Description
Kforce has a client that is seeking a MES SAP Project Manager in Orlando, FL.
Summary:
We are seeking an experienced SAP MES Project Manager to lead and coordinate Manufacturing Execution System (MES) initiatives across the organization. This individual will serve as the primary point of contact for MES-related activities, driving upgrades, testing efforts, user engagement, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement initiatives.
The environment consists of an MES platform tightly integrated with SAP ERP, including production routings and labor-tracking processes. Following the original MES go-live, project leadership responsibilities became fragmented, creating a need for a dedicated resource to provide structure, accountability, and oversight. This individual will lead MES governance meetings, coordinate cross-functional stakeholders, delegate testing activities, support end users, and play a critical role in the organization's transition from SAP ECC/S1 to SAP S/4HANA.
Key Responsibilities:
- Serve as the primary Project Manager and functional lead for MES-related initiatives
- Lead recurring MES meetings with business and technical stakeholders, ensuring alignment, accountability, and timely issue resolution
- Develop project plans, coordinate resources, track milestones, and communicate project status to leadership
- Manage MES maintenance activities, system upgrades, enhancements, and ongoing support initiatives
- Coordinate and oversee User Acceptance Testing (UAT), system validation, and release readiness activities
- Delegate testing responsibilities to appropriate business users and ensure completion of testing deliverables
- Partner with manufacturing, planning, operations, and IT teams to improve MES processes and user adoption
Requirements:
- 5+ years of Project Management experience supporting MES, manufacturing systems, or SAP/ERP initiatives
- Experience leading cross-functional teams within a manufacturing environment
- Strong understanding of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and their integration with ERP platforms
- Experience managing system upgrades, testing cycles, maintenance activities, and production support efforts
- Hands-on experience coordinating User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and business validation activities
- Proven ability to facilitate meetings, manage priorities, and drive projects to completion
- Experience troubleshooting system and process-related issues in a manufacturing environment
The pay range is the lowest to highest compensation we reasonably in good faith believe we would pay at posting for this role. We may ultimately pay more or less than this range. Employee pay is based on factors like relevant education, qualifications, certifications, experience, skills, seniority, location, performance, union contract and business needs. This range may be modified in the future.
We offer comprehensive benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance, HSA, FSA, 401(k), and life, disability & ADD insurance to eligible employees. Salaried personnel receive paid time off. Hourly employees are not eligible for paid time off unless required by law. Hourly employees on a Service Contract Act project are eligible for paid sick leave.
Note: Pay is not considered compensation until it is earned, vested and determinable. The amount and availability of any compensation remains in Kforce's sole discretion unless and until paid and may be modified in its discretion consistent with the law.
This job is not eligible for bonuses, incentives or commissions.
