About the Role
Our client is seeking an experienced Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) R12.1.3 Discrete Manufacturing functional consultant to serve as the on-the-ground manufacturing solution lead for ongoing ERP transformation - migrating off its legacy onto Oracle EBS R12.1.3 across its Cleaveland Ohio Manufacturing with machine shop operations, and the broader Regal Rexnord (RRX) manufacturing network.
This is a highly visible, business-facing role that blends deep functional Oracle EBS discrete manufacturing expertise - Work in Process, Bills of Material, Engineering, Inventory, and Quality - with hands-on RICE (Reports, Interfaces, Conversions, Extensions) development. The successful candidate will work daily, onsite, with plant leadership, production, quality, and engineering teams to translate real shop-floor operations - machine-shop routings, kitting, labor and scrap reporting - into a working Oracle EBS solution, while ensuring the design aligns to the manufacturing template Regal Rexnord already runs across its other business units.

Key Responsibilities:

Own the manufacturing functional design. Serve as the primary onsite Oracle EBS R12.1.3 Discrete Manufacturing functional lead for the implementation, covering Work in Process, Bills of Material/Engineering, Inventory, and shop-floor execution.
Face the business directly. Lead requirements gathering, fit-gap analysis, and solution design workshops with production supervisors, quality, engineering, planning, and plant leadership - this role requires the presence and credibility to run a room of shop-floor and plant stakeholders, not just document their input.
Translate the shop floor into the system. Convert machine-shop operations, labor/scrap reporting, outside processing - into working Oracle EBS discrete manufacturing configuration.
Fit the global RRX template. Partner with the broader Regal Rexnord IT/ERP organization to align the solution design to RRX's existing global Oracle EBS manufacturing footprint and standards, minimizing unnecessary customization and easing long-term support.
Drive RICE development. Author and review RICE (Reports, Interfaces, Conversions, Extensions) functional specifications, and build or directly support technical development of reports, interfaces, and data conversions for manufacturing objects - items, BOMs, routings, work orders, on-hand balances.
Work cross-functionally. Coordinate with Finance, Planning/Scheduling, Purchasing, Quality, Configurator and Sysadmins to ensure the manufacturing solution integrates cleanly across the broader EBS instance.
Train the users. Plan and deliver end-user training and documentation for shop-floor and manufacturing-engineering users transitioning from Legacy to Oracle EBS.
Support the full delivery cycle. Support Conference Room Pilots (CRPs), integration testing, cutover planning, and hypercare/go-live support for the manufacturing work streams.
Travel as needed. Travel within the U.S. to other Regal Rexnord sites (may not be required or very limited travel)

Required Qualifications:

8-10+ years of Oracle E-Business Suite functional experience, with deep, hands-on expertise in Discrete Manufacturing: Work in Process (WIP), Bills of Material (BOM), Engineering, and Inventory. Oracle EBS R12.1.3 experience strongly preferred.
Proven experience of at least 2-3 full-lifecycle Oracle EBS implementation or ERP migration in a discrete manufacturing environment; experience converting from a legacy ERP platform is a strong plus.
Hardcore, hands-on manufacturing and shop-floor operations experience - comfortable on the floor, fluent in routings and work centers, and able to design a system around how production actually runs, not just how it's documented.
Demonstrated RICE development experience - able to write functional specs and work directly with technical developers, or personally build and debug reports, interfaces, conversions, and extensions.
Strong cross-functional collaboration skills across Production, Quality, Planning, Finance, Engineering, and IT.
Very good verbal and written communication skills - able to run workshops, train end users, and communicate clearly with both shop-floor personnel and executive stakeholders.
Willingness and ability to work 100% onsite in Chambersburg, PA, five days a week, and to travel domestically within the U.S. as needed.

Preferred Qualifications:

Prior implementation experience with machine-shop manufacturing environments.
Experience implementing or supporting Oracle EBS within a multi-plant, multi-country manufacturing organization.
Familiarity with Regal Rexnord's (or a comparable industrial manufacturer's) global ERP template or manufacturing standards.
Experience migrating from a legacy ERP platform to Oracle EBS.

Because the project centers on Nook's operations and requires close collaboration with site leadership and business users, preference will be given to candidates based in, or within reasonable commuting distance of, Cleveland, Ohio. The role will require regular on-site engagement in Cleveland and travel to other project locations as needed for workshops, testing, cutover, go-live, and hypercare.
