SAP Technical Engineering Expert | Analyst

About the role

Open to candidates across QLD, ACT, VIC, NSW, SA, a major federal government ERP program is moving its SAP landscape to S/4HANA. You will own the technical health of a large, complex SAP estate — installations, upgrades, patching, transports, refreshes, performance tuning, HA and DR — while contributing to the technical planning and execution of the S/4HANA transition itself. This is deep platform work, not application development.

• Transport management, client administration, system refreshes and environment management
• Monitoring, analysing and optimising system performance, availability and reliability
• Designing and implementing high availability, backup, recovery and disaster recovery solutions
• Technical planning and execution for migrating SAP workloads and databases to S/4HANA and HANA
• Technical assessments, readiness reviews and proof-of-concept work for modernisation initiatives
• Technical documentation, operating procedures and support models
• Mentoring internal staff and running knowledge transfer so the capability stays in-house

About you

• Demonstrated senior experience as an SAP Basis Administrator, SAP Basis Engineer or SAP Technical Engineering Expert in large, complex environments
• Current SAP certification in System Administration (Basis), HANA, S/4HANA or an equivalent SAP technology discipline
• Hands-on S/4HANA experience across implementation, upgrade, migration or technical conversion
• Proven database migration work into HANA, including planning, conversion, testing and cutover
• Linux and enterprise infrastructure experience underpinning SAP
• The ability to give expert technical advice and work alongside architects, engineers, project teams and vendors
• Currently hold an active NV1 (Negative Vetting Level 1) clearance and be able to maintain it for the duration of the contract
