Description
As a Billing Specialist for civil construction projects, your primary responsibilities will include preparing and processing progress billing for various projects such as roads, bridges, dams, and tunnels. You will be tasked with verifying the quantities of work completed against approved construction drawings and Bill of Quantities (BOQs), ensuring accuracy and compliance with contract terms. Additionally, you will review and analyze contract documents to guarantee billing alignment with the agreed terms and track any changes, variations, or extra work for proper inclusion in the billing process. Your technical skills will be essential in this role, as you will be required to measure and quantify completed civil works through site inspections, interpret technical drawings, specifications, and construction schedules, as well as perform detailed quantity takeoffs from construction drawings. It will be crucial to apply relevant measurement standards such as CESMM, POMI, or local standards and verify material consumption against approved material requisitions. In terms of project documentation, you will be responsible for maintaining comprehensive records of all measurement books and billing documents, documenting site instructions that impact billing or project costs, and preparing rate analysis for new items or variations not covered in the original BOQ. Tracking and documenting delays, disruptions, or other factors affecting billing cycles will also be part of your duties, along with compiling supporting documents for claims and dispute resolution processes. Financial management will be a key aspect of your role, involving reconciling actual costs against budgeted costs for each billing cycle, tracking retention money, mobilization advances, and their recovery schedules, and monitoring project cash flow through accurate and timely billing. You will need to identify potential cost overruns and escalations and assist in forecasting the project's financial status through earned value analysis. Stakeholder coordination is another critical area where you will liaise with client representatives for joint measurements and billing approvals, coordinate with project managers and site engineers to validate work completion, and collaborate with the procurement team on material reconciliation for billing purposes. Ensuring compliance and quality control will be paramount, as you will need to guarantee that billing adheres to contractual terms, specifications, and regulatory requirements, verify that billed work meets quality standards and has received necessary approvals, maintain documentation for audit compliance and statutory requirements, apply appropriate taxes, duties, and other statutory deductions to billing, and validate insurance and performance guarantee requirements are met before billing.,
