Oracle Cloud PPM (7-10 Yrs)

We are seeking a pure-play Oracle PPM Functional Consultant with strong construction/EPC industry domain knowledge to lead solutioning and delivery of Oracle Fusion Cloud PPM engagements. This is a functional (non-technical) role — the ideal candidate is someone who can sit directly with business stakeholders (project controllers, cost engineers, project managers, finance), translate their construction project lifecycle needs into Oracle solutions, and drive design decisions independently with minimal technical/developer hand-holding.

Key Responsibilities
Business Requirement Gathering & Solutioning

Lead workshops with construction industry stakeholders (project controls, project accounting, procurement, PMO) to elicit business requirements
Translate business processes specific to construction — job costing, WIP, retention billing, subcontractor cost tracking, change orders, capital project accounting — into Oracle PPM functional designs
Independently drive fit-gap analysis, identifying where standard Oracle functionality meets requirements vs. where workarounds/extensions are needed
Own solution architecture at the functional level: propose to-be process flows, configuration approach, and integration touchpoints
Present solution options to client stakeholders/steering committees with clear trade-offs (standard functionality vs. customization, effort vs. value)
Author Business Requirement Documents (BRDs), Functional Design Documents (FDDs), and Solution Design Documents (SDDs)
Oracle PPM Functional Configuration

Configure Project Foundation: project types, classifications, templates, resource breakdown structures, calendars
Configure Project Costing tailored to construction: cost collection from subcontractors/vendors, transaction types, burdening/overhead application, cross-charge for shared equipment/labor pools
Configure Project Billing: progress billing, milestone billing, retention billing/retainage, T&M and unit-price contract billing common in construction
Configure Project Management module: WBS setup, task/schedule integration, resource staffing and utilization for field/site resources
Configure capital project accounting: CIP (construction-in-progress) tracking, asset capitalization triggers, project-to-asset transfer processes
Support budgeting/forecasting workflows aligned to construction project stage-gates (bid, award, execution, closeout)
Construction Industry-Specific Domain Expertise

Project Management cycle
Sub Contract Management
Delivery Leadership

Act as the functional SME/lead on Oracle PPM workstreams within larger ERP or EPC digital transformation programs
Drive design decisions and unblock ambiguity without constant escalation — comfortable owning decisions in fast-paced client environments
Prepare and lead CRP (Conference Room Pilot) sessions, SIT/UAT test scripts, and cutover planning
Coordinate (not necessarily build) with technical teams for integrations (OIC), reports (OTBI/BIP), and data conversion (FBDI/HDL) — translating functional needs into clear technical specs
Provide steady-state/hypercare support post go-live, including quarterly release impact assessments
Stakeholder Management

Build trusted advisor relationships with client project controls and finance leadership
Facilitate governance/steering committee discussions on scope, design decisions, and risk
Mentor junior functional consultants on Oracle PPM configuration and construction domain nuances
Required Skills & Experience
10+ years total experience in Oracle Applications, with 5+ years specifically on Oracle PPM (Fusion Cloud PPM; EBS PPM background acceptable if actively working in Cloud)
Prior experience delivering Oracle PPM in construction, EPC, infrastructure, or capital-intensive industries is mandatory — this is a differentiator, not a nice-to-have
Demonstrated experience independently gathering requirements and driving solution design directly with business users (not just executing a pre-defined design)
Strong functional configuration experience across: Project Costing, Project Billing, Project Management, and ideally Project Financial Planning
Working knowledge of construction-specific financial concepts: job costing, advance, advance recovery,  retention/retainage billing, change order management, WIP schedules, POC revenue recognition
Experience with capital project accounting and CIP-to-asset capitalization processes
Exposure to schedule-to-cost integration concepts
Comfortable authoring BRDs/FDDs and presenting solution options to senior client stakeholders
Minimum 2–3 full lifecycle Oracle Fusion Cloud PPM implementations, at least one in a construction/EPC client environment
Excellent verbal and written communication; able to run workshops and steer client conversations confidently
