Job Description:

We’re seeking a highly specialised SAP PM / MRO Consultant to advise, configure, and maintain our enterprise asset management fabric. In this role, you will be hands-on in executing our digital transformation from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA, ensuring that planned end-to-end implementation results are fully realised across our aviation engine manufacturing, maintenance, and design operations. Acting as a strategic functional advisor and configuration expert, you will implement a "Clean Core" architecture by driving Fit-to-Standard workshops, establishing robust asset structures, and deploying standard asset management solutions while ensuring strict compliance with industry regulations.

Key Responsibilities

Architecture & Transition Strategy

• Business Advisory: Act as the trusted advisor to senior leadership to map high-level aviation business goals into scalable SAP S/4HANA Asset Management blueprints.
• Coexistence Support: Design temporary operational workarounds and data bridging strategies to maintain maintenance continuity during phased SAP ECC to S/4HANA rollouts.
• Landscape Strategy: Evaluate legacy customization within SAP ECC and establish a roadmap to transition towards standard S/4HANA Asset Management functionalities.

Technical Execution & Governance

• Expert Configuration: Execute hands-on configuration of complex SAP PM / EAM modules including Technical Objects, Functional Locations, Equipment Master Data, and Work Centers.
• Workshop Facilitation: Lead and facilitate end-to-end blueprinting, scoping, and Fit-to-Standard workshops with cross-functional engineering and maintenance teams.
• Value Realization: Own the functional delivery lifecycle to ensure that planned operational efficiencies, maintenance scheduling improvements, and cost savings are fully realised.

Functional & System Alignment

• Execution & Planning: Architect and configure the end-to-end processing of Maintenance Orders, Maintenance Requests/Notifications, and preventive Maintenance Plans.
• Structure Management: Define and build complex technical asset hierarchies, leveraging Equipment Bill of Materials (BOMs) and Functional Location BOMs to manage component structures.
• Process Integration: Align SAP PM configuration closely with Materials Management (MM) for rotable management, Production Planning (PP) for capacity scheduling, and QM for repair inspections.
• Ecosystem Connection: Collaborate with integration teams to connect SAP PM with third-party enterprise platforms, including Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), CAD, and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES).
• MRO Subcontracting: Configure and optimize complex MRO subcontracting and refurbishment lifecycles for internal and vendor-managed engine repairs.

Domain & Industry Compliance

• Aviation Regulation: Ensure all configured maintenance processes comply fully with CAA, EASA, FAA, ITAR, and AS9100 quality and export control standards.
• Traceability Engineering: Establish robust serialization, batch management, and equipment history tracking to guarantee absolute data genealogy for tracked engine components.

Best Practices & Innovation

• Clean Core Implementation: Enforce the utilization of standard SAP features, standard Fiori apps, and standard APIs over custom ABAP modifications to protect the digital core.
• Predictive Frameworks: Advise on the adoption of modern asset technologies, including SAP Asset Manager, predictive maintenance strategies, and mobile work execution.

Stakeholder Management & Leadership

• Technical Collaboration: Work closely with the Enterprise Architect, Data Migration Leads, and external systems integrators to align on data standards and cutover plans.
• Documentation: Author and maintain comprehensive Business Blueprint documents, functional configuration rationales, testing scripts (UAT/SIT), and operational training playbooks.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Experience: Minimum 10+ years of hands-on SAP PM / EAM consulting experience within complex, global enterprise landscapes.
• MRO Expertise: Deep, expert-level knowledge of Aerospace MRO processes, including line/base maintenance, engine overhaul workflows, and similar solutions.
• Configuration Mastery: Proven, hands-on capability to configure deep asset management structures, Equipment Master Data, Maintenance Orders, task lists, and Equipment BOMs.
• Track Record: Demonstrated experience leading at least 3 full-lifecycle SAP implementations, with a strong preference for large-scale SAP ECC to S/4HANA migrations.
• Industry Background: Extensive prior experience operating within the Aerospace & Defence, aviation engine manufacturing, or high-tech military maintenance sectors.
• ERP Exposure: Thorough understanding of structural data model differences between SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA Asset Management.
• Methodologies: Expert proficiency in operating within Agile delivery frameworks and utilizing SAP Activate methodologies.
