Principal SAP Plant Maintenance Consultant

Principal SAP Plant Maintenance Consultant (UK)

London / Hybrid

Do you live and breathe SAP Plant Maintenance?
The kind of person who can walk into a workshop that's gone a bit… chaotic… and leave with clear requirements, a clean blueprint, and a confident route to go-live?

I'm recruiting for a Principal SAP Plant Maintenance Consultant to take ownership of end-to-end delivery, lead key stakeholders, and guide teams (including offshore) to successful implementations.

This is a senior, hands-on role for someone who can combine deep SAP PM knowledge with strong integration awareness and really solid client-facing confidence.

What you'll be doing

You'll be leading assessment and blueprint workshops, shaping the solution, and driving delivery from blueprint through to go-live and stabilisation. You'll also play a key role as the functional integration lead, working closely across modules like MM, QM, CO and PS.

There's a strong delivery focus here (not just paperwork), but you will be expected to produce clear documentation when needed, including functional specs, mapping, gap analysis and process design.

You'll also support testing and cutover end-to-end (SIT/UAT planning, scripts, execution, go-live readiness). And because this is Principal level, there's a leadership piece too, mentoring junior consultants and supporting an offshore team (around 3-4 people).

There may also be some involvement in pre-sales activity (SME input, solution direction, championing what good looks like) depending on the project pipeline.

What I'm looking for

This will suit someone who is comfortable operating at senior level with stakeholders, but still enjoys getting stuck into the detail where it matters.

You'll need:

12+ years SAP consulting experience

Strong SAP Plant Maintenance background (ideally 5+ years)

Proven end-to-end implementation delivery (greenfield and/or brownfield)

Strong experience across support environments too

Confidence working in Agile style delivery

Solid ability to translate business requirements into:

standard SAP solutions

sensible workarounds

and functional specs for build/enhancements

Excellent English and stakeholder management skills

The ability to juggle multiple work streams without drama

Nice extras (not essential, but lovely if you have them):

Oil & Gas and/or Automotive

Winshuttle, Prometheus or RPA exposure

SAP PS knowledge

You'll do well here if you're calm, commercially switched on, and naturally take ownership. It's one of those roles where you're trusted to run with it - and you're genuinely treated like the SME.

If you're even slightly curious, ping me your CV or Linked In and I'll send over a few more details and talk you through the role properly (tea optional, but encouraged ☕)
