This role also ensures that all material testing, site laboratory activities, and calibrations conform to NABL standards and ISO/IEC guidelines, thereby maintaining the highest quality standards in civil construction projects.

Key Responsibilities1. Planning & Scheduling

• Develop detailed civil work schedules (excavation, concreting, reinforcement, finishing, etc.) with milestones and resource allocation.
• Monitor progress of site activities (earthwork, RCC, structural, finishing, roadwork, etc.) and update schedules accordingly.
• Prepare work breakdown structures (WBS) for civil activities to track timelines and productivity.
• Identify delays, bottlenecks, and propose recovery schedules.

• Ensure NABL-compliant testing (concrete cube tests, steel testing, soil compaction, bitumen tests, etc.) is integrated into project timelines.

• Billing & Cost Control

• Prepare RA (Running Account) bills and final bills as per contract BOQ and site measurements.

• Verify subcontractor bills against work executed and certified measurements.
• Track civil project costs (materials, labour, equipment usage) and compare with budgeted costs.
• Ensure timely client billing and follow-up for approvals and payments.

• Maintain proper documentation of measurements, material reconciliation, and deviations.

• Quality Assurance & NABL Compliance

• Ensure that all site material testing (cement, steel, aggregates, concrete, soil, bitumen, asphalt, etc.) is performed at NABL-accredited labs.

• Verify calibration of surveying instruments, batching plants, cube testing machines, and other equipment as per NABL standards.
• Review test reports, ensure compliance with IS Codes and project specifications.

• Stay updated with NABL and ISO/IEC standards relevant to civil engineering projects.

• Documentation & Reporting

• Maintain DPRs (Daily Progress Reports), MPRs (Monthly Progress Reports), and billing records.

• Prepare dashboards on project progress, billing status, and NABL compliance.

• Ensure readiness of records for client inspections, audits, and NABL verification.

• Stakeholder Coordination

• Coordinate between site execution teams, quality engineers, clients, contractors, and NABL-accredited laboratories.

• Address queries related to billing, testing, and quality compliance.

• Support the Project Manager in client meetings by providing updated progress and billing data.

• Risk Management & Continuous Improvement

• Identify risks such as delays in testing, rejections in material quality, or billing disputes.

• Propose corrective measures to prevent project delays and cost overruns.
• Implement lessons learned for better planning, cost control, and testing compliance in future projects.

Required Qualifications

• Education: B.E./B.Tech in Civil Engineering.
• Certification: NABL Certification/Accreditation in Quality Management (mandatory).
• Experience: Minimum 3–5 years in planning, billing, and quality compliance within civil construction projects.

Skills & Competencies

• Strong knowledge of civil engineering construction methods (RCC, roadwork, structures, finishing, etc.).
• Proficiency in project management software (MS Project, Primavera) and AutoCAD.
• Hands-on experience in RA/Final Billing, BOQ analysis, and contract billing.
• In-depth knowledge of NABL standards for civil material testing and equipment calibration.
• Strong communication, documentation, and analytical skills.
• Ability to handle multiple projects simultaneously and work under deadlines.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in NABL-accredited projects (buildings, roads, bridges, or industrial projects).
• Knowledge of IS Codes and international standards related to testing and quality in civil engineering.
• Exposure to large-scale EPC/Infrastructure projects with NABL lab involvement.
