Junior SAP ABAP Consultant

📍 Amritsar 🏷️ ERP & Business Applications 💰 ₹50,000 / month
An SAP implementation and support team based near Ranjit Avenue in Amritsar is hiring a Junior SAP ABAP Consultant for a full-time, on-site role. The team supports enterprise software rollouts for clients in manufacturing and retail, and this opening is aimed squarely at candidates just starting out as SAP ABAP consultants in Amritsar, rather than experienced hires.

What you'll be doing

Day-to-day, the work sits at the intersection of writing code and understanding why the business needs it written that way. You'll pick up tasks like these:
  • Write and debug custom ABAP reports, interfaces, conversions, and enhancements requested by client teams
  • Build and modify smart forms and simple screen layouts used by end users in the SAP system
  • Sit in on requirement-gathering sessions with business stakeholders and translate what they describe into technical specifications
  • Configure SAP modules so system behavior matches agreed business processes
  • Support end users after go-live, tracking down the cause of reported issues and fixing them
  • Document changes made to custom code so the next consultant on the account isn't starting from scratch
Most weeks include a mix of new development and older, already-live systems that need small fixes rather than big builds. Some tickets take twenty minutes; others sit open for a few days while a senior consultant reviews the approach with you. Clients in this book of business tend to be mid-sized manufacturers and retail chains that already run SAP but keep adding small custom pieces around the edges, so a lot of your early work will involve reading someone else's ABAP from three years ago before you're allowed to touch it. That's normal for the role, not a sign you're behind.

What you'll bring

A bachelor's degree in information technology, business administration, or a closely related field is expected for this entry-level opening. No prior professional experience is required, which is exactly why this listing shows up when people search for SAP ABAP consultant jobs for freshers in Amritsar; what matters more at this stage is a solid grasp of ABAP fundamentals from coursework, training, or personal projects, along with a willingness to be corrected often in your first few months.

Skills we're looking for

  • Working knowledge of SAP ABAP programming
  • Familiarity with core SAP modules and how they fit together in a typical implementation
  • Ability to read existing code and debug it methodically rather than guessing
  • Basic understanding of general business processes such as procurement, sales, or finance workflows

Good to have, not required

Exposure to SAP Fiori or SAPUI5 will help you contribute to newer projects sooner. The same goes for any familiarity with S/4HANA or CDS views, even if it was only covered briefly in a course. A recognized SAP certification is not a prerequisite here, but it will strengthen an application and may shorten the ramp-up period once you're hired. Candidates who've built even a small personal project involving ABAP unit testing or the SAP Fiori launchpad tend to stand out during the technical screening, mainly because it shows they went past the textbook version of the syllabus on their own.

Pay and benefits

The role pays ₹50,000 per month, which falls within a fairly typical range for SAP ABAP consultant salaries in Amritsar across similar junior openings. Along with the salary, the package includes:
  • Health insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Provident fund contributions
  • Relocation assistance for candidates moving in from outside Amritsar
  • Accommodation support while settling in near Ranjit Avenue
The relocation and accommodation pieces exist specifically because the role is on-site rather than remote, and quite a few past hires have come entirely from outside Punjab.

Working on-site in Amritsar

This is not a remote or hybrid arrangement. You'll be at the desk alongside the rest of the ERP & Business Applications team most working days, which has real upsides for a fresher: questions get answered in minutes instead of sitting in a chat queue, and code reviews happen shoulder to shoulder rather than over a screen share. Naukri Mitra lists this opening as part of a broader ERP hiring batch in the city, and candidates researching the broader market can expect requirements across similar postings to be fairly close to what's outlined here. The Ranjit Avenue location is well connected within Amritsar, and most current team members commute from within the city rather than relocating specifically for it, though outstation candidates are still welcome given the support on offer.

Growth from here

Junior consultants on this team typically move toward independent module ownership within their first year or two, taking on client-facing calls once they've developed sufficient pattern recognition across tickets. Progression isn't guaranteed on a fixed timeline and depends on how quickly a given project needs more hands on deck, but the path from junior to mid-level ABAP consultant is well trodden within ERP consulting generally, and this employer has historically promoted from within rather than hiring mid-level roles externally. A consultant who joined in a similar junior role two years ago is now leading small-scale interface projects on her own, which gives a rough sense of what a reasonable trajectory looks like here, though every account moves at its own pace depending on client demand. There's also room to specialize. Some consultants gravitate toward pure development work, spending most of their time deep in code and enhancement logic, while others end up closer to functional configuration once they've spent enough time understanding how a given client's business actually runs. Neither path is treated as the "better" one internally; the team simply needs both skill sets to keep projects moving.

How to apply

Interested candidates should apply with an updated resume highlighting any ABAP coursework, academic projects, or internship exposure to SAP systems, even if informal. Shortlisted applicants can expect an initial technical screening focused on basic ABAP syntax and debugging logic, followed by a conversation with the hiring manager about availability and relocation timelines, if applicable. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and candidates local to Amritsar or who can relocate to Ranjit Avenue will generally hear back faster, given the on-site start date.
