SAP EWM Consultant

About ORBIS America

ORBIS America is the North American subsidiary of ORBIS SE, a global SAP software and consulting firm headquartered in Germany, with 900 employees and 35+ years of international experience. ORBIS America has been implementing SAP for manufacturing companies across North America since 1999, helping mid-market manufacturers across the US, Canada, and Mexico modernize their operations — combining deep process expertise with our own SAP-integrated solutions for manufacturing, including mobile apps for warehouses and shop floors, product costing, MES integration, and intralogistics.

We specialize in guiding companies through international rollouts (Germany-US-Canada-Mexico), RISE with SAP journeys, and application support across Industrial, Automotive, Electrical/Electronic, Logistics, and Engineer-to-Order manufacturing.

The role

We are expanding our warehouse management capability in the US, and we are seeking a consultant to lead EWM work streams on our S/4

HANA implementations for discrete manufacturers — from analyzing a client's current warehouse operations, through system design and configuration, to on-site support at go-live. EWM is where SAP meets physical reality and as a trusted advisor to our clients, you will play a key role in establishing EWM as a growing service line within our US operations.

What you will do

• Analyze and map warehouse and logistics processes: inbound and outbound processing, internal movements, physical inventory, and RF-guided execution.
• Run workshops with client logistics teams — translating the physical reality of a warehouse into a system design its operators will actually accept.
• Design and configure SAP EWM (embedded in S/4
  
  HANA): storage types and activity areas, warehouse tasks and orders, wave management, and the RF framework.
• Model the warehouse in the system — storage bins and bin structures, staging areas, and work centers — and design the putaway and slotting strategies that decide where every pallet lands.
• Design picking, packing, and shipping: pick-path logic, handling-unit management, packing specifications, and the outbound handoff to carriers and transportation.
• Configure production supply for discrete manufacturers — staging and replenishing components to the line, where EWM meets PP and the shop floor.
• Ensure seamless integration of EWM with MM, PP, and SD to support end-to-end supply chain visibility and process alignment.
• Design and build the RF and print layer — mobile scanning workflows, screen logic, and barcode/label printing — that directly supports day-to-day warehouse operations.
• Write functional specifications, coordinate with our ABAP developers, test, and support go-lives on-site.
• Handle stock data migration and cutover, then support go-lives on-site: hypercare, key-user training, and standing on the shop floor when the first RF gun scans a real pallet.
• Help establish EWM as a service line in our growing US operation.

What you bring

• 3+ years of SAP EWM experience — or strong WM experience with a deliberate move to EWM — including at least one full implementation.
• A real understanding of physical logistics in manufacturing: how goods actually move, and why warehouse staff ignore systems that were designed without them.
• Experience leading workshops and writing functional specifications.
• Strong, proactive communication across functional teams, customers, and partners.
• A bachelor’s degree in supply chain, engineering, computer science, business, or a related field or equivalent experience.
• High degree of professionalism, discretion, sound judgment, and resourcefulness, with the ability to independently navigate situations where established processes or guidance may be limited.
• Active military, transitioning service…
