About SMK Modulars LLP

SMK Modulars LLP is a Vadodara-based turnkey interior fit-out and modular furniture company executing corporate, pharmaceutical and industrial projects across Gujarat. We have been awarded a turnkey Interior and MEP contract (Civil, Interior & Furniture, Electrical LT, LT Panels, HVAC, Fire Fighting & FAS) for the Admin Block of a leading pharmaceutical company at Dahej, Bharuch. The project runs on a strict 90-day programme, and the contract is paid on Running Account (RA) bills – so timely, accurate billing and material control directly drive project cash flow.

Role Summary

The Billing & Estimation Engineer will own two things at site: (1) the complete billing cycle – measurement, RA bill preparation, client certification and payment follow-up; and (2) material control – estimating requirements from the BOQ, placing orders, chasing deliveries, verifying every incoming challan against the BOQ specification, and maintaining all material and billing documentation. The role reports to the Project Manager and works closely with Head Office (Vadodara) procurement and accounts.

Key Responsibilities

Billing & payment

• Take joint measurements with the client / consultant at agreed intervals and maintain measurement books for all six packages (Civil, Interior & Furniture, Electrical, LT Panels, HVAC, Fire Fighting & FAS).
• Prepare RA bills in the client’s format with full backup – measurement sheets, item-wise abstracts, test certificates, delivery challans and photographs – and submit them on schedule every cycle without slippage.
• Get RA bills verified and certified by the client’s engineer / consultant; resolve queries, deductions and rate disputes quickly with supporting documents.
• Follow up with the client’s accounts and project teams until payment is received; maintain a bill-wise tracker of submitted, certified, paid and outstanding amounts and report it weekly.
• Prepare variation / extra-item statements with rate analysis and supporting evidence; track scope changes against the original BOQ.
• Check and certify sub-contractor bills against measured work and agreed rates before release.

Material planning, ordering & control

• Work out item-wise material requirements from the BOQ and drawings (quantity take-off with wastage) and prepare the material procurement schedule aligned to the 90-day programme.
• Raise material indents / purchase requests, coordinate with Head Office procurement for orders, and follow up with vendors and transporters to ensure timely delivery to Dahej.
• Check every incoming delivery challan against the purchase order and BOQ – make, brand, grade, size, thickness and quantity – for all agencies and sub-contractors, and reject or flag non-conforming material immediately.
• Maintain site stock registers, daily receipt / issue records and material reconciliation (BOQ quantity vs. ordered vs. received vs. consumed vs. balance).
• Maintain all material documentation – challans, invoices, test certificates, MTCs, guarantee cards – filed and ready for RA bill submission and handover.
• Alert the Project Manager early on any material likely to fall short of the programme, and drive alternate arrangements.

Skills & Competencies

• Strong quantity surveying and estimation skills; able to read architectural, interior and MEP drawings and take off quantities accurately.
• Hands-on experience with RA billing on item-rate BOQ contracts, client certification processes and payment follow-up.
• Advanced MS Excel (measurement sheets, abstracts, reconciliation); working knowledge of AutoCAD; familiarity with ERP / Tally purchase entries is a plus.
• Good knowledge of interior and MEP materials, brands and specifications (gypsum, ply, laminate, hardware, cables, panels, ducting, piping, fire-fighting components).
• Organised, documentation-driven and persistent in follow-up with clients, vendors and sub-contractors.
• Willing to be stationed full-time at Dahej for the project duration, including a seven-day working week during peak.
