SAP PP / QM Consultant (MRP Monitoring)
CGIPosition Description Our client has acquired a business and is transitioning 65 applications, including the SAP landscape covered by these roles, from the acquired business's legacy landscape into its own. Transition is about to begin. These roles will carry their process areas through the full arc: knowledge transfer and transition of the applications into the client's target environment, stabilization once they are live there, and steady state run with defined SLAs, runbooks, and clean documentation. The delivery model is global. These consultants will work daily with CGI and client transition and application teams in other regions and time zones, and with third party vendors supporting the surrounding applications. Candidates need to be effective in that setting: clear written communication, disciplined handoffs, and the willingness to flex hours for overlap when the work requires it. This role can be based remotely anywhere in the United States however Dallas, Texas is highly preferred. Due to the nature of the work and in compliance with federal regulations, an active security clearance is required for this position. Your future duties and responsibilities You will support production planning and quality management for a discrete manufacturing environment, with a particular emphasis on MRP health: monitoring planning runs, resolving exception messages, and keeping the planning data clean enough that the shop floor can trust it. Planning data is rarely clean after a move, so early work will focus on documenting current planning behavior, then validating master data and MRP results in the target environment before the shop floor can rely on them. Aerospace manufacturing runs on long lead times, serialized parts, and strict quality documentation, so attention to detail matters more here than speed. Configure and support SAP PP: material master planning views, BOMs, routings, work centers, MRP configuration, production orders, capacity planning, and shop floor confirmations. Own MRP monitoring: run and review MRP results, work exception messages (MD06, MD07), analyze stock/requirements lists, and partner with planners and buyers to clear backlog and correct master data that causes planning noise. Configure and support SAP QM: inspection plans, inspection lots, results recording, usage decisions, quality notifications, certificates of analysis, and quality info records for vendor qualification. Support serialization, batch management, and traceability requirements, including as built configuration and nonconformance handling. Troubleshoot production issues across PP and QM and drive fixes through change control. Lead the transition of your process area into the client's target environment: take knowledge transfer, document current state configuration and interfaces, validate migrated configuration and data, and confirm interfaces work end to end. Stabilize and run: establish steady state support processes, write runbooks and knowledge transfer documentation, and move the area to defined SLAs. Collaborate daily with distributed CGI and client teams across regions and time zones, and with third party vendors on connected applications. Required Qualifications To Be Successful In This Role 8+ years of SAP PP configuration experience in a discrete manufacturing environment, with at least one full lifecycle implementation. 4+ years of SAP QM configuration experience, including vendor quality and in process inspection. Deep practical understanding of MRP: planning parameters, lot sizing, scheduling, exception handling, and the master data that drives it. Working knowledge of PP integration with MM, SD, CO (product costing), and PM. Experience on an M&A integration, carve out, or application transition program, including the shift from transition through stabilization into run. Proven ability to work with globally distributed teams and flex hours for time zone overlap. Active U.S. security clearance (Secret or higher preferred). U.S. …
