About the role

We are seeking a Lead BW/4HANA Consultant to provide technical leadership across a complex, asset‑centric SAP landscape.

• Proven capability providing technical leadership and solution assurance, including design review, build quality oversight and fit‑for‑purpose validation
• Deep SAP domain knowledge across asset‑heavy areas, such as Plant Maintenance / EAM, asset master data, work management and maintenance strategies
• Experience navigating ECC to S/4HANA transitions, with an understanding of how asset and production data models evolve and impact reporting
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence outcomes and bridge operational, technical and delivery perspectives

What we offer

• Be recognised for your contribution, your thinking and your hard work, and go home knowing you’ve helped the world progress
• Attractive compensation that is aligned to the specialist nature and impact of the role
• Flexible working arrangements
• A safety-focused and inclusive working environment
• Career development to further your ambitions
• Ongoing individual wellbeing support
• Flexible working arrangements
• Be part of Rio Tinto’s global Modern ERP transformation, contributing directly to one of the organisation’s most significant multi‑year programs
• High‑impact contract role where your expertise helps shape the future of Planning & Reporting across a global enterprise

This work supports our people across global operations to spend less time on transactional tasks and more time on work that really matters. By simplifying and digitising how the organisation runs, the Modern ERP Program is creating the foundation for future productivity gains, smarter decision‑making and AI‑enabled transformation.
