Summary:
As an SAP EWM Consultant, you will own a module workstream end to end, from design decisions through to cutover, leading a small team while remaining hands-on for Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) within the Supply chain & logistics tower of the DRS SAP programme. The role exists to own warehouse execution in SAP EWM, where configuration decisions translate directly into travel distance, wave completion times and dock turnaround.
You carry the workstream delivery commitment: defensible estimates, early disclosure of risk, and diagnosis to root cause rather than escalation. You are expected to make AI a measurable productivity lever for your team, governed by a defined validation standard.
Roles & Responsibilities:
Scope & Decision Rights: Own the module design. You determine configuration approach, estimates and sequencing for the workstream and approve the deliverables of the engineers you lead cross-module design changes are agreed with the process area lead.
Warehouse Structure & Storage Control: Configure warehouse structure, storage types, sections, bins and activity areas, and design process-oriented and layout-oriented storage control for the physical layout in scope.
Putaway, Removal & Wave Management: Configure putaway and stock removal strategies, warehouse order creation rules and wave management so that work reaches the floor in executable packages.
RF & Shop-Floor Execution: Configure the RF framework and mobile transactions, including the screen flow used by operators, and resolve execution problems observed on the floor as well as in configuration.
Inbound, Outbound & Physical Inventory: Configure inbound and outbound delivery processing, packing and handling unit management, and physical inventory including cycle counting.
Integration & Dependencies: Work with Inventory Management for stock accuracy, with Order Management and Returns for delivery flow, with Transportation Management for loading and with Production for staging where relevant.
Workstream Delivery Ownership: Estimate, sequence and deliver the module workstream against milestones, enforcing the quality gates for configuration, specifications, test evidence and defect containment.
Issue Diagnosis & Corrective Action: Lead resolution where wave processing or RF execution degrading during peak and holding up outbound shipments places a milestone at risk: diagnose across configuration, data and integration layers, evaluate options against time and risk, and drive the agreed course to closure.
AI-Enabled Delivery & Joule Agent Specification: Build and maintain the reusable prompt and accelerator set for wave and task performance analysis, execution exception triage and scenario test generation, define the validation standard applied within the team, and evidence the effort saved. Use SAP Joule for Consultants as standard practice and curate its grounding content for this module. Identify Joule agent use cases, write the specification and supply the process context the AI and AIDLC tower builds, and you validate the result against the business outcome.
Team Leadership & Mentoring: Lead a small delivery team, allocate work to capability, review deliverables before release, and develop engineers in both module depth and delivery discipline.
Stakeholder Management: Lead requirement and design workshops with business process owners, present options, impacts and risks in business terms, and defend scope where change threatens the committed date.
Professional & Technical Skills:
Must-Have Skills
EWM Configuration: Design and configuration ownership of EWM warehouse structure, storage control, putaway and removal strategies and warehouse order creation rules.
Embedded or Decentralised EWM: Demonstrated experience delivering EWM in embedded or decentralised deployment, including the delivery distribution and queue behaviour that goes with it.
RF Framework: Design and configuration ownership of the RF framework and mobile execution, including screen and logical transaction design.
Handling Units & Packing: Strong expertise in HU management, packing specifications and packaging material configuration.
Physical Inventory: Demonstrated experience configuring and supporting physical inventory and cycle counting in a live warehouse.
