CRH's Americas Materials business is the leading provider of building materials in North America. The aggregates, asphalt, ready mixed concrete, paving and construction services we deliver are critical to building our world. Our operations span 45 U.S. states and two Canadian provinces with over 30,000 employees across 1,700 operating locations.
Position Overview
We are seeking an experienced SAP Development Manager to lead the SAP development team across our SAP S/4HANA and Business Technology Platform (BTP) landscape. This role owns the technical strategy, standards, and delivery quality for ABAP and Fiori/UI5 development, BTP development areas including CPI and Build Work Zone, and Business Data Cloud (BDC) areas including Datasphere and SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC). The role requires a strong working understanding of how these platforms integrate with the broader enterprise landscape via Mulesoft; hands-on Mulesoft development is owned by a separate integration team, but this manager will coordinate closely with them to ensure SAP-side interfaces and integration points are well designed and delivered. The ideal candidate combines deep SAP development expertise with proven people-management experience, and is comfortable acting as the primary point of contact between CRH, SI/AMS partners, and internal teams for all development-related matters.
