How to Apply for Manufacturing/Engineering ERP Business Analyst

at Pioneer Transformers

🏢 About Pioneer Transformers

Pioneer Transformers specializes in custom liquid-filled transformers designed for energy-efficient and sustainable electrical solutions, positioning them at the forefront of green technology in the power industry. Their focus on custom engineering solutions rather than mass production creates a dynamic environment where technical expertise directly impacts client-specific challenges. Working here offers the opportunity to contribute to sustainable energy infrastructure while being part of a specialized engineering-focused organization.

About This Role

This Manufacturing/Engineering ERP Business Analyst serves as the critical bridge between IT and Engineering teams, specifically focusing on implementing and optimizing Infor LN CloudSuite to support custom transformer manufacturing processes. The role directly impacts operational efficiency by translating engineering requirements into ERP configurations that streamline production of complex, custom-designed products. Success in this position means enabling better data-driven decisions through SQL analysis and ERP enhancements that support Pioneer's specialized manufacturing workflow.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves collaborating with engineering teams to understand their workflow challenges for custom transformer designs, then translating those needs into Infor LN CloudSuite configurations or enhancements. You'll spend time extracting manufacturing data via SQL queries to analyze production efficiency, followed by meetings where you present findings and proposed ERP solutions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. The role balances hands-on system configuration with strategic discussions about how ERP improvements can support Pioneer's specialized engineering processes.
