We are looking for an experienced SAP ISU DM (Device Management) professional to join our Utilities practice as a Senior Consultant / Lead. The ideal candidate will have strong end-to-end implementation and support experience in SAP IS-Utilities with a specialization in Device Management, and should be capable of leading a module independently, mentoring junior consultants, and engaging directly with client stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design, configuration, and implementation of SAP ISU Device Management (DM) processes including device installation, removal, replacement, and device history tracking.

• Handle end-to-end configuration of Technical Master Data — Connection Objects, Premises, Installations, Devices, Device Categories, Register Groups, and Rate Types.

• Work extensively on Meter Reading (MR) processes — MR order creation, upload/download of meter reading results, plausibility checks, and MR unit configuration.

• Manage Device Management integration with Billing, Invoicing, and Move-In/Move-Out (MIMO) processes.

• Configure and support AMI/Smart Metering integration (IDEX, EDM/MDUS) where applicable.

• Lead requirement gathering workshops with business/client stakeholders, prepare Functional Specifications (FS) and Business Blueprint documents.

• Coordinate with ABAP/technical teams for enhancements, RFCs, BAPIs, user exits, and custom developments related to DM.

• Drive integration testing, UAT, cutover, and data migration activities for Device Management objects.

• Provide production support, root cause analysis, and resolution for DM-related incidents (P1/P2 issues).

• Mentor and guide junior consultants; review deliverables for quality and adherence to best practices.

• Collaborate with cross-functional SAP ISU teams (FICA, Billing, EDM, CRM) for end-to-end process alignment.

• Prepare and maintain functional documentation, test scripts, and training material.

Required Skills & Experience

• 8-10 years of overall SAP experience, with a minimum of 6-7 years dedicated to SAP ISU Device Management.

• Strong hands-on expertise in:

o Technical Master Data (Connection Object, Premise, Installation, Device)

o Meter Reading process configuration and MR order management

o Device installation/removal/replacement workflows

o Register groups, rate types, and profile management

o Integration between DM, Billing, and Invoicing

• Working knowledge of SAP FICA and SAP EDM/Billing module integration points.

• Exposure to Smart Metering / AMI integration (IDEX, third-party MDM systems) is a strong plus.

• Good understanding of ABAP debugging, user exits, BAdIs, and interface architecture (functional-level, not core development).

• Experience in leading data migration/cutover activities for DM objects.

• Prior experience working with utility companies (Electricity, Gas, or Water) is highly preferred.

• Strong client-facing skills — requirement gathering, workshops, stakeholder management.

• Experience in S/4HANA Utilities (C4U) is an added advantage.
