[Hiring] Technical Program Manager @Eaton Corporation

Role Description

Eaton’s Electrical division is currently seeking a Technical Program Manager - New Product Introduction & Production Ramp Up. This is a remote position with up to 25% anticipated travel. The expected annual salary range for this role is $86,000 - $126,000 a year.

Eaton's fastest-growing data center segment seeks an experienced Project Manager for new product introduction and production ramp-up. The role involves managing complex, multi-team projects and requires proven success in delivering results on time and within scope. Candidates should possess technical expertise and strong interpersonal skills to drive accountability across teams.

• Own end-to-end project management across multiple concurrent projects — from scoping and scheduling through execution, risk mitigation, and closeout.
• Develop and maintain detailed project plans (scope, schedule, budget, critical path) aligned to business case commitments and stakeholder expectations.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams spanning engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, quality, finance, and commercial functions across multiple geographies and time zones.
• Drive accountability without direct line authority — influencing team members, functional managers, and senior leaders to maintain commitments and resolve roadblocks.
• Leverage technical understanding of project work to ask the right questions, challenge assumptions, identify risks early, and validate that deliverables meet requirements.
• Identify, assess, and proactively manage project risks and issues; develop mitigation plans and escalate as appropriate to keep projects on track.
• Establish a consistent project reporting cadence: prepare and present project status updates, metrics dashboards, and executive summaries to stakeholders and leadership.
• Facilitate structured phase-gate and milestone reviews; coordinate readiness assessments across commercial, technical, and operational dimensions.
• Drive alignment on scope, priorities, and resources across sites and functions — resolving conflicts constructively and creating clarity where ambiguity exists.
• Manage project change control — evaluate change requests for schedule, cost, and scope impact, and obtain approvals before implementation.
• Conduct lessons-learned sessions at project closeout and contribute to continuous improvement of the project management processes, tools, and standards.
• Partner with functional leaders to staff projects appropriately and clearly define team member roles and accountabilities.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Operations, Business, or a related technical discipline from an accredited institution.
• Minimum 5 years of progressive project or program management experience, with demonstrated success delivering complex, multi-stakeholder projects.

Requirements

• Eaton PROLaunch or PMP (Project Management Professional) certification.
• Experience in a manufacturing, industrial, or engineering-intensive environment.
• Familiarity with ProLaunch, PMBOK, or equivalent stage-gate project management frameworks.
• Lean / Six Sigma Green Belt or higher; experience applying CI tools in a project context.
• Proficiency with project management software (MS Project, Smartsheet, Jira, or similar) and the Microsoft Office suite.
• Experience managing projects across international sites or in a global matrix organization.
