Lead SAP PP Consultant, Nehru Place, Delhi
This is a full-time, on-site role based in Nehru Place, Delhi, with a salary of up to ₹1,84,000 per month. The team is looking for someone who has already run SAP Production Planning implementations end-to-end and is ready to lead the next one without much hand-holding.
You'll sit at the center of how manufacturing operations get translated into SAP. That means spending real time with plant managers and production supervisors to understand how material flows, how shifts are scheduled, and where the current process breaks down before you touch any configuration. Once the design is agreed, you configure and customize the PP module to match, then carry that work through cutover. Rollouts rarely go perfectly, so a meaningful part of the job is triaging issues as they surface during go-live and keeping stakeholders informed while you fix them. After launch, support doesn't stop; you're expected to stay close to the system for a stretch afterward, resolving tickets and tuning configuration as real production data starts flowing through it.
Most weeks split between three modes: workshop time with the business, heads-down configuration work, and support tickets from whichever project just went live. Early in an engagement, you'll spend more hours in meetings than in the system itself, sketching out how a client's shop floor actually runs before any of it becomes a transaction code. As a project moves toward cutover, that ratio flips, and the last two weeks before go-live tend to be long ones. This is a lead position, so you'll also be expected to review the configuration work of junior consultants on the account and flag gaps before a client ever sees them, rather than doing every task solo.
- Lead requirement-gathering sessions with production and operations teams to map current-state processes
- Configure and customize the SAP PP module to reflect agreed business process designs
- Own issue resolution during rollout, including root-cause analysis under time pressure
- Provide structured post-launch support, including monitoring, ticket resolution, and configuration tuning
- Document configuration decisions and process changes for the client's internal reference
None of this happens in isolation from the rest of the SAP landscape. Production planning data feeds into materials management, quality checks, and often finance reporting, so a consultant who understands only PP in a vacuum tends to hit walls fast. That cross-module fluency is one of the things that separates a lead-level hire from someone still building toward it.
- SAP PP configuration, including master data, MRP setup, and production order processing
- Working knowledge of production planning processes across discrete or process manufacturing
- General SAP configuration experience beyond a single module
It helps if you've also worked with SAP MM or QM integration points, have touched an S/4HANA migration project at any stage, or can read enough ABAP to debug a user exit without waiting on a developer. None of these are dealbreakers on their own, but candidates who bring even one of them tend to ramp faster on a lead assignment.
On the qualifications side, the role calls for a bachelor's degree, typically in information technology, business administration, or a closely related field. Employers hiring at this level generally also want a vendor-specific certification tied to the SAP functional or technical track, paired with hands-on implementation history rather than classroom exposure alone. A certification without live project experience won't carry much weight here, and the reverse is true as well; the two are expected together, not as substitutes. As for tenure, the posting specifies 120 months of hands-on SAP experience, which places this squarely at a senior, lead-track level rather than an entry or mid-level assignment. Candidates with ten-plus years in production planning consulting, including a stretch in a client-facing lead role, will find the scope of this role familiar.
What actually separates this seat from a mid-level one is accountability, not a task list. A mid-level consultant configures what they're told to configure; a lead consultant is the one a client calls when a go-live decision must be made within the next hour, with no time to escalate further up the chain.
Openings tracked through platforms like Naukri Mitra show steady demand for SAP talent across Delhi's consulting firms, and mandates structured this way, with ownership resting on a single consultant rather than a larger bench, tend to carry compensation toward the higher end for the category.
Compensation runs up to ₹1,84,000 per month, and the package around it is built for someone settling into a stable, senior consulting seat rather than bouncing between short contracts.
- Health insurance coverage
- Paid time off
- Performance-linked bonuses
- On-site cafeteria access
- Cab or commute support, given the Nehru Place location
Delhi has a dense cluster of SAP consulting work right now, and this role sits comfortably among the better-paying options for SAP PP consultant jobs in Delhi, particularly for anyone weighing offers near Nehru Place specifically. Professionals comparing SAP PP consultant salary figures in Delhi per month, especially at the ten-year mark, should find this number consistent with what the market is currently paying for lead-track roles rather than an outlier in either direction.
Nehru Place itself is one of the older commercial hubs in south Delhi, with a reasonably dense concentration of IT and consulting firms, which is part of why cab support matters enough to call out explicitly rather than assume. Commute time from most parts of the city runs somewhere in the 30- to 60-minute range, depending on where you're coming from, and the office does not currently offer a hybrid arrangement, so this should be treated as a genuinely on-site commitment rather than a flexible one dressed up as full-time.
The interview process for this kind of hire is usually more conversational than a written test. Expect one round focused on your configuration depth in PP specifically, and a second round in which a hiring manager or delivery lead walks you through a past rollout to see how you handled the messy parts, not just the parts that went to plan. Bring specifics: which client, what module version, what actually broke during go-live, and how it got fixed.
Plan around a daily commute to the Nehru Place office rather than remote flexibility, since the workplace type here is fully on-site. Apply with an updated resume that reflects your implementation history and certifications, and be ready to walk through at least one full project lifecycle in the first conversation. Candidates currently based outside Delhi are welcome to apply, but should account for relocation timelines before accepting an offer, since the start date for this seat is not flexible.
