Heavy-materials manufacturer scaling ERP and sustainability operations
Dyckerhoff is a 160-year-old building-materials producer undergoing a dual operational transformation: migrating to SAP S/4HANA while launching a CO2 footprint reduction initiative. The hiring mix—dominated by manufacturing and engineering roles, with heavy intern recruitment—reflects both legacy operations and early-stage digitization, suggesting a company bridging traditional cement/aggregate production with modern supply-chain and environmental compliance demands.
Dyckerhoff manufactures and distributes building materials (cement, aggregates, ready-mix concrete) across Europe, North America, and the Middle East. The company operates under the Buzzi Unicem umbrella and employs 5,001–10,000 people, primarily in manufacturing and production facilities. Current operational priorities include SAP S/4HANA implementation, complaint-management process refinement, kiln reliability optimization, and CO2 emissions reduction—all areas where production uptime and supply-chain visibility directly affect margins and regulatory standing.
Dyckerhoff runs SAP S/4HANA, SAP SD, and SAP R/3 alongside SAP SuccessFactors (HR) and SAP Concur (expenses). Full migration to S/4HANA is currently in implementation.
Priority projects include CO2 footprint reduction, SAP S/4HANA implementation, kiln alignment and availability improvement, complaint-management system redesign, and sales-process digitization across cross-functional teams.
