• Prepare material take-off and grade-wise BOQ – plates, forgings, pipes, fittings, internals, fasteners, gaskets – with each material grade listed separately.
• Build costing in the company’s standard costing sheet format – raw material, bought-outs, fabrication labour, NDT/PWHT/testing, inspection (TPI/IBR), painting, packing, freight and overheads – using current market rates.
• Float enquiries and obtain quotations for raw materials, forgings, bought-out items (gaskets, fasteners, internals, instruments) and sub-contracted services (cladding, machining, PWHT, galvanising) from approved vendors.
• Prepare comparative statements and maintain an updated database of material rates and vendor offers.

• Reply to technical and commercial queries (TQs/CQs) from clients and EPC contractors.
• Attend techno-commercial clarification meetings and negotiations.
• Prepare and submit revised techno-commercial offers incorporating all correspondence to date.
• Hand over estimation basis and costing to execution/planning teams on order finalisation; maintain enquiry and offer register.

QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE

• B.E. / B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering (Diploma with strong relevant experience may be considered).

• Understanding of materials (CS, LTCS, low‑alloy Cr‑Mo, SS, duplex, clad/overlay) and their cost drivers.
• Understanding of fabrication processes – rolling, welding, NDT, PWHT, hydrotest, painting – and their impact on cost and schedule.
• Advanced MS Excel (formula-driven costing sheets), MS Word; ability to read GA drawings in AutoCAD.
