omit. We must not create sections with filler. Use

for headings. Use

• for lists. Use

  for prose. We need to preserve all substantive info: description paragraphs, responsibilities bullet list, about team paragraph, basic qualifications list, preferred qualifications list, benefits description, pay ranges. We need to avoid repeating content. Let's extract. Description paragraphs: first paragraph about Amazon building fast, role description. Then second paragraph repeats similar content (some duplication). We need to preserve all substantive info but not duplicate lines. We'll combine unique info. Let's rewrite description in prose: "Amazon builds fast—and behind every new Fulfillment Center, Sortation Center, Delivery Station, and capital investment is a critical question: Are we buying the right solution at the right price? We're looking for a Cost & Value Engineering Manager to partner with Amazon's North America Engineering, Design, and Operations stakeholders, delivering equipment cost engineering and value engineering services that optimize equipment design, validate costs, and inform capital investment decisions across Amazon's fulfillment network. This role is high-impact, high-variety, and technically demanding. You'll develop bottom-up cost estimates, should-cost models, and Value Engineering analyses across a diverse portfolio of material handling equipment (MHE), automation, and auxiliary equipment, including conveyance, chutes, platforms, mezzanines, and related fulfillment systems. From multi-site retrofit programs to complex, one-off initiatives, you'll evaluate equipment design alternatives, optimize specifications, identify cost drivers, and produce defensible cost models that shape sourcing, design, and investment decisions. Working from early concepts through supplier selection and implementation, you'll apply technical engineering expertise to balance cost, quality, performance, and operational requirements. As part of Amazon's Global Procurement Organization within the Sourcing Excellence pillar, you'll partner closely with Engineering, Design, Operations, Procurement, and Category teams to ensure Amazon is buying the right equipment at the right price. You'll also collaborate with AI and Market Intelligence Solutions, leveraging AI-powered tools to accelerate analysis, develop scalable cost intelligence, and advance next-generation automation that expands the reach and impact of Cost & Value Engineering across Amazon." Then there is a repeated paragraph about building types etc. We can incorporate unique bits: "You'll develop bottom-up cost estimates, should-cost models, and Value Engineering analyses across a diverse portfolio of building types, material handling equipment (MHE), automation, and capital projects. From multi-site retrofit programs to complex, one-off initiatives, you'll evaluate design alternatives, optimize specifications, identify cost drivers, and produce defensible cost models that shape sourcing, design, and investment decisions. Working from early concepts through bid-ready construction documents, you'll apply technical expertise to balance cost, quality, performance, and operational requirements. As part of Amazon's Global Procurement Organization within the Sourcing Excellence pillar, you'll partner closely with Engineering, Design, Construction, Procurement, and Category teams to ensure Amazon is buying the right solution at the right price. You'll also collaborate with AI and Market Intelligence Solutions, leveraging AI-powered tools to accelerate analysis, develop scalable cost intelligence, and advance next-generation automation that expands the reach and impact of Cost & Value Engineering across Amazon." We can merge but avoid duplication. We'll keep a concise but comprehensive description. Now responsibilities: list bullet points from "Key job responsibilities". Let's extract each bullet: - Deliver independent, bottom-up cost estimates for material handling equipment, automation, auxiliary equipment, and capital investment projects across Amazon's global fulfillment portfolio, spanning retrofit, expansion, new-build, automation, and equipment deployment initiatives. - Develop cost estimates from early-stage equipment concepts through supplier selection and implementation, adapting methodologies and analytical depth to available project information and design maturity. - Build and maintain scalable estimating models and templates while developing detailed bottom-up cost models for complex, site-specific initiatives requiring advanced analytical judgment. - Perform should-cost modeling, benchmarking, and Value Engineering analyses to evaluate equipment design alternatives, optimize specifications, identify cost drivers, and ensure Amazon is buying the right solution at the right price. - Leverage AI-powered tools to automate data gathering, cost modeling, benchmarking, and pattern recognition while applying engineering judgment to validate outputs and resolve complex or ambiguous equipment scopes. - Drive the development of scalable AI-enabled cost intelligence solutions by curating equipment and market data, validating model performance, and identifying opportunities to automate routine analytical activities. - Partner with Engineering, Design, Operations, Procurement, Category Management, and business stakeholders to validate assumptions, communicate cost risks, evaluate alternatives, and influence sourcing and investment decisions. - Peer review cost models, estimates, and Value Engineering recommendations to ensure technical rigor, consistency, and alignment with current market conditions and best practices. Now About The Team paragraph: we can put under About the role or separate About the team? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put team description under About the role (maybe as part of that). We'll include a paragraph about the Sourcing Excellence team. Paragraph: "The Sourcing Excellence team helps Amazon answer two fundamental questions: Are we buying the right product? (Value Engineering) and Are we paying the right price? (Cost Engineering). Value Engineering ensures Amazon is investing in the right material handling equipment, automation, auxiliary equipment, and technologies by optimizing specifications, design, materials, and performance to maximize business value while meeting operational requirements. Cost Engineering establishes cost transparency and price confidence through bottom-up cost estimation, should-cost modeling, benchmarking, market intelligence, and cost driver analysis to determine what equipment, automation, and related services should cost. Together, these disciplines provide transparent, fact-based insights that enable informed sourcing, design, and investment decisions throughout the equipment lifecycle. Our vision is to make cost and value transparency a strategic capability across the organization, ensuring every investment delivers the optimal balance of cost, quality, performance, and operational requirements. Today, the team supports billions of dollars in managed spend across material handling equipment, automation, auxiliary equipment, and other strategic sourcing categories, and continues to scale its impact through AI-enabled solutions, standardized mechanisms, and cross-functional partnerships." Now Basic Qualifications list: items: - 3+ years of project/program management experience - 3+ years of working cross functionally with non-tech teams experience - 3+ years of defining and implementing process improvement initiatives using data and metrics experience - Knowledge of Excel (Pivot Tables, VLookUps) at an advanced level and SQL - Experience defining and executing program requirements and using data and metrics to determine improvements - Experience in cost engineering, value engineering, equipment engineering, manufacturing engineering, automation, material handling equipment, capital projects, or related technical disciplines, including roles such as Cost Engineer, Value Engineer, Equipment Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Electrical Engineer, Manufacturing Engineer, Automation Engineer, Design Engineer, Systems Engineer, or other related technical cost, engineering, and value management roles. We can list as

  • . Preferred Qualifications list: - 3+ years of driving end to end delivery, and communicating results to senior leadership experience - 3+ years of driving process improvements experience - Experience in stakeholder management, dealing with multiple stakeholders at varied levels of the organization - Experience building processes, project management, and schedules - Experience designing, engineering, or developing material handling equipment, automation systems, or auxiliary equipment such as conveyance, chutes, platforms, mezzanines, or related fulfillment equipment Now Benefits paragraph: "Amazon is an equal opportunity employer..." but we need to remove EEO boilerplate. The benefits paragraph after that: "Our inclusive culture empowers Amazonians to deliver the best results for our customers. If you have a disability and need a workplace accommodation or adjustment during the application and hiring process, including support for the interview or onboarding process, please visit https://amazon.jobs/content/en/how-we-hire/accommodations for more information. If the country/region you’re applying in isn’t listed, please contact your Recruiting Partner. The base salary range for this position is listed below. Your Amazon package will include sign-on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location. Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave. Learn more about our benefits at https://amazon.jobs/en/benefits." We need to remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate, accommodation lines, etc. Keep benefits description: comprehensive benefits including health insurance..., 401(k) matching, paid time off, parental leave. Also mention sign-on payments and RSUs. Also mention base salary range listed below (we will put in Pay section). So Benefits section: include sign-on payments, RSUs, health insurance details, 401(k) matching, paid time off, parental leave. Also maybe mention link to learn more but we can keep as prose. Pay section: list salary ranges for locations: USA, TN, Nashville - 77,200.00 - 115,800.00 USD annually; USA, TX, Houston - 85,800.00 - 128,600.00 USD annually; USA, VA, Arlington - 85,800.00 - 128,600.00 USD annually; USA, WA, Bellevue - 85,800.00 - 128,600.00 USD annually. We should present as list. Schedule: not present, omit. Skills section: maybe we can extract skills from qualifications: Excel advanced, SQL, etc. Could create Skills section with those. But we already have Excel and SQL in Basic Qualifications. Could still create Skills section listing: Advanced Excel (Pivot Tables, VLookUps), SQL, cost engineering, value engineering, equipment engineering, etc. However instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could incorporate skills into Requirements or Qualifications. But we have separate Requirements and Qualifications headings. We could put basic qualifications under Requirements, preferred under Qualifications. Skills maybe not needed. But we need to decide. We have headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include only those with real content. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (basic qualifications), Qualifications (preferred), Benefits, Pay. Skills maybe we can extract from qualifications: Excel, SQL, etc. Could create Skills section with those. But we already have Excel and SQL in Requirements; moving them to Skills would duplicate. Better to put Excel and SQL under Skills, and keep Requirements as experience items. Let's see. Requirements: maybe years of experience items. Qualifications: maybe technical disciplines. Skills: Excel, SQL. Let's parse: Basic Qualifications includes experience items and also Excel/SQL. We could split: Requirements: the experience items (project/program management, cross-functional work, process improvement). Qualifications: technical disciplines experience (cost engineering, etc.) plus maybe preferred qualifications. Skills: Excel, SQL. But we also have Preferred Qualifications list. Could be part of Qualifications. Thus: - About the role: description + About The Team paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of responsibilities. - Requirements: experience items (project/program management 3
