A global organisation that operate in the Energy space are on looking for a SAP Ariba Specialist to join their hybrid team in Aberdeen (4 days onsite per week).

They've been running successfully now for over 20 years and are considered as global leaders in the delivery of offshore projects and services, in a booming and ever-evolving industry. Some of their main activities include installation and construction, offshore renewables, decommissioning and engineering, amongst others.

You'll be joining a small squad based out of Aberdeen that specialise in SAP systems and will be involved in a big digital transformation project for the organisation. You'll join their dynamic team and take the lead in shaping the future of SAP systems for the organisation. As a key member of the SAP SCM team, you'll work closely with the SAP SCM Team Lead and Global SAP Manager to plan and execute an exciting SAP roadmap that drives innovation across the business. You'll have the opportunity to prioritise and manage the execution of high-impact Change Requests and support tickets, ensuring smooth operations across SAP and SAP Ariba modules. Your expertise will directly support end-users across multiple regions globally, empowering teams to maximise their efficiency. With a strong focus on compliance, you'll ensure all SAP systems, processes, and services adhere to security and architectural standards. As an advocate for best practices, you'll play a critical role in driving the implementation of global standard processes for both functional and IT support. Lastly, and arguably most importantly, you'll identify and capitalise on opportunities to optimise SAP solutions, elevating organisational efficiency to new heights.

You'll ideally have commercial experience with the following;

** Working in an SAP environment

** ITIL Standard Processes
** Ariba modules (sourcing, contract and Lifecycle Performance), any certifications would be highly desirable

** SAP technical architecture knowledge is highly desirable

This role would suit an experienced SAP Specialist looking to join a high-performing team, at a really stable organisation that are continuously growing. In addition to a busy pipeline of projects, the organisation are very big believers in personal development and career growth - so you'll have lots of opportunities to learn new skills, gain accreditations and even pick up additional responsibilities if required.

Their offices are based just outside of Aberdeen, with good transport links and onsite parking. They do support hybrid working and you'll be expected onsite roughly four days per week - so are ideally looking for someone already local.

In return they're able to offer a salary of £40k - £50k for this role, depending on experience and ability, with a good benefits to package to match - not to mention lots of opportunities for personal development and career growth.

If you match most of the criteria and are keen to learn more please apply or contact Matthew MacApline at Cathcart Technology to discuss further.

Our clients

Candidates

She was friendly, communicative and informative, talked me through the process and gave me good advice at every stage.

Software Engineer – Manchester

She even was able to help get a firmer offer as I was offered two roles on the same day. I felt she went over and above to get the best offer she could for me without selling myself short.

QA Engineer – Glasgow

It was a breath of fresh air – She is professional and approachable and will be there to help you every step of the way. Other recruiters give you the hard sell and the ‘best friend routine’ to get you on board and then just leave you guessing, but not here… She’s the real deal

Solutions Architect – Glasgow

Absolutely fantastic throughout my interview process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! First of all, he is an absolutely brilliant communicator and extremely reliable. On top of all of his brilliant recruitment skills, it was amazing to see how genuinely excited he was for me when I received my offer. This truly conveyed to me how much he cares about his clients.

Software Engineer – Edinburgh

I’ve never written a recommendation for a recruiter before, so it must show how impressed I am!

Software Developer – Northampton

Equal parts friendly and professional, never once coming across as simply going through the motions and made the whole thing as painless as possible for all parties

Software Developer – Glasgow

THE BEST test recruiter I’ve had the pleasure of working with, from start to finish. She provided me with training resources and is an organiser and participant in testing events. She really has taken the time to fully understand the testing principles.

Test Analyst – Aberdeen

I have had dealings with the majority of recruitment agencies in this country and beyond. He really stands out from the crowd and the IT industry would benefit from more people like him.

Software Developer – Glasgow

Compared to other recruiters I have worked with she seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my job search rather than just fulfilling quotas.

Software Developer – Lincoln

A friend looking after me, that’s how I felt. His friendly character made the whole process way easier and enjoyable, he also managed to get me one of the most interesting work opportunities. I’m really glad our paths have crossed.

Software Engineer - Edinburgh

I can say with total sincerity I’ve never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable and personable recruitment firm in fifteen years of contracting. They helped my wife and I relocate to Edinburgh with our five month old son and it’s in no small part to their tips and recommendations that we’ve settled in so quickly.

Transformation Consultant – Leeds

Never have a I met a recruiter like him, who embeds himself in the community so thoroughly in a way that could only be genuine. From our conversations, he has shown an understanding of the industry I would expect from a local CTO.

MI Analyst – Bolton

He is the most honest, thorough and experienced recruitment consultant I have ever dealt with. If he can’t help you, he’ll tell you rather than spinning a yarn and putting you forward for jobs that aren’t suitable.

Technical Author – Edinburgh

He stood out in a world of poorly informed, unreliable and frankly annoying recruiters as a breath of fresh air.

Data Scientist – Manchester

He goes out of his way to ensure you are prepared for your interview and I particularly appreciated his professional no nonsense approach to working with me to find a new position.

Infrastructure Architect – Glasgow
