Vesu, Surat has an opening for a Senior PeopleSoft Consultant, full-time and on-site, paying up to ₹1,43,000 a month. The role sits within ERP and business applications work, specifically implementations and support built around PeopleSoft rather than general enterprise software consulting.
Background needed
A bachelor's degree is expected, and, given the mix of technical and business work involved, one in information technology or business administration is equally well suited. A vendor-specific PeopleSoft certification, whether functional or technical, is also what the employer wants to see. In terms of experience, the role calls for 72 months of hands-on implementation work with PeopleSoft specifically, which rules out candidates whose enterprise software background is mostly on a different platform.
What the work involves
- Implementing and configuring PeopleSoft modules according to what each client actually needs, not just the default setup
- Mapping a client's existing business processes onto the system, which sometimes means flagging where a process needs to change rather than the software
- Troubleshooting issues that come up during a rollout, often under a deadline the client has already committed to internally
- Providing support after go-live, since the weeks right after launch are usually when the real edge cases surface
A payroll close that ran fine in testing can still hit a snag once real employee data and every exception case are involved, and that kind of gap between the test environment and production is exactly where a senior consultant earns their keep.
Skills
- PeopleSoft configuration, comfortable working across setup tables and module-specific settings
- Business process knowledge, translating what a client actually does into how the system should be configured
- SQL, for querying data directly when the application layer doesn't give a clear enough answer
Familiarity with PeopleTools helps when a configuration issue requires a technical fix rather than a functional workaround, and prior work, specifically in HCM or FSCM modules, is a meaningful plus depending on which side of PeopleSoft a given engagement leans. Some exposure to structured project methodologies used in rollouts also makes coordinating with client teams noticeably smoother.
How the work runs
This role is on-site in Vesu, working directly with client teams rather than remotely during implementations. Naukri Mitra's client here typically runs several PeopleSoft engagements in parallel, so a senior consultant needs to context-switch between projects at different stages, from early requirements gathering to post-launch support on something that went live months ago.
Benefits
- Health insurance
- Paid time off
- Performance-linked bonuses
- Relocation assistance and accommodation support for candidates relocating to Surat
Pay and location
Compensation for this role reaches ₹1,43,000 per month, based in Vesu, Surat. Among PeopleSoft consultant salaries in Surat, this stands well above the general market, reflecting the certification requirement and the depth of hands-on implementation experience expected.
Applying
Candidates should apply with details on the specific PeopleSoft modules they've implemented and the scale of the client organizations involved, along with confirmation of any relevant certification held. That level of specificity matters more here than a general summary of ERP experience.
