SAP PP Functional Consultant – S/4HANA | Adelaide | Process Manufacturing
We're partnering with a well-established manufacturing organisation undergoing continued transformation within their SAP landscape, and they're looking for a highly capable SAP PP Functional Consultant to become the key PP specialist on-site in Adelaide.
This is not a passive support role.
The business needs someone who can confidently operate as the go-to SAP PP expert within manufacturing operations - someone who understands production environments, can influence stakeholders on the floor, solve real production issues, and build practical SAP PP solutions that work in the real world.
The role will sit across approximately:
* 70% project and enhancement work
* 30% production support and operational troubleshooting
You'll be the primary SAP PP presence locally, so the ability to work autonomously, build trusted relationships, and take ownership is critical.
What They're Looking For
Strong Hands‐On SAP PP Configuration Experience
You should be confident configuring and supporting:
* MRP
* BOMs
* Routings
* Production Versions
* Production Planning processes
This is a genuinely hands‐on functional role, not a coordination or oversight position.
Key Experience Required
SAP PP within Manufacturing Environments
Strong functional SAP PP background
Building end‐to‐end PP solutions in S/4
Experience operating within live manufacturing environments
S/4HANA Exposure
* Ideally involved in S/4HANA implementations or post‐go‐live environments
* Experience supporting or improving PP processes within S/4 landscapes
* Fiori
Process Manufacturing Preferred
Experience within process manufacturing industries will be highly regarded, including:
* Food & Beverage
* Chemicals
* Pharmaceuticals
* FMCG
* Process‐based production environments
PPDS Exposure (Nice to Have)
Any exposure to PPDS would be viewed very positively.
What Will Make Someone Successful
The client is specifically looking for someone who:
* Can operate independently
* Is proactive and solutions‐focused
* Has credibility with production and manufacturing stakeholders
* Can troubleshoot production issues calmly and practically
* Knows how to balance operational support with improvement work
* Has a "driver" mentality rather than a support‐only mindset
They want someone who has personally solved production‐impacting SAP issues — not someone who simply escalated tickets.
Example Questions You Should Be Comfortable Answering
* Tell us about a production issue that impacted the business. What caused it and how did you fix it?
* What PP configuration have you personally completed recently?
* How have you supported manufacturing teams post‐go‐live?
* What differences have you experienced moving from ECC to S/4HANA?
Location
* On‐site role
* Long‐term opportunity within a collaborative manufacturing environment
If you're someone who enjoys being close to the business, solving real operational problems, and owning SAP PP outcomes end‐to‐end — this is the kind of role where you can genuinely make an impact.
