SAP Technology Lead - Windsor - Centrica plc

Description

Join us, be part of more.

We're so much more than an energy company. We're a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We're energisers. One team of 21,000 colleagues that's energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesn't rely on fossil fuels, whilst living our powerful commitment to igniting positive change in our communities. Here, you can find more purpose, more passion, and more potential. That's why working here is #MoreThanACareer. We do energy differently - we do it all. We make it, store it, move it, sell it, and mend it.

An opportunity to play your part – As Centrica's SAP Technology Lead for Platform & Integrations, you'll take charge of the backbone that keeps the entire Supply Chain platform running securely, smoothly and at scale. From defining integration patterns and platform services to shaping identity and authorisation standards, observability and release governance, you'll be the architect behind how everything connects and operates. This role sits at the heart of ensuring a resilient, secure and future‑ready SAP landscape—while empowering programme squads to deliver consistently, confidently and at pace. If you're excited by the challenge of building the platform foundations that make transformation possible, this is where you'll thrive.

Location: UK-based hybrid role, Occasional travel to site.

The Day to Day:

• This role is essential to maintaining momentum across the Supply Chain Transformation (SCT) programme, where rapid onboarding of SAP Tech Leads is critical to delivering at pace and avoiding programme delays.
• With Ana Woodrow now in place as Head of Engineering and Unipart confirmed as our technology partner, you will help establish the platform leadership needed to underpin Centrica's next‑generation supply chain architecture.
• You will own the SAP platform services and integration foundations—defining integration patterns, platform standards, identity and authorisation models, observability practices and release/transport governance across the supply chain landscape.
• You will help the programme meet its ambitious delivery timelines by providing strong early leadership to shape a scalable, secure and resilient platform from the outset.
• You will build internal platform and integration capability from day one, supporting the transition from partner‑led delivery to long‑term internal ownership and continual improvement.
• You will collaborate closely with operational SMEs, technical squads from Unipart and The Config Team (TCT), and cross‑functional teams to ensure fast decision‑making and consistent, high‑quality technical delivery.
• You will ensure seamless interoperability between the Supply Chain platform and all connected systems—including Corporate S/4HANA (Procurement and Finance) and the Field Platform—while providing clear technical ownership that reduces partner dependency and prevents rework later in the programme.

What we need from you:

• Hands‑on expertise with SAP BTP and Integration Suite (CPI), along with solid knowledge of SAP Security/Authorisations and platform tools such as SAP Cloud ALM, Solution Manager or ChaRM.
• Proven ability to design and deliver integration patterns, platform standards and technical guardrails that support stable, scalable and secure SAP landscapes.
• Strong understanding of observability, logging, monitoring and performance tuning, ensuring the platform is not just running—it's running smart.
• Experience working in Agile engineering squads with exposure to SAP‑focused CI/CD enablement and modern delivery practices.
• Demonstrated capability in governing releases and transports across complex SAP environments, keeping change safe, structured and well‑controlled.
