Key Responsibilities:

1. Tender Management & Strategy

• Lead the end-to-end tendering process for T&D EPC projects (Transmission lines, Substations, Underground cabling, and Distribution systems).

• Review tender documents (RFQs, RFPs, NITs) to identify scope, eligibility, and technical/commercial requirements.

• Prepare bid strategy and pricing approach in coordination with business development, engineering, procurement, and finance teams.

• Ensure timely submission of EOIs, pre-qualifications, and competitive bids for both government and private clients.

• Conduct risk analysis and sensitivity studies to optimize bid pricing and mitigate commercial risks.

2. Cost Estimation & Budgeting

• Prepare detailed cost estimates covering civil, electrical, mechanical, and control & instrumentation works for T&D projects.

• Develop BOQs and activity-wise costing using benchmark data and rate analysis.

• Liaise with procurement and vendor management teams to obtain updated prices for key materials (towers, conductors, insulators, cables, transformers, GIS/AIS equipment, etc.).

• Analyze cost trends, material indices, and logistics costs to maintain competitive yet realistic pricing.

• Build and maintain a cost database for various project components and geographies.

3. Technical Coordination

• Coordinate with design and engineering teams to assess technical feasibility, design optimization, and scope definition.

• Evaluate alternate design or construction methodologies to improve cost competitiveness.

• Review technical clarifications and deviations during tender stage.

• Work closely with quality and safety teams to ensure compliance with standards (IS, IEC, CEA, and client specifications).

4. Commercial Evaluation & Negotiation

• Review contract clauses, payment terms, taxes, duties, and financial conditions to ensure favorable bid positioning.

• Support management in bid presentation, client clarifications, and negotiations.

• Conduct post-bid analysis and lessons learned from won/lost bids to improve future competitiveness.

5. Cross-Functional & Strategic Support

• Collaborate with Business Development, Project, and Finance teams for pipeline tracking and business planning.

• Provide input for strategic pricing models, market intelligence, and competitor benchmarking.

• Participate in developing new market segments (e.g., HVDC, Smart Grids, or BESS-integrated T&D systems).
