Senior Cost Estimator

This Senior Cost Estimator / Cost Accountant role at PAREKH, based in Navi Mumbai, blends traditional manufacturing cost accounting with hands-on SAP CO costing work, requiring genuine dual expertise across both disciplines.

You will also prepare cost reports for management, support budgeting and forecasting activities, and collaborate with production and procurement teams to optimize cost structures across the manufacturing value chain.

Candidates need 3-8 years of cost accounting experience with genuine hands-on SAP CO skills spanning Product Costing, Standard Costing, and Variance Analysis. Practical inventory reconciliation and GL reconciliation experience is essential. Strong financial analysis capability is required. A B.Com, M.Com, CMA, CA, or MBA Finance qualification is specifically required. Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills are essential.
