Since 1991, our client has worked hard to create a leading diversified natural resources group with fully integrated mining, processing, energy and transport operations.

This transformation has produced a thriving international business with yearly revenue in excess of US$4.1bn, capital expenditure of around US$900m in 2007 and over 64,000 employees.

The group is now one of the world's largest produces of ferrochrome, the world's sixth largest exporter of iron ore; the world's fifth largest producer of traded alumina; and one of the largest electricity providers in the region.

Underpinning this strong growth is the stability that comes from our significant, proven reserves, low production costs, cost-effective energy supply and integrated logistics.

Together these protect us from the cyclical trends and volatility of the market, making us one of the industry's most reliable suppliers.

With their developed and efficient structure and porcesses, they are perfectly positioned - geographically and as a business - to extend their strong regional presence as the market for natural resources shifts eastwards towards Russia, China and India.

In adapting to these new opportunities, we will remain committed to the principles that have guided them throughout: committed leadership, sustained investment, technical innovation, and strong ethics.

The company wishes to implement SAP and requires an experienced ERP (preferably SAP) Programme Manager to oversee the implementation.
