The ideal candidate is strong in measurement and estimation, understands item-rate/BOQ-based tendering, and can work effectively under tight bid timelines for EPC and HAM projects.

Key Responsibilities

Study and interpret tender documents including:

• RFP / Bid documents
• Technical specifications (MoRTH / IRC / IS as applicable)
• Drawings (GADs, alignment plans, cross-sections, L-sections, structure drawings)
• Technical schedules, scope, and BOQ (when provided)

Prepare detailed quantity take-offs and estimate sheets for:

• Highway works: earthwork, GSB/WMM, DBM/BC, granular layers, subgrade, embankment, drainage, road furniture, safety works, signage, markings, etc.
• Structures: major/minor bridges, flyovers/viaducts, culverts, retaining walls, crash barriers, RE walls, approach slabs, foundations, piling, PSC/RC components, bearings, expansion joints, etc.

Develop tender cost estimates by:

• Building item-wise rate analysis (materials, labour, plant & machinery)
• Including project preliminaries, temporary works, traffic management, batching/crusher plants, etc.
• Coordinating for freight, royalty, borrow area assumptions, leads & lifts, and construction methodology inputs

Other Responsibilities

• Prepare and manage vendor/subcontractor enquiries, comparative statements, and final price recommendations.
• Identify scope gaps / risks / ambiguities and raise Tender Queries (TQs)/RFIs with proper technical & commercial justification.
• Coordinate with design, planning, procurement, and construction teams to validate assumptions and methodology.
• Maintain proper tender documentation and ensure a clean handover of quantities, assumptions, and pricing notes post-award.

Required Qualifications & Experience

Diploma / B.E. / B.Tech in Civil Engineering (or equivalent).

5+ years of experience in tender estimation / pre-bid QS for highway and bridge projects.

Hands-on expertise in quantity take-off from:

• Highway drawings (alignment, L-section, cross-sections, typical sections)
• Structural drawings (GAD, RCC/PSC drawings, reinforcement basics, piling, substructure/superstructure)

Strong understanding of:

• MoRTH specifications, IRC, IS standards (as relevant to highways & structures)
• Leads/lifts, construction staging, and project execution constraints typical to NHAI jobs

Proficiency in:

• MS Excel (advanced estimation sheets, summaries, comparisons)
• AutoCAD / measurement software (e.g., CostX / PlanSwift / Bluebeam — any relevant tools)

Experience in EPC and HAM project tendering specifically under NHAI.

Ability to support value engineering / alternate proposals for cost optimization.
