Ranked among the top ten firms in the Middle East by Engineering News Record (ENR), Egis is committed to sustainable development. The Group’s operations in the Middle East are built on strategic acquisitions and a deep understanding of local market conditions. Egis’ long history of providing comprehensive engineering, consulting, and project management services makes it a trusted partner for regional governments, investors, and developers. Job Description Purpose of the role Ensure the PMIS solution becomes operationally successful by protecting SAP as the system of record, ensuring correct financial integration, preventing license and scope surprises, and enabling clean reconciliation and acceptance across OpCos and corporate oversight. Key responsibilities SAP integration & data correctness (primary) Own the SAP-facing integration workstream end-to-end: Define and validate integration objects (budgets, commitments, actuals, payments, vendor data as applicable). Approve interface method and design (API/IDoc/OData/middleware) with IT Apps. Define reconciliation rules (what must match, tolerances, timing, cutoff, and error handling). Produce/validate an Interface Register (object, owner, frequency, triggers, payload, validation rules, error handling, logging). Finance process fit & configuration assurance Validate that PMIS workflows align with SAP financial controls and processes: WBS structure and coding governance compatibility Cost object mapping and reporting hierarchies Budget control points and approval logic alignment Review vendor functional design documents and confirm they are buildable without rework. UAT/SIT readiness + acceptance gates Design the SAP-relevant SIT/UAT test strategy: Test scenarios that mirror real lifecycle events (budget changes, commitments, invoices/payments, revisions, cancellations). Define UAT entry/exit criteria and “definition of done” for SAP integration. Lead defect triage for SAP-facing issues: Identify root cause (SAP config vs interface vs data vs PMIS workflow) Prioritize fixes and validate resolution. Cutover & go-live risk management Define SAP-specific cutover plan inputs: Data migration approach (what migrates, what stays, time windows) Freeze periods and reconciliation during cutover Go-live checklists and rollback criteria Ensure operational support readiness (hypercare model, incident triage rules). License and hidden-cost prevention Review solution architecture from a SAP licensing and access exposure perspective. Challenge integration and user-access patterns that could create unplanned costs. Support contract management by distinguishing: “Required to meet baseline” vs “enhancement/new scope” items. Stakeholder coordination (cross-functional) Act as the SAP counterpart to: PMIS expert (project controls/workflow governance) IT Apps/Infra (integration platform, security, environments) P&TA (standard WBS governance and controls) OpCos finance/project teams (data availability, UAT, adoption) Qualifications Years of experience : 8–12+ years, hands-on + strong governance mindset Core SAP expertise (must-have) Deep SAP finance and project-costing domain (typically FI/CO + Project Systems (PS); plus, awareness of MM/PM as needed). Proven track record integrating external systems into SAP (interfaces, middleware, APIs/IDocs/OData, error handling, reconciliation). Strong understanding of: WBS / project coding structures and their downstream accounting/reporting impacts Budget/commitment/actuals flows, cost objects, cost elements, settlement, availability control (depending on your setup) Experience supporting SIT/UAT design and execution, defect triage, and release readiness. Risk-control / governance DNA (must-have) Able to act as the ERP design authority: challenge vendor designs, prevent “assumption-driven” build, and stop scope creep. Strong grasp of licensing exposure and architectural choices that can trigger unexpected costs (e.g., access models, integration patterns). Comfortable in executive-facing governance: can explain trade-offs in plain language and document decisions. Nice-to-have (strong differentiators) SAP security/authorizations knowledge (roles, SoD concepts, audit trails). Data migration experience (opening balances, historical actuals/commitments, cutover sequencing). Public-sector / large holding-company governance exposure (multi-entity, shared services).
