About the Role

Parsons Corporation is seeking an SAP EAMS Director to join our team in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This full-time role functions as a senior technology and business process leader, responsible for designing, integrating, and operating the digital backbone of the city’s infrastructure. The Director ensures that every physical asset, from district cooling valves to park furniture, is digitally registered, tracked, and governed within a centralized SAP platform.

Operating within the City Asset Management Integration team, this position bridges large-scale real estate operations with enterprise IT. The role enables predictive maintenance, lifecycle planning, and data-driven smart city governance for urban assets.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and maintain the master data model for millions of assets, including naming conventions, asset hierarchies, location structures, and classification codes.
• Establish standards for equipment, functional locations, bills of materials (BoMs), and asset attributes to ensure consistency and interoperability across city systems.
• Govern data quality, data ownership, and change management processes for asset master data.
• Ensure the seamless vesting of new infrastructure's entire digital footprint into SAP upon handover from construction contractors.
• Oversee the ingestion of manuals, warranty information, serial numbers, OEM data, maintenance strategies, and spare-parts lists into the asset repository.
• Develop structured vesting protocols and checklists to validate completeness and accuracy of digital asset data at handover.
• Partner with Finance teams to ensure accurate tracking of maintenance costs, energy consumption, contractor labor hours, and materials usage.
• Configure cost objects, work order types, and settlement rules to automate cost recovery and cross-charges based on real-time SAP data.
• Work closely with City Operations Directors to translate physical maintenance strategies into standardized digital processes.
• Configure automated work orders, preventive maintenance plans, resource planning, and spare-parts inventory tracking.
• Provide dashboards and reporting tools to give City Operations teams visibility into asset health, backlog, and vendor performance.

System Integration and Lifecycle Management

• Coordinate with IT and Digital teams to integrate SAP EAMS with various platforms, Building Management Systems (BMS), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), and other smart city systems.
• Ensure seamless data flows between SAP and ERP, GIS, customer service, and finance modules to enable end-to-end asset lifecycle visibility.
• Configure SAP to transition from reactive maintenance to preventive and predictive regimes, implementing condition-based and risk-based maintenance plans.
• Define automated triggers, notifications, and escalation paths for critical asset conditions and failures.
• Analyze asset performance, failure patterns, and cost trends within SAP to advise executive leadership on capital expenditure (CAPEX) planning.
• Identify deteriorating, underperforming, or cost-inefficient assets and recommend refurbishment, replacement, or technology upgrades.
• Develop BI dashboards and analytics using SAP data to monitor asset reliability, maintenance productivity, and risk exposure.
• Provide periodic reports to senior leadership and governance committees on asset health, SLA compliance, and budget performance.

Vendor and Performance Governance

• Integrate third-party Facilities Management (FM) and Operations & Maintenance (O&M) providers into the SAP EAMS work management ecosystem.
• Ensure all vendor activities, including work orders, time booking, materials usage, and inspection reports, are captured within SAP.
• Define digital onboarding protocols and training for external partners to comply with SAP-based processes.
• Utilize SAP EAMS to track vendor response times, job completion rates, first-time fix rates, and adherence to Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
• Configure KPIs and automatic performance reports that support commercial audits and contract renewals.
• Collaborate with Procurement and Commercial teams to enforce performance-based contracts and penalties grounded in SAP data.
• Ensure asset management processes within SAP align with internal governance, audit requirements, and relevant standards.
• Lead periodic system and process audits to verify data integrity, process compliance, and performance against agreed benchmarks.
