Senior Cost Engineer
£500 per day
Birmingham
I’m working with a leading consultancy supporting HS2, one of Europe’s largest and most complex infrastructure programmes.
This isn’t a role where you simply update reports and explain last month’s numbers. HS2 needs an experienced Senior Cost Engineer who can challenge assumptions, spot problems early and provide cost insight that genuinely influences project decisions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Cost planning, forecasting and reporting
- Budget management and cost control
- Earned Value Management and performance analysis
- Supporting change control and impact assessments
- Working closely with Planning, Commercial and Project Management teams
- Turning complex cost data into clear insight for senior stakeholders
We’re looking for someone with strong experience delivering major infrastructure or capital programmes. Previous rail, HS2, nuclear, energy or regulated infrastructure experience would be particularly valuable.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
This will suit someone who enjoys solving problems, challenging the numbers and working as part of an integrated Project Controls team—not sitting in a reporting silo.
