Job description

About The Role

Join us as a Software Engineer and play a key role in developing and improving the SAP system that supports Arco’s business.

We run SAP ECC 6, a mature, well-established system that underpins many of our business operations. Alongside ABAP development, you’ll gain hands‑on experience in SAP configuration, functional processes and some Basis activities, with specialist support from third‑party partners for much of the Basis work. Over time, you’ll become a go‑to person for understanding how our SAP landscape works and how it supports the wider business.

This role is about getting the most from our existing SAP ECC system, rather than migrating to S/4HANA or adopting the latest SAP cloud technologies. If you have ABAP development experience and want to broaden your functional and configuration skills, you’ll have the opportunity to take ownership, build expertise across the SAP landscape and learn alongside a supportive team. You don’t need to be a functional expert already – just curious, adaptable and keen to develop.

This is a full‑time, permanent opportunity, available on a fully remote or hybrid basis. If you prefer hybrid working, our head office is in Hull.

• Developing, enhancing and maintaining ABAP solutions (reports, interfaces, enhancements and forms) to meet business requirements
• Working with our business analysts and business users to understand their processes and requirements, and turning them into configuration or development changes
• Making configuration changes in ECC 6 across a range of modules to support the needs of the business.
• Building up, and sharing, an understanding of how our business processes fit together and how our systems support this.
• Investigating and resolving second-line support issues raised through the IT service desk
• Working with our third‑party support and Basis partners and filling in gaps in Basis and functional needs.
• Working within a small but supportive technical change team using Agile ways of working
• Writing and maintaining unit tests, and supporting system integration and user acceptance testing with the business
• Owning your changes from estimate through to release, and giving honest estimates with a stated degree of confidence
