Job Summary

Aecon is seeking an experienced SAP ECC Payroll & Time Consultant with strong hands-on functional expertise in SAP Human Capital Management (HCM), particularly Payroll and Time Management.

Experience supporting both Canadian and U.S. payroll environments is highly preferred. Candidates should have a strong SAP ECC background, as the current priority is maintaining and enhancing existing ECC payroll solutions, with less emphasis on SAP SuccessFactors.

The consultant must be comfortable working independently with business users, analyzing requirements, troubleshooting issues, and delivering solutions with minimal guidance from the existing functional team. As Aecon transitions toward SAP S/4HANA, the consultant will also support related solution considerations and help ensure compatibility throughout the transition.

- Experience with functional testing, regression testing, defect resolution, and business validation.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

Preferred Qualifications

- The consultant must be available to start as soon as possible.
- Candidates must be comfortable working independently and delivering results with minimal supervision.

Ideal Candidate Profile The ideal candidate is a hands-on SAP ECC Payroll & Time specialist who can take ownership of functional requirements, work directly with business users, resolve complex payroll issues, and coordinate effectively with technical developers.
