Today, with a team strength of 100, we’re positioned at the intersection of two rapidly expanding sectors.We are looking for…An experienced ERPNext Consultant to serve as our internal point of contact during a full-scale ERPNext implementation. You will sit between our business teams and our implementation partner — translating how CRA works into how ERPNext should be configured. This role covers the entire business: from CRM and project execution to procurement, fabrication, quality, dispatch, and commercial milestones.This is a hands-on, high-ownership role. You will be in rooms with our leadership, on calls with the partner, and on the floor with our teams — making sure the ERP we go live with actually reflects the way CRA operates.What You’ll DoOwn the implementation relationship
  • Be the single internal point of contact with our ERPNext implementation partner.
  • Participate in all planning sessions, sprint reviews, UAT cycles, and go-live activities.
  • Track deliverables, flag risks early, and escalate with clear documentation.
Map our processes into ERPNext
  • Work with department heads to capture requirements across CRM, Projects, Procurement, Manufacturing, QC, Dispatch, and Accounts.
  • Ensure the ERP supports our real-world complexity: evolving BOMs, pre-BOM procurement, phase-wise engineering releases, variation orders, milestone billing, and FAT-to-dispatch workflows.
  • Configure approval hierarchies (PM → Director → Finance) as they actually work at CRA.
Drive module UAT and sign-off
  • Own UAT across all modules — CRM, Projects, Buying, Stock, Manufacturing, Quality, and Accounts Receivable.
  • Validate management dashboards: sales pipeline, project schedule, procurement delays, cashflow forecast, and project profitability.
Manage data and documentation
  • Lead master data preparation: customers, vendors, items, BOMs, chart of accounts, and project templates.
  • Maintain all implementation artefacts: BRD, FSD, configuration notes, test cases, and training materials.
Drive adoption across teams
  • Coordinate end-user training with the partner across Sales, Projects, Procurement, Stores, Finance, and QA.
  • Develop SOPs for day-to-day ERP use aligned to CRA’s workflows.
  • Champion the change — help our teams move from current tools to ERPNext confidently.
Requirements
  • 2–7 years of hands-on ERPNext / Frappe implementation experience.
  • Strong working knowledge of ERPNext modules: Projects, CRM, Buying, Stock, Manufacturing, Quality, and Accounts.
  • Experience implementing ERPNext for engineering, EPC, capital equipment, or project-based manufacturing companies — strongly preferred.
  • Ability to understand and configure complex project-execution workflows, not just standard ERP flows.
  • Comfortable writing BRDs, test scripts, configuration documents, and SOPs.
  • Strong communicator — can engage both technically with the partner and clearly with non-technical stakeholders.
Good to Have
  • Exposure to project-level costing, milestone-based billing, and cashflow forecasting in ERPNext.
  • Familiarity with engineering workflows: BOM versioning, GA/P&ID approvals, FAT processes, QAP, and MDR documentation.
  • Experience with ERPNext customisation using the Frappe framework (Python / JS).
  • Understanding of variation order (VO) management and contract-based project execution.
Benefits
  • Direct access to leadership and real decision-making — no bureaucratic layers.
  • A complex, full-spectrum implementation: every major ERPNext module, live in a growing 100-person engineering company.
  • The chance to shape the ERP foundation for a company in an extraordinary growth phase.
  • Competitive contract compensation commensurate with experience.
