Senior Cost Accountant

About the opportunity

Taggd is hiring on behalf of a leading defence manufacturer for a Cost Accountant to own product costing for its ESR (Electro Slag Remelting) and forging operations at its plant in Hisar, Haryana.

This is a role for someone who wants to build costing systems, not just maintain them. You will shape how cost is captured, controlled and priced on defence-grade products, with direct visibility to senior management.

What you'll do

• Develop and maintain product costing for ESR and forging processes
• Run material, labour and overhead variance analysis, and drive corrective action with plant teams
• Prepare cost sheets for defence-grade products, including tender and contract costing
• Design standard costing mechanisms, costing controls and MIS frameworks
• Use SAP CO/MM/PP for cost capture, reporting and plant finance control
• Work closely with production, procurement, finance and senior leadership on pricing and cost decisions

What we're looking for

• CMA / ICWA qualified (mandatory)
• 5–10 years of experience in plant costing or product costing
• Hands-on SAP CO; exposure to SAP MM/PP is a strong plus
• Experience in a manufacturing environment: forging, special or alloy steel, defence, aerospace, heavy engineering, auto components, or process industries (pharma, chemicals, metals, cement)
• Comfort working on-site at a plant and partnering with operations teams

ESR or forging experience is a bonus, not a requirement. If you have built cost sheets and run variance analysis in a plant, we encourage you to apply.

Why join

• Defence-grade manufacturing with high business impact
• Ownership of the costing function and its systems
• Direct exposure to senior management
• Competitive compensation based on experience

Location: Hisar, Haryana (on-site)
