Senior Cost Accountant

About the opportunity
Taggd is hiring on behalf of a leading defence manufacturer for a Cost Accountant to own product costing for its ESR (Electro Slag Remelting) and forging operations at its plant in Hisar, Haryana.
This is a role for someone who wants to build costing systems, not just maintain them. You will shape how cost is captured, controlled and priced on defence-grade products, with direct visibility to senior management.
What you'll do
- Develop and maintain product costing for ESR and forging processes
- Run material, labour and overhead variance analysis, and drive corrective action with plant teams
- Prepare cost sheets for defence-grade products, including tender and contract costing
- Design standard costing mechanisms, costing controls and MIS frameworks
- Use SAP CO/MM/PP for cost capture, reporting and plant finance control
- Work closely with production, procurement, finance and senior leadership on pricing and cost decisions
What we're looking for
- CMA / ICWA qualified (mandatory)
- 5–10 years of experience in plant costing or product costing
- Hands-on SAP CO; exposure to SAP MM/PP is a strong plus
- Experience in a manufacturing environment: forging, special or alloy steel, defence, aerospace, heavy engineering, auto components, or process industries (pharma, chemicals, metals, cement)
- Comfort working on-site at a plant and partnering with operations teams
ESR or forging experience is a bonus, not a requirement. If you have built cost sheets and run variance analysis in a plant, we encourage you to apply.
Why join
- Defence-grade manufacturing with high business impact
- Ownership of the costing function and its systems
- Direct exposure to senior management
- Competitive compensation based on experience
Location: Hisar, Haryana (on-site)
