• We require proven, hands-on capability to configure deep asset management structures, Equipment Master Data, Maintenance Orders, task lists, and Equipment BOMs.

Responsibilities:

• We advise, configure, and maintain our enterprise asset management environment as part of our SAP PM / MRO transformation.
• We support our digital transformation from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA and help ensure end-to-end implementation outcomes are realised across our aviation engine manufacturing, maintenance, and design operations.
• We act as strategic functional advisors and configuration experts, implementing a Clean Core architecture through Fit-to-Standard workshops and standard asset management solutions.
• We map high-level aviation business goals into scalable SAP S/4HANA Asset Management blueprints.
• We design temporary operational workarounds and data bridging strategies to maintain maintenance continuity during phased SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA rollouts.
• We evaluate legacy customisation in SAP ECC and define a roadmap toward standard SAP S/4HANA Asset Management functionality.
• We execute hands-on configuration of SAP PM / EAM modules, including Technical Objects, Functional Locations, Equipment Master Data, and Work Centers.
• We lead and facilitate blueprinting, scoping, and Fit-to-Standard workshops with cross-functional engineering and maintenance teams.
• We own the functional delivery lifecycle to realise operational efficiencies, improved maintenance scheduling, and cost savings.
• We architect and configure Maintenance Orders, Maintenance Requests/Notifications, and preventive Maintenance Plans end to end.
• We define and build complex technical asset hierarchies using Equipment BOMs and Functional Location BOMs.
• We align SAP PM configuration with Materials Management, Production Planning, and QM processes.
• We collaborate with integration teams to connect SAP PM with PLM, CAD, and MES platforms.
• We configure and optimise MRO subcontracting and refurbishment lifecycles for internal and vendor-managed engine repairs.
• We ensure all maintenance processes comply with CAA, EASA, FAA, ITAR, and AS9100 standards.
• We establish serialization, batch management, and equipment history tracking to guarantee full data genealogy for tracked engine components.
• We enforce the use of standard SAP features, standard Fiori apps, and standard APIs over custom ABAP modifications.
• We advise on SAP Asset Manager, predictive maintenance strategies, and mobile work execution.
• We work closely with the Enterprise Architect, Data Migration Leads, and external systems integrators on data standards and cutover plans.
