We are looking for a SAP Implementation and Projects Engineer to join EIS based at Sheffield- Blackburn meadows with hybrid working.

Here’s what you’ll be doing:

• Play a key role in shaping how maintenance and work management processes operate across our generation fleet.
• Drive the successful implementation and adoption of SAP, ensuring maintenance activities are well planned, accurately recorded and supported by high-quality asset data.
• Provide engineering support to site improvement projects and operational initiatives, helping teams deliver work safely, efficiently and in line with business standards.

Key responsibilities:

• Act as the focal point for SAP PM and associated work management processes across the generation fleet, ensuring consistent application of standards and high-quality maintenance records.
• Lead readiness and implementation activities for SAP changes/releases, including impact assessment, stakeholder engagement, local communications, and adoption support across the business.
• Liaise with Central teams and business workstreams to raise, track and resolve SAP PM incidents, enhancements, master data issues, and system defects.
• Coordinate and support testing of SAP changes in relevant environments, ensuring structured feedback and smooth transition to production.
• Promote effective use of approved SAP tools and user interfaces (e.g., Fiori apps where applicable), coaching users and improving ways of working.
• Maintain governance of maintenance documentation and record retention (e.g., work history and supporting evidence) to support audits and assurance.
• Provide engineering input to support delivery of projects and improvement initiatives across disciplines (electrical/mechanical/C&I as required by site needs), focusing on coordination, documentation, interfaces and delivery control.
• Support contractor coordination for project and maintenance activities, ensuring expectations on safety, quality and compliance are met.
• Support feasibility reviews and early project definition (options, scope, risks, and deliverability).
• Support project close-out and handover, ensuring SAP updates (equipment records, maintenance plans/task lists where applicable, history and documentation) are completed to standard.
• Ensure SAP processes and project support activities align with site safe systems of work, statutory obligations and E.ON governance.

What we need from you:

• Engineering background with a recognised technical qualification (e.g., ONC/HNC/NVQ Level 3+ or equivalent) in an engineering discipline (electrical, mechanical, C&I, or similar).
• Strong working knowledge of SAP PM and maintenance/work management processes (work order lifecycle, notifications, planning discipline, history capture, basic reporting).
• Experience supporting system/process implementation or change in an operational environment (training support, adoption, testing, user guidance, continuous improvement).
• Experience in an industrial/regulated environment with strong understanding of safe systems of work and compliance expectations.
• Strong planning, organisation and stakeholder management skills; able to coach and influence users at all levels.
• Strong attention to detail, data integrity mindset, and ability to translate operational needs into practical SAP-enabled processes.

It would be great if you had:

• Experience supporting site projects (coordination, contractor interface, documentation, close-out/handover).
• Experience supporting testing/UAT and release readiness activities.
• Understanding of asset management fundamentals (criticality, maintenance strategies, defect elimination).
• Familiarity with document control/audit evidence preparation in regulated environments.
