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)
Robust 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.
