Global infrastructure manufacturer with heavy ERP and project-delivery operations
Elsewedy Electric is a 19,000+ employee infrastructure manufacturer operating 34 production facilities across Africa and Asia, exporting to 110+ countries. The tech stack reveals an organization locked into Oracle ERP with Primavera P6 project management — classic heavy industrial/construction operations — while facing acute pain around project delays, cost forecasting, and ERP stability. Hiring is engineering-led (102 of 176 active roles), concentrated in Egypt and the Gulf, and focused on mechanical design and construction execution rather than digital transformation.
Notable leadership hires: QS Section Head, Procurement Head
Elsewedy Electric manufactures and exports cables, electrical products, transformers, and renewable energy solutions (wind, solar) from facilities spanning Egypt, Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Tanzania. The company serves utilities, infrastructure contractors, and industrial buyers across five business divisions: Wire/Cable/Accessories, Electrical Products, Engineering & Construction, Digital Solutions, and Infrastructure Investments. Revenue exceeds USD 5.13 billion annually. Operations are project-centric, supported by Oracle ERP and Primavera P6, with acute focus on HSE compliance, cost management, and on-time delivery.
Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle ERP, and Primavera P6 form the core backbone. Project delivery is managed through Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project, with BIM coordination via Autodesk BIM 360, Revit, and Navisworks.
Project delays, ERP system stability, cost forecasting accuracy, material availability, safety/QHSE compliance, and nonconformity reduction. Current initiatives focus on HSE training, ERP upgrades, and procurement cost optimization.
