This is an opportunity to work in an Oracle Cloud-focused consulting environment, where Primavera is considered part of the broader enterprise solution rather than a standalone scheduling application.

We are looking for someone who can help customers connect the front end of project execution—schedules, milestones, resources, and progress—with the back end of project delivery, including procurement, materials, project costs, forecasting, and financial reporting.

The ideal candidate understands both the Primavera solution and the business processes that surround it, and can help customers determine where standard Oracle functionality, integration, and targeted extensions provide the best overall solution.

Success in This Role

Success will be measured by the ability to:

• Deliver reliable Primavera solutions aligned with customer project management processes.
• Define practical integration approaches between Primavera and Oracle Cloud.
• Improve visibility into project schedules, costs, commitments, and forecasts.
• Reduce manual handoffs between scheduling, procurement, project controls, and finance.
• Contribute to successful, integrated Oracle Cloud implementations
