Billing Head

• *ROLE PURPOSE**

Lead contractor billing, estimation, cost control, project planning and contract administration across Melhor Group’s projects. Act as the final check before money leaves the project: every payment recommendation accurate, supported by verified measurements and quality approvals, and submitted on time, so that management pays only for work that is measured, approved and complete.

• *KEY RESPONSIBILITIES**

◆ **Billing and payment certification.** Prepare, verify and finalise contractor running account (RA) and final bills against approved drawings, BOQs, work orders and actual site measurements. Check quantities, rates, previous payments, advances, retention, recoveries and deductions, and prevent duplicate or unsupported billing. Certify work only after site verification and the required quality approvals, and submit payment recommendations with complete supporting documents.

◆ **Contractor bill coordination.** Keep bill submissions on schedule across all work packages. Where required, help labour contractors prepare measurement\-based bills so that claims arrive complete and verifiable.

◆ **Estimation and cost control.** Prepare quantity take\-offs, BOQs, estimates and rate analyses for civil, finishing, interior and associated works. Monitor expenditure against approved budgets, and flag overruns, excess quantities and unapproved extra work as soon as they appear.

◆ **Material reconciliation.** Reconcile steel, cement and other key materials against issued and consumed quantities. Track wastage, variations and approved revisions to quantities and rates.

◆ **Planning and progress monitoring.** Prepare and update project schedules in MS Project, Primavera or equivalent. Track planned versus actual progress, manpower, procurement timelines and critical milestones; identify delays early and coordinate corrective action with the execution, purchase, quality and contractor teams.

◆ **Contracts and contractor coordination.** Prepare and administer work orders with clear scope, rates, milestones, payment terms and completion requirements. Obtain written approval for variations and

additional work before execution or billing. Resolve measurement, scope and progress discrepancies promptly, and track contractual obligations, claims, recoveries and final account closure.

• *VERIFICATION, TEAM AND REPORTING**

◆ **Technical and quality verification.** Verify bar bending schedules (BBS), steel quantities and measurements against approved structural drawings. Coordinate with engineers, the architect and consultants to resolve drawing, quantity and scope discrepancies.

◆ **Rework and recoveries.** Ensure defective or incomplete work is identified and rectified before certification. Record rework costs and recommend contractor recoveries, with evidence, for management approval.

◆ **Team leadership.** Supervise the Junior Billing Engineer: allocate responsibilities, review and verify every submission, and build discipline in measurement and documentation.

◆ **Records and reporting.** Maintain complete measurement, billing, contract and approval records. Submit daily updates and weekly billing, cost and progress reports to management, highlighting pending decisions and corrective actions.

◆ **Systems and technology.** Use advanced Excel, AutoCAD, ERP and planning software for accurate billing and reporting. Adopt macros, dashboards, integrations and AI tools where they help, while independently verifying every calculation and output.

• *WHAT YOU BRING**

◆ B.E. / B.Tech or Diploma in Civil Engineering.

◆ 7 to 12 years in contractor billing, estimation, planning and contract administration, preferably on premium residential or villa projects, including experience managing labour contractors across multiple work packages or projects.

◆ A strong grasp of site execution, measurement methods, BBS, rate analysis, quality checks and material reconciliation.

◆ Proficiency in Excel, with working knowledge of AutoCAD, ERP and scheduling software.

◆ Clear written and spoken English, close attention to detail, and a hands\-on approach, with a willingness to be based in North Goa and visit project sites regularly.
