🏢 About EDF Renewables
EDF Renewables is a global leader in renewable energy, driving the transition to a net-zero future through wind, solar, and sustainable onsite solutions. Working here means contributing to impactful climate action while being part of a forward-thinking, innovative team. The company's commitment to operational excellence and digital transformation makes it an exciting place for data professionals.
About This Role
This role is the backbone of supply chain data integrity, ensuring that material master data in SAP is accurate and compliant, directly impacting operational readiness and cost efficiency. As the company transitions to SAP S/4HANA, you will lead data migration and testing, making this a high-impact position that combines technical expertise with strategic planning. Your work will enable the supply chain team to make data-driven decisions and maintain business continuity.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day starts with monitoring SAP data quality dashboards and addressing any master data issues flagged by the supply chain team. You might collaborate with procurement and planning on MRP parameter adjustments, then lead a meeting to review data migration progress for the S/4HANA transition. Afternoons could involve analyzing data extraction reports in Excel to identify trends, followed by documenting governance procedures or training users on data entry standards.
