Prepare and review Bill of Quantities (BOQ) for new and ongoing projects, ensuring accuracy and alignment with approved designs.
Drive project costing and estimation; establish cost benchmarks and track actuals vs. budgets across all sites.
Own vendor identification, empanelment, negotiation, and ongoing relationship management for civil and interior procurement.
Govern vendor payment schedules in coordination with the finance team; ensure timely approvals and reconciliation.
Manage and mentor a team of architects and procurement executives, setting explicit KPIs and performance expectations.
Collaborate with project management and operations to ensure design intent is upheld through construction.
Implement procurement SOPs, approval workflows, and audit-ready documentation practices.

Demonstrable experience preparing and reviewing BOQs and project cost estimates for commercial or institutional projects.
Strong command of vendor negotiation and contract management; proven track record of cost optimisation.
Experience managing interdisciplinary teams — architects, engineers, and procurement professionals.
Proficiency with AutoCAD, MS Project, and procurement/ERP tools; working knowledge of relevant IS codes and standards.
Strong analytical mindset with attention to detail in budget tracking and financial governance.

GOOD TO HAVE
Preferred, not mandatory — but will be prioritised during shortlisting:
Prior experience designing or executing school, college, or institutional campus projects — understanding of functional zoning, safety norms, and child-friendly design principles.
Exposure to green building standards (GRIHA / LEED) or sustainability-led design practices.
Experience with multi-location rollouts in education infrastructure, healthcare, or large-format retail sectors.

Candidates with school, institutional, or campus project experience will be given preference during shortlisting. We welcome applications from professionals in the education infrastructure, healthcare, or large-format retail build sectors.
