About the Role

SAP Production Planning (PP) and Plant Maintenance (PM) Functional Consultant

The Opportunity

Tired of being one voice among many on SAP PP/PM decisions? In this role, you'll act as the primary architect for Production Planning, Shop Floor Execution, and Plant Maintenance across SAP S/4HANA. That means the design decisions, the enhancements, and the technical direction sit with you.

The Role

You'll own SAP PP/PM functionality end to end: configuration, enhancements, and technical design specs for ABAP development.

You'll support production incidents and service requests alongside new SDLC configuration and development, so no two weeks look the same.

You'll partner cross-functionally with internal teams, vendors, and business partners, giving you visibility across the full implementation lifecycle, not just your corner of it.

You'll own current and new localization for M&A locations and guide external consultants on localization requests, which means your expertise shapes how newly acquired sites come online.

The Company

Our client is an industry-leading business, currently growing its SAP S/4HANA footprint across multiple sites, including newly acquired locations. That growth is exactly why this role exists: someone needs to own the PP/PM architecture as the landscape expands.

What You'll Need

  • 8 to 10 years hands-on SAP Production Planning (PP) and Plant Maintenance (PM) experience, with strong end-to-end process knowledge
  • 3+ full lifecycle SAP ECC/S4HANA implementations
  • Experience with MRP, demand and forecasting, process industry production planning, shop floor execution, and Quality Management
  • Deep master data knowledge: Resources, BOMs, Recipes, Production Versions, Equipment, Functional Locations, Preventative Maintenance Plans
