Role overview

Topsoe is seeking a Cost Estimator in Delhi to support work tied to the global energy transition. In this position, you will assess complex commercial and technical questions, define practical estimating approaches, and prepare detailed cost models for proprietary hardware.

What the role involves

You will work closely with commercial, research and development, and engineering teams to make sure estimating outputs are reliable, timely, and aligned with business needs.
