Job Description

Summary:

We are seeking a senior Solution Consultant specializing in PLM to bridge complex product development and engineering requirements with scalable digital execution. In this role, you will act as a technical architect and strategic advisor for large-scale PLM transformations centered on CATIA and ENOVIA across global, multi-site engineering organizations. You will challenge legacy product lifecycle processes, re-engineer workflows, and ensure PLM modernization delivers measurable business outcomes across engineering, manufacturing, quality, and supply chain.

General Information:

• Role type: Solution Consultant, PLM (CATIA and ENOVIA)
• Seniority: Senior, typically 5+ years PLM implementation and consulting experience
• Work model: Remote with potential on-site visits to client facilities as milestones require
• Time zone: Flexible, with expected overlap based on project needs
• Language: Professional English required

Tasks and deliverables:

• Requirements Engineering and Process Design
• Run deep-dive discovery across engineering and product teams to audit current PLM processes (design authoring, change control, configuration, BOM management, release workflows).
• Identify bottlenecks, risks, compliance needs, and integration gaps.
• Produce clear requirement specifications, user stories, process maps, and traceability from business goals to system design.
• Solution Architecture and PLM Blueprinting
• Define the global PLM architecture and methodology for CATIA and ENOVIA implementations, upgrades, migrations, or consolidations.
• Design data models, part numbering strategies, product structures, variants and options, change and configuration management, and access control models.
• Produce solution blueprints, interface specifications, environment and deployment strategy, and non-functional requirements (performance, security, validation).
• Stakeholder Management and Program Alignment
• Serve as the primary liaison between engineering leadership, program management, and technical teams (PLM admins, developers, CAD leads, integration teams).
• Facilitate decision-making, drive alignment on scope and standards, and lead high-velocity resolution of risks and issues.
• Proof of Concept Leadership
• Lead technical PoCs to validate feasibility for complex use cases such as multi-CAD collaboration, complex assemblies, advanced change workflows, and enterprise BOM governance.
• Present findings to executives and engineering stakeholders with clear recommendations and tradeoffs.
• Delivery Enablement and Operational Excellence
• Support go-live readiness including training approaches, cutover planning, hypercare, and adoption metrics.
• Provide expert guidance on best practices for end users and administrators, ensuring a smooth transition to daily operations.
• Knowledge Capitalization and Standardization
• Standardize project deliverables into reusable accelerators such as process templates, data migration playbooks, governance models, and validation checklists.
• Contribute to a best-practice library to speed up future global rollouts.

Required Experience:

• PLM Expertise
• 5+ years of hands-on experience implementing, configuring, or leading delivery for enterprise PLM solutions, with strong focus on ENOVIA and CATIA.
• Experience with PLM core domains including product structure, EBOM and MBOM alignment concepts, change management, configuration management, document management, and release governance.
• Industry Domain Knowledge
• Proven track record in complex or regulated engineering environments such as Automotive, Aerospace, Industrial Equipment, High-Tech, or Life Sciences.
• Consulting Mindset
• Demonstrated ability to challenge existing processes, identify inefficiencies, and propose optimized, system-driven workflows rather than simply replicating legacy behaviors.
• Integration and Data Experience
• Experience designing or coordinating integrations between PLM and adjacent systems such as ERP, MES, QMS, ALM, PDM vaulting, and reporting platforms.
• Exposure to data migration strategy, data quality remediation, and master data governance within PLM programs.
• Project Leadership and Communication
• Strong ability to manage cross-functional stakeholders and multiple workstreams in parallel.
• Excellent communication skills, able to translate engineering needs into technical architecture and actionable delivery plans.
• Mobility
• Willingness to travel on-site for discovery, workshops, and critical deployment milestones when required.

Engagement highlights:

• Strategic impact: Lead enterprise PLM transformations that directly influence engineering velocity, product quality, compliance, and time-to-market.
• Consultative autonomy: Your architectural decisions shape the global CATIA and ENOVIA deployment approach and long-term governance.
• Complex problem space: Work on challenging programs spanning multi-site engineering organizations, variants and options, and integrated digital thread initiatives.
• Modern engineering enablement: Exposure to digital continuity and Industry 4.0 adjacent initiatives where PLM is the system of record for product definition.
