Do you want to work for a global player, where we care about ethics, inclusion and diversity and our people?

We have just opened an exciting opportunity for a project manager

Location: South Germany - DACH region

Primary function:

The Project Manager (PM) is responsible to ensure the successful delivery of major projects for strategic customers. Such projects are mainly for data centre fit out, but could include other types of large and complex projects requiring site works.

Working as an integral part of the customer Project execution team, the PM can work from a local (or home) base, whilst travelling as needed to other locations to the construction sites during implementation phases. The role requires an experienced, composed, highly motivated, self-starter who can effectively communicate and work with a wide variety of stakeholders in a dynamic environment.

Eaton's Data Centre projects can involve every aspect of power distribution from low to medium voltage, UPS (uninterrupted power supply),

and automation such as EPMS (Energy Power Monitoring System).

The PM brings electrical expertise mainly from the field of low and medium voltage plus utilities, so experience would be an absolute advantage!

Job responsibilities:

• Use modern project management practices and techniques to execute projects from PO to handover to service. This includes design engineering, procurement, and implementation of projects electrical and/or automation projects for critical infrastructure (e.g. Data Centres).
• Take full responsibility for his/her assigned projects and bring them to successful completion using Eaton project management processes and tools, plus managing the people and resources who deliver the project.
• Identify, build, and maintain a project team. Organize kick-off then regular meetings, and ensure clear scope and understanding of deliverables for all internal (e.g. engineering, procurement, service) and external stakeholders (e.g. customers, end users, contractors, 3rd parties, subcontractors)
• Provide regular reporting to both internal and external stakeholders to ensure common understanding of progress toward the project's deliverables.
• Work with Eaton internal engineering teams to align on the definition of deliverables as per technical specification and customer requirements
• Manage the project margin by controlling costs, managing variations, and regularly report out the financial forecast and status as required.
• Training/Transition: The PM will organize and often lead the customer (and internal) training at project closure, hand over to the Eaton service support teams, and do a full lessons-learned close out of the projects.

We would like you to bring:

• Bachelors' Degree or Masters' Degree from an accredited institution with a strong preference toward electrical engineering is highly desirable.
• 5+ years of project/site management experience plus an equivalent of hands-on site works (Data Centres).
• Experience with other large and complex industrial projects will also be considered, especially if they included works in automation.
• A strong electrical background and/or training on power distribution is highly desired
• Experience working specifically with Power Management, Power Control, Mission Critical, or Building Management systems is a plus.
