Job Description

About CRA Energy

CRA Energy is a Noida-based manufacturer of custom-engineered process and combustion equipment, including flare systems, thermal oxidizers, biogas compression and upgrading systems, gas processing skids, burners, and related packages. Our projects are engineer-to-order: every job is costed, engineered, procured, and built to a specific client requirement, in India and internationally.

Purpose of the Role

CRA is creating a dedicated Cost Engineer position to own cost intelligence across the full project lifecycle, from the first budgetary estimate at proposal stage to the final profitability statement on completed projects. This is an end-to-end cost ownership role. The Cost Engineer is the custodian of what things cost, how confident we are in those numbers, and how our estimates compare to reality.

This role functions as an independent check on bid pricing.



It is not a data-entry position; the Cost Engineer is expected to challenge assumptions, interrogate vendor quotes, and sign off on the cost basis of major bids.

Key Responsibilities

1. Proposal-Stage Costing and Estimation
- Build detailed costed BOMs for proposals, covering bought-out equipment, fabrication, engineering hours, site work, logistics, and contingencies.
- Send and track RFQs to vendors for bought-out items at proposal stage; evaluate received quotes for scope, exclusions, Incoterms, validity, and technical fit alongside the proposal engineers.
- Act as the cost sign-off gate for all quotations above a defined value threshold: no bid above the threshold is released without the Cost Engineer confirming that every major cost line traces to a valid vendor quote or a documented, flagged assumption.
- Flag stale pricing, missing scope, and margin risks to the COO before bid release.

2. Vendor Quote Repos
