About the Role

We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Project Manager with a strong EPC domain background to lead and manage ERP implementation and transformation projects across diverse business units. The ideal candidate will bring deep understanding of EPC operations and project management expertise, combined with the ability to drive digital transformation through effective stakeholder engagement, structured execution, and change leadership.

As part of an ERP consulting firm, this role requires a balanced mindset—someone who understands that ERP is not just a system change, but a change in mindset and process culture. The individual must demonstrate stability, maturity, and the ability to lead by example.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end ERP projects – from planning, scoping, and resource allocation to delivery, go-live, and post-implementation stabilization.
• Apply EPC industry knowledge to align ERP design and processes with real-world engineering, procurement, and construction workflows.
• Engage and manage stakeholders across levels – including senior leadership, functional heads, IT teams, vendors, and end-users – ensuring alignment and clear communication.
• Define project scope, objectives, resource plans, timelines, and success metrics in collaboration with business and technology teams.
• Oversee project governance, including risk management, issue resolution, budget control, and status reporting to steering committees and executive sponsors.
• Facilitate change management and user adoption, driving awareness, readiness, and training initiatives to ensure successful transition.
• Track and report project progress, highlighting key achievements, risks, and mitigation plans in a structured and transparent manner.
• Lead by example—demonstrating stability, accountability, and commitment to both project goals and team cohesion.
• Travel as required for project-related activities, especially during go-live and stabilization phases (typically ranging from 2 to 20 days per assignment).

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Business Administration, or a related discipline.
• 7–12 years of experience managing large-scale EPC projects, with hands-on exposure to project execution, procurement, and supply chain processes.
• Proven experience in project management methodologies (PMP / Prince2 certification preferred).
• Strong understanding of core business processes such as project costing, procurement, inventory, and logistics.
• Prior experience working with or implementing ERP systems (SAP / Oracle / MS Dynamics / Infor / etc.) is an advantage.
• Exceptional stakeholder management and communication skills with the ability to navigate complex organizational structures.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities, drive accountability, and deliver results under pressure.
• Open to business travel on a need basis for project execution, go-live, and stabilization support.

Personal Attributes

• Stable and composed mindset with strong problem-solving and decision-making ability.
• Adaptable and collaborative leader who can influence without authority.
• Passionate about driving digital transformation and continuous improvement.
• Strong business acumen with the ability to bridge technology and operations.
