Job Summary
We are seeking a highly analytical and detail-oriented Billing / Planning / Estimation Engineer to manage project timelines, cost estimations, and vendor billing processes. This role acts as a crucial link between site execution and financial management, ensuring projects are accurately budgeted, executed according to schedule, and that all contractor/vendor billings are precisely verified against actual site progress.
Key Responsibilities
Cost Estimation & Budgeting (Quantity Surveying)
Prepare detailed Quantity Take-offs (QTO) and Bills of Quantities (BOQ) from architectural, structural, and MEPF drawings.
Conduct precise rate analysis for various construction items (concrete, reinforcement, finishes, etc.) based on current market trends and historical data.
Assist management in preparing pre-construction project budgets, cash flow projections, and feasibility studies. • Planning & Scheduling
Develop, monitor, and update master project schedules (Baseline Schedules) using MS Project or Primavera to ensure timely completion.
Create micro-plans (weekly/monthly schedules) and track daily physical progress against planned targets on site.
Identify potential schedule delays or critical path bottlenecks and propose corrective actions or resource leveling to the Project Manager. Billing & Valuation Management
Scrutinize, verify, and certify Running Account (RA) bills, final bills, and deviation claims submitted by contractors and sub-contractors based on actual joint site measurements.
Prepare client billing/invoicing based on completed milestones and track subsequent collection cycles.
Manage variation orders, extra items, and non-scheduled item (NSI) rates by evaluating market rates and conducting standard analysis. Material Reconciliation & Cost Control
Perform periodic material reconciliation (cement, steel, tiles, etc.) by comparing theoretical consumption (as per drawings) against actual site consumption to minimize wastage.
Prepare Monthly Cost Reports (MCR) and variance analyses comparing actual expenditures against the approved project budget.
Key Requirements
 Education: Bachelor’s Degree ($B.E./B.Tech$) in Civil Engineering. A post-graduate diploma or degree in Construction Management (e.g., NICMAR) is highly preferred.
 Experience: 4–7 years of core experience in billing, estimation, and planning within real estate development or major contracting firms.
 Technical Skills: Advanced proficiency in MS Excel, AutoCAD (for measurement verification), and planning tools like MS Project or Primavera P6.
