Are you looking for an opportunity to shape the future of SAP within a business that is transforming the way technology supports complex projects and operations?
We're looking for a Senior Technical Analyst to help drive business improvement, platform modernisation, and the effective use of SAP and related manufacturing systems.
Laing O'Rourke's IT function
Laing O'Rourke's IT function has renewed its strategy to support the company's ambition to transform the construction industry, making it more sustainable, more productive, and fit for the future.
Technology's critical role
Technology has a critical role to play in achieving this ambition. Our focus is on applying digital capability in ways that genuinely matter, shaping how complex projects are delivered, how decisions are made, and how innovation improves outcomes for people, communities, and the environment.
Our mission
Our mission is clear: to create a modern and resilient technology environment where trusted data informs every decision, AI enhances every process, and digital capability enables the organisation to operate with greater scale and productivity.
To deliver this, we are building a different kind of IT function, one that is trusted by the business, forward looking in its thinking, and deeply connected to operational outcomes. We are looking for individuals who are curious, thoughtful, and motivated by contributing to work that has real industry impact.
The Opportunity
As a Senior Technical Analyst, you'll play a key role in shaping how SAP supports business processes, service delivery, and operational performance across the organisation. Acting as the link between business stakeholders and technical delivery teams, you'll translate business needs into clear requirements and practical solutions that deliver measurable value.
Working closely with platform owners, engineers, delivery partners, and business stakeholders, you'll help ensure SAP capabilities are used effectively, processes are simplified, and technology investments remain aligned to long-term business objectives.
