  • Ability to evaluate estimate completeness, methodology credibility and value validity
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills
  • Active NV1 security clearance (Negative Vetting Level 1) is essential

  • Access to advanced costing tools and secure government networks
  • A collaborative working environment with opportunities for knowledge sharing and mentoring
