Dear Rahul
only some minor add on hints: If you are "experienced" on legal etc. needs in EHS in most cases in doing the business you come in touch with IT software. Depending on your experience some minor hints:
- if you have no experience in using Microsoft Office solutions this might be a challenge for you
- if you have no exprience with the concept of an "ERP" software (SAP driven or not) this might be a challenge
- if you have no experience at all with SAP (not even as an enduser) this might be a challenge
The challenge to start a SAP driven career is huge. There a lot of "career" paths/options to go "somethere". Before you check these options you need to have some kind of basic knowlegde of the options
- you could be an EndUser of SAP solutions
- you could be a SAP "technical" guy
- you could be a SAP "functional" guy
- you could lead etc. SAP driven projects as project manager.
- etc.
In your case the "best" option is to look for the "functional" carrier may be starting as "end user".
What kind of SAP expertise do you need? If you look for the "functional" career the EHS specific trainings are a "must" (refer to the link presented) but first you should have some"basic" knowledge about SAP etc. But using the same link as shown you wil get as well training options
A quite important question of "career" options is your current location. E.g. many companies do have "hubs" in India, China etc. and look for "technical SAP guys" (but functionals as well). On the top it is a kind of decision (and risk) about future options. EHS/EHMS as such will grow/change etc. A lot of business needs are outside there which "drives" as well the SAP strategy; therefore one basic skill is required: you must be flexible ! What was of interset yesterday is out of interest tomorrow (e.g. HANA ...).
In the document as cited you will find some links to other threads with same questions (what are career options); you find lot of more than that if you just search.
At least you will need something like 2 up to 3 years to "learn" and use EHS/EHSM solutions. And may be after 5 years you can really define: i a m now a kind of expert
One addtional complexity is: you need to know the integration options of EHS/EHSM. Therefore you need to acquire as well basic/good knowlegde in other SAP modules as MM, PP, SD etc.
Still EHS/EHSM is a kind of "special knowlegde; you will find lot of job options if you just use google.. This will not change; with the invention of the "Component" solution of EHS the interest might be bigger; but honestly; it is a "hard" work to learn and go this way if you have limited background (IT software skills)
