What You Will Do

• Solution Architecture Design
• Own and maintain the SAP PM Solution

Blueprint: Functional Location (FL) hierarchy, Equipment master structure, notification-to-order workflow design, maintenance strategies, and work center model.

• Lead Fit-Gap workshops with client Operations, Asset Management, and IT stakeholders to align SAP standard processes with utility business requirements.
• Design end-to-end work order lifecycle workflows: corrective maintenance, preventive maintenance, predictive maintenance triggers, capital project integration (PS), and permits-to-work.
• Define configuration standards and document design decisions in a Business Process Master List (BPML) and Configuration Rationale Log.
• Establish the SAP PM data model: asset hierarchy depth, classification/characteristics schema, measuring points, counter readings, and floc/equipment numbering conventions.
• Integration Architecture
• Define integration architecture between SAP PM and adjacent systems: GIS (Esri Arc GIS / Smallworld), mobile field workforce management (SAP Work Manager, Prometheus, Service Max), OMS/DMS, and SCADA.
• Collaborate with integration architects on interface specifications: asset record synchronization (GIS → PM), outage-driven notifications (OMS → PM), and field completion callbacks (mobile → PM).
• Design the MM-PM interface: MRO material master linkage, BOM structures for rotatable assets, reservation and goods issue workflows, and inventory location assignments.
• Define PM-PS integration for capital work: WBS-to-order linkage, cost collector design, settlement rules, and budget monitoring touchpoints.
• Data Migration Oversight
• Define the asset data migration strategy: source-to-target mapping for functional locations, equipment records, task lists, and measurement documents.
• Establish data quality rules and cleansing standards for legacy asset data (Maximo, legacy SAP, custom CMMS) migrated into SAP PM.
• Lead data validation and reconciliation activities in mock cutover cycles; own defect resolution for PM data migration issues.
• Partner with the cutover lead to define the PM data load sequence and interdependency map (materials before equipment, FL hierarchy before FL records, etc.).
• Configuration and Build Governance
• Lead or directly perform SAP PM configuration in alignment with the approved solution blueprint; govern configuration requests through the change control board.
• Establish and enforce configuration standards across the functional team; conduct structured peer reviews of configuration workbooks.
• Oversee development of RICEF objects (Reports, Interfaces, Conversions, Enhancements, Forms) in collaboration with ABAP/technical teams; own functional specifications.
• Manage configuration transport strategy across DEV/QAS/PRD landscapes.
• Testing and Quality Assurance
• Author and review functional test scripts for SAP PM unit testing, system integration testing (SIT), and user acceptance testing (UAT).
• Lead resolution of PM-related defects during SIT and UAT cycles; triage and prioritize against go-live criteria.
• Validate end-to-end business process scenarios spanning PM, MM, FI-CO, GIS, and mobile touchpoints.
• Team Leadership and Knowledge Transfer
• Lead a team of 3–8 SAP PM functional consultants across design, build, test, and deploy phases.
• Mentor junior consultants on SAP PM configuration, utility work management processes, and client engagement skills.
• Support design and deliver role-based training curriculum for client super users and end users (planners, schedulers, field technicians, supervisors).
• Produce comprehensive knowledge transfer materials enabling client team self-sufficiency post go-live: configuration guides, process flows, and hypercare runbooks.

What You Will Need

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering (Electrical, Mechanical, Industrial), Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field required. (Relevant experience may be substituted for formal education or advanced degree)
• 10+ years of SAP consulting experience with a minimum of 5 years specializing in SAP PM/EAM.
• Minimum 3 full‑lifecycle SAP PM implementations in a lead architect, solution lead, or functional lead capacity.

What Would Be Nice To Have

• SAP Certified Application Associate – SAP S/4HANA Asset Management or Plant Maintenance (ECC).
• Experience with SAP Work Manager (SMP‑based mobile solution) or Prometheus Platform for field mobility.
• Knowledge of SAP PM integration with Esri Arc GIS Utility Network (UN) or Smallworld GIS, including asset synchronization patterns.
• Exposure to SAP Asset Intelligence Network (AIN) or SAP Predictive Asset Insights (PAI) for Io T‑driven maintenance scenarios.
• Experience with Rise with SAP / S/4HANA Public Cloud asset management configuration in a utility context.
• Familiarity with IBM Maximo or Oracle WAMS/WACS data models—critical when leading migrations from these platforms into SAP PM.
• Knowledge of NERC CIP, NIST SP 800-82, or IEC 62443 as they apply to OT asset management systems residing in or adjacent to the utility control network.
• Proficiency with SAP Solution Manager or Focused Build for test management and requirements traceability.
• Experience with utility maintenance standards: NESC, distribution line maintenance programs, transmission maintenance strategies, and gas integrity management programs (DIMP/TIMP) as inputs to PM maintenance plan design.
• At least 2 implementations at electric, gas, or water utilities with demonstrated knowledge of utility‑specific work management requirements (outage management integration, GIS‑driven asset records, regulatory compliance maintenance plans).
• Hands‑on SAP PM configuration experience across: FL structures, equipment master, maintenance orders/notifications, task lists, maintenance plans/items, scheduling parameters, and work centers.
• Direct experience leading data migration efforts for SAP PM asset records (functional locations and equipment) from legacy systems.
• Experience designing or implementing SAP PM integration with at least one GIS platform or mobile field workforce solution.
• Proficient SAP PM configuration across ECC 6.0 and S/4HANA (on‑premise); working knowledge of S/4HANA PM enhancements (Fiori‑based maintenance, asset intelligence network concepts).
• Strong working knowledge of MM (materials management, MRO procurement, inventory management) and its PM interdependencies.
• Understanding of PM‑FI/CO cost flows: cost centers, internal orders, WBS elements, settlement rules, and variance analysis.
• Familiarity with SAP PM integration options: BAPI/RFC patterns, standard IDocs, BTP integration suite, and third‑party middleware (Mule Soft, Dell Boomi).

The annual salary range for this position is $206,000.00–$343,000.00.

Compensation decisions depend on a wide range of factors, including but not limited to skill sets, experience and training, security clearances, licensure and certifications, and other business and organizational needs.
