Accountabilities
Lead end-to-end solution design for enterprise maintenance environments, defining how mobile, digital, and AI capabilities transform existing workflows.
Conduct onsite discovery sessions, assessments, workshops, and gap analyses with maintenance, reliability, operations, and IT stakeholders.
Map current maintenance and repair processes and define detailed future-state workflows, including work order execution, notifications, confirmations, time and materials, measurements, parts handling, and offline field operations.
Define how AI-enabled capabilities can automate manual steps, capture information at the point of work, and improve the use of maintenance data.
Act as the design authority for SAP PM integration, master data structures, mobile configurations, security roles, and user access.
Translate solution designs into clear implementation plans that functional consultants can execute.
Review deployed solutions across existing customer accounts to determine whether the design continues to reflect actual operational requirements.
Develop structured action plans distinguishing design improvements from configuration, data, and training requirements, with clear ownership, sequencing, and effort estimates.
Identify additional processes, sites, and capabilities that could benefit from digital transformation and build expansion cases around measurable operational value.
Quantify and communicate business value using maintenance KPIs such as wrench time, schedule compliance, backlog health, PM/PdM completion, MTBF, and MTTR.
Coach functional consultants on maintenance processes, solution design principles, and architectural decision-making.
Support sales teams with technical discovery, solution scoping, customer presentations, and strategic solution discussions.
Build trusted relationships with senior operations and IT stakeholders and confidently communicate technical recommendations to both executive audiences and frontline maintenance teams.

Demonstrated experience transitioning industrial sites from paper-based work orders to mobile maintenance execution.
Proven ability to assess live customer environments, identify gaps between deployed solutions and operational reality, and develop actionable plans for implementation teams.
Strong practical understanding of maintenance and repair operations, including notification intake, work order management, confirmations, parts management, and closeout data quality.
Experience presenting quantified business cases to operations and IT executives while also being comfortable discussing process changes directly with frontline teams.
Experience defining security roles and access requirements for maintenance and enterprise systems.
Working knowledge of AI technologies relevant to industrial maintenance, including large language models, retrieval over technical documentation, agentic automation, and predictive models.
