About the role
We are looking for an experienced SAP PP Consultant to lead the design, configuration and deployment of Production Planning solutions. You will own PP from requirements gathering through go-live and hypercare, and help roll out a global template to new plants and regions.
You will work closely with business users, manufacturing teams and other SAP module consultants to deliver integrated, stable production processes.
Key responsibilities
• Lead SAP PP workstreams across end-to-end implementations, from blueprint and fit-gap analysis through build, testing, cutover, go-live and hypercare.
• Deploy global templates to new plants and regions in rollout projects, handling localisation and site-specific requirements.
• Configure PP master data and processes: material master (MRP views), BOMs, routings, work centres, production versions and resource planning.
• Set up and support MRP and MRP Live, demand management, capacity planning and production order processing.
• Configure discrete, repetitive and/or process manufacturing scenarios to fit business needs.
• Ensure integration with MM, SD, QM, PM, WM/EWM and FI/CO.
• Write functional specifications for reports, interfaces, enhancements and forms, and work with ABAP developers to deliver them.
• Plan and run unit, integration and user acceptance testing.
• Prepare data migration templates and support master data cleansing and loads.
• Train key users and write process documentation and user guides.
• Provide post-go-live support and resolve production issues within SLAs.
Must-have skills
• SAP PP configuration: hands-on with master data, MRP, capacity planning and production orders.
• End-to-end implementation: at least one full-cycle SAP implementation as the PP consultant.
• Rollouts: at least two template rollout projects.
• Cross-module integration: working knowledge of how PP connects with MM, SD, QM and FI/CO.
• Functional specifications: writing clear specs for RICEFW objects and working with developers.
Good-to-have skills
• SAP S/4HANA: implementation or ECC-to-S/4HANA migration experience, including MRP Live and Fiori apps.
• PP/DS: advanced planning and detailed scheduling in embedded or standalone setups.
• Adjacent modules: QM or PM configuration experience.
• MES integration: linking SAP with shop-floor systems such as SAP DMC or third-party MES.
• SAP Activate methodology and SAP PP certification.
Qualifications
• B.E./B.Tech, MBA (Operations) or equivalent; a background in mechanical, production or industrial engineering is a plus.
• Strong communication skills for business workshops and stakeholder management.
• Willingness to travel to plant locations during rollouts and go-lives.
