SAP S​/EAM Lead

Back SAP S/4 EAM Lead
SAP EAM Houston, Texas Contract Jul 10, 2026

We are seeking a highly seasoned SAP S/4 Finance practitioner to serve as a Quality Engineer, to serve on behalf of the client. This is a client-side role embedded within program work streams to provide independent, hands-on experience-driven guidance during planning and design activities. This role will provide independent client-side oversight and challenge across enterprise asset management, maintenance, work management, and cross-functional design activities in a large SAP ECC to S/4

HANA transformation.

This role is intentionally designed as a client-side advocate position for a highly skilled independent SAP practitioner who brings quality perspective, delivery judgment, and transformation experience to client planning and design activities.

• Embedded in work streams.
• Acts as a client advocate and challenger.
• Drives decision integrity, traceability, and quality.
• Brings delivery-tested judgment during planning, fit-to-standard, design, and review activities.
• Provides a perspective rooted in what is best for the client in the short and long term—not solely in what is easiest for the SI to deliver.

The practitioner will be expected to operate effectively in large, complex transformation environments involving SAP ECC to SAP S/4

HANA transition, multiple work streams, cross-functional integration, formal governance forums, and significant utility-sector process complexity.

• Serve as the senior client-side advocate for SAP EAM / PM design, including asset hierarchy, technical objects, preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, work management, and planning/scheduling integration.
• Review and challenge SI designs, process flows, functional specifications, and configuration decisions to ensure they reflect utility asset-intensive realities and long-term maintainability.
• Validate design choices related to work orders, notifications, task lists, maintenance plans, asset strategies, reliability considerations, and integration to supply chain and finance.
• Help the client team assess whether proposed designs support practical field and maintenance execution across large, geographically distributed utility operations.
• Drive requirements-to-design traceability and facilitate issue resolution where process, integration, data, and work execution decisions intersect.
• Participate in governance forums and Design Authority reviews as an independent practitioner representing the client’s quality, integration, and sustainability interests.
• Provide perspective on how EAM design decisions affect capital planning, asset accounting, inventory support, outage/field execution, and long-term reporting or control requirements.
• Support key design and deliverable review cycles, including challenge sessions focused on process breakdowns, unsustainable workarounds, or over-customization risk.
• Coach client leaders and workstream members on quality disciplines, design rationale, and practical EAM operating model implications.
• Help build client capability by coaching finance leads and reinforcing durable quality disciplines across planning, design, and validation activities.

• 12-15+ years of SAP PM / EAM experience, including substantial delivery experience across SAP ECC and SAP S/4
  
  HANA transformations.
• Deep expertise in enterprise asset management for large asset-intensive organizations, including maintenance strategy, work management, and EAM integration to supply chain, finance and field service mobilization solutions.
• Strong experience evaluating design outputs, functional documents, integration designs, and process architecture.
• Hands-on experience interpreting and validating design documentation, functional specifications, process architecture, and integration designs.
• Working knowledge of SAP Activate, Fit-to-Standard, and end-to-end process design in major transformation environments.
• Experience implementing large, complex, multi-jurisdiction SAP Transformations is required.
• Experience across both SAP ECC and SAP S/4
  
  HANA environments is required.
