Cost Engineer, Granlund

Do you enjoy working with numbers, technical details and cost estimates in large and complex projects? We’re looking for a Cost Engineer to join Granlund’s growing Cost Management team and work on demanding data center and industrial projects.

Granlund is a rapidly growing expert organization in the real estate and construction sector. Together with our clients and stakeholders, we are building a sustainable and intelligent future. Our 1,800 experts serve clients across Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands, and the UK.

Would you be our new Cost Engineer?

As a Cost Engineer, you work hands-on with cost engineering and estimating throughout different stages of complex projects. Your work includes preparing accurate and well-documented cost estimates, measuring and quantifying works from drawings and models, comparing supplier and subcontractor quotations, and maintaining project cost data. Your role combines detailed cost analysis with a practical understanding of project scope, helping ensure that cost information is accurate, transparent and up to date throughout the project.

Your responsibilities also include supporting tendering, procurement and project cost control. You participate in tender evaluations, review contractor and supplier pricing, track costs against budgets and support the management of variations and changes. You also prepare cash flow forecasts and cost reporting material. The role involves close collaboration with the Cost Manager, project management, procurement, design teams and other project stakeholders. Depending on the project, you may also work with cost estimates for MEP, OFCI and CFCI procurement packages.

The position is full-time and permanent, and you will be employed directly by Granlund. You can work from any Granlund office in Finland or remotely. The role includes occasional travel to project sites and client meetings across Finland.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for a professional with experience in cost engineering, estimating, quantity surveying or commercial management in project-based environments. Your background may come from construction, industrial, energy, data center or other technically demanding projects. You are comfortable working with detailed cost information and understand how drawings, specifications, quantities and project scope translate into costs. You have a relevant educational background, such as industrial engineering or a similar field, and a structured and accurate way of working.

Experience with tendering, tender evaluation and procurement is considered an advantage, as is knowledge of MEP systems and their key cost drivers. Familiarity with RICS or AACE methodologies, contractual frameworks such as FIDIC or YSE, or OFCI/CFCI procurement is also beneficial. Strong Excel skills are essential, while experience with BIM-based quantity take-off, ERP systems or Power BI is considered an advantage. You communicate fluently in English, and Finnish is considered a plus.

As a person, you are analytical, detail-oriented and comfortable working with numbers and technical information. You work accurately even with tight tender and reporting deadlines and are able to identify inconsistencies, cost trends and potential risks early. You collaborate effectively with different stakeholders and have the confidence to question contractor and supplier pricing when needed.

Why join us?

At Granlund, you will work in a company that has been a pioneer in Finnish building services engineering for decades. You will contribute to demanding and large-scale projects such as data centers and industrial environments, where your work truly matters. As one of the leading data center design and consulting companies in the Nordics, we offer long-term career opportunities in a rapidly growing field, where projects are becoming increasingly significant in scale and impact. You will have strong opportunities to grow and develop your expertise, with career paths that can be shaped around your strengths and interests.

We place real emphasis on employee well-being, continuous learning, and a supportive, professional work environment. You will be part of a collaborative and ambitious team where people take ownership, share knowledge, and work together toward common goals.
