Senior Quantity Surveyor and Estimator – Precast and Civil Engineering
We are looking for a Senior Quantity Surveyor & Estimator with deep, hands-on precast concrete experience someone who understands not just general civil QS practice but the specific cost structures, material flows, production efficiencies, and contractual dynamics of precast manufacturing and project execution.
This is a senior, high-ownership role. You will lead all cost management, estimation, tendering, and commercial functions across active consulting and project engagements.
The ideal candidate has operated in a QS or commercial management capacity on precast-heavy projects and can hit the ground running with minimal handholding.
1. Estimation & Cost Planning:
-Prepare detailed Bills of Quantities (BOQ), cost estimates, and budgets for precast concrete projects — including hollow core slabs, precast walls, columns, beams, and boundary wall systems
-Develop and maintain precast-specific rate libraries and productivity benchmarks for accurate project costing
-Conduct feasibility stage cost assessments for new precast factory setups and project consultancy engagements
2. Tendering & Contract Management:
-Lead preparation and submission of tenders, proposals, and commercial bids for consulting and project execution contracts
-Review and negotiate contract terms, pricing schedules, and scope definitions with clients and subcontractors
-Manage subcontractor procurement floating enquiries, evaluating quotes, and finalising agreements
-Ensure all contracts are commercially protective and aligned with project scope and delivery timelines
3. Project Cost Control & Monitoring
-Track project costs against approved budgets throughout execution flagging variances early and recommending corrective action
-Prepare and submit monthly cost reports, earned value analyses, and cash flow forecasts to project and leadership teams
-Monitor material procurement costs — precast moulds, concrete mixes, reinforcement steel, prestressing strands, and ancillary hardware
-Control and reconcile labour costs across site and factory operations, including third-party manpower contracts
4. Billing, Claims & Final Accounts
-Prepare and certify client invoices, progress billings, and running account bills in line with contract milestones
-Manage variation orders and change notices — pricing, negotiating, and securing approvals in a timely manner
-Prepare and submit contractual claims including extension of time, loss and expense, and escalation claims where applicable
-Close out project final accounts with accuracy, ensuring all commercial entitlements are captured
5. Vendor & Subcontractor Management
-Develop and maintain a vetted vendor and subcontractor database relevant to precast construction
-Evaluate supplier quotations for precast materials, plant, equipment, and specialist services
-Coordinate with procurement and operations teams to ensure timely material availability without cost overruns
6. Reporting & Commercial Documentation
-Maintain comprehensive commercial records — contracts, correspondence, variation logs, and cost files — audit-ready at all times
-Prepare commercial summaries and cost dashboards for senior leadership and client reporting
-Support the preparation of investor and partner presentations with project-level cost and margin data where required
Technical Skills:
- Deep understanding of precast concrete systems — hollow core, precast walls, columns, beams, staircase units, and boundary wall systems
- Proficiency in reading and interpreting structural drawings, precast shop drawings, and erection plans
- Strong command of BOQ preparation, rate analysis, and cost modelling
- Working knowledge of contract frameworks — FIDIC, NEC, or Indian standard forms of contract
- Proficient in MS Excel for cost models and reporting; experience with QS or ERP software is an advantage
- Familiarity with precast production costs, cycle times, mould amortisation, strand prestressing, concrete mix design costs, and demoulding productivity
Pay: ₹700,000.00 - ₹1,200,000.00 per year
Work Location: In person
