Eaton’s Corporate Sector division is currently seeking a Senior Growth Sites-Front End Engineering Program Manager. This position can sit out of one of the following locations: Beachwood OH, Galesburg MI, Houston TX, Menomonee Falls WI, Moon Township PA, or Raleigh NC. The expected annual salary range for this role is $165,000 - $242,000 a year. This position is also eligible for a variable incentive program.
Please note the salary information shown above is a general guideline only. Salaries are based upon candidate skills, experience, and qualifications, as well as market and business considerations.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
We are seeking an expert-level Senior Program Manager with broad experience in program management. The ideal candidate will translate business or functional vision into plans and guide their execution, participating in the development of business or functional strategy and being accountable for results that impact the entire business or function. Senior Program Manager will be responsible for the most complex programs in the IT Portfolio.
This role sits within IT Operations & Enterprise PMO, providing the operating backbone for how we organize work to support Eaton's Key Growth Sites. This role is responsible for organizing and scaling our operating model across our Key Strategic Growth (KSG) sites (i.e. Asheville El Paso 2 Greenwood Omaha). The Senior Program Manager owns the end-to-end Front-End Engineering value stream (Quote Engineering Release) across these sites — one roadmap, one KPI set, one outcome story — scaling proven solutions site to site rather than running each site as standalone project work.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop and implement program plans and strategies that align with organizational goals.
- Lead and manage complex program activities, ensuring they are delivered on time, within scope, and within budget.
- Collaborate with the CI, digital, and operations teams to ensure seamless integration and alignment of program initiatives.
- Monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of program strategies and make necessary adjustments.
- Provide support and guidance to team members to help them achieve program objectives.
- Communicate program initiatives and their impact to all stakeholders effectively.
Coordinate Value-Stream based Delivery:
- Drive one outcome story across the Quote Engineering Release roadmap, milestones, and KPI performance across all the growth sites, rather than site-by-site execution.
- Partner with CI and Digital (IT) delivery teams to organize the work to deliver the front-end digital backbone — configure/quote-to-order, engineering automation, and PLM/BOM-master integrity. Leverage key resource teams such as Enterprise Architecture, Solution Architecture, and Integrated Ops to drive outcomes (IT delivers the digital backbone; Integrated Ops defines the process).
- Plan out the forward-deployment plan for where we take a capability next, in partnership with capability owners and BRMs.
- Ensure our teams create repeatable standard work so it can be scaled to prioritized growth sites; manage cross-site sequencing and dependencies.
- Partner in the operating model — BRMs own funding, business prioritization, and benefit realization; CI designs the process improvements; and site leads deploy and sustain. You own coordination, delivery, KPI attainment, and the dependencies between them.
- Track business value and benefit realization (roadmap readiness, engineering DPU, design-to-release cycle time); communicate via monthly steering committees and report progress and risk on the joint business and IT leadership cadence.
Additional responsibilities include:
- Provide governance for standard work and tools for tracking all digital and CI growth site work at a program level.
- Own and arbitrate dependencies across the three value streams, with authority to re-sequence delivery and reallocate execution capacity when streams contend for the same site, resource, or window.
- Own the cross-stream delivery steering across value streams and is the single escalation and decision authority for execution issues spanning the three streams (delivery steering, not portfolio governance).
- Create the integrated roadmap and coordinate cross-stream prioritization.
- Own steering governance and is the escalation authority across all three streams.
KEY SKILLS
- Advanced Leadership: Exceptional leadership skills to manage complex program activities and guide program teams.
- Strategic Planning: Expertise in developing and executing strategic program plans.
- Change Management: Proficiency in managing organizational change and ensuring smooth transitions.
- Conflict Resolution: Strong skills in resolving conflicts and addressing challenges that may arise during program execution.

- Decision-Making: Strong decision-making skills to make informed choices that impact program success.
- Work Organization: Ability to organize work that is already in motion and make thoughtful changes to accelerate outcomes.
- Matrixed Collaboration: Ability to work effectively in a matrixed organization.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES AND SUCCESS METRICS
- Successful Implementation of Complex Program Initiatives: Ensure that all complex program initiatives are implemented successfully, meeting the defined objectives and timelines.
- High Stakeholder Satisfaction: Maintain high levels of satisfaction among stakeholders by effectively communicating program initiatives and their impact, and addressing any concerns promptly.
- Effective Collaboration: Achieve seamless integration and alignment of complex program initiatives with the CI, digital, and operations teams.
- Continuous Improvement: Continuously monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of program strategies, making necessary adjustments to improve outcomes.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Engineering Jobs at Eaton
Align your degree to Eaton's specialty occupations
Eaton files LCAs across electrical, mechanical, and systems engineering disciplines. USCIS requires your degree field to match the specific role, so confirm your credential maps directly to the posted job title before applying.
Target roles in Eaton's power management divisions
Eaton's strongest engineering hiring concentrates in power distribution, hydraulics, and vehicle electrification. Applying to positions within these product lines puts you closer to teams with active headcount approvals and established sponsorship workflows.
Use Migrate Mate to filter Eaton's open engineering roles
Eaton posts across multiple job boards, making it hard to track which openings are active. Migrate Mate filters Eaton engineering jobs by visa sponsorship eligibility, saving you from applying to roles that won't support your status.
Raise OPT and STEM extension timelines early in interviews
If you're on F-1 OPT, your employer must be E-Verify enrolled to authorize your STEM extension. Eaton is E-Verify registered, but your hiring manager may not know the 90-day filing window. Flag it before your start date is set.
Understand where TN fits for Canadian and Mexican engineers
Engineers holding a Canadian or Mexican nationality may qualify for TN status under the USMCA. TN has no lottery and no annual cap, which can make it a faster path than H-1B for the same engineering role at Eaton.
Plan your H-1B timeline around the April lottery registration
If you're cap-subject, USCIS opens H-1B registration in March with an October 1 start date. Work backward from that date when negotiating your offer letter so Eaton's legal team has enough lead time to file without premium processing pressure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Eaton sponsor H-1B visas for Engineers?
Yes, Eaton sponsors H-1B visas for engineering roles. The company files petitions across electrical, mechanical, and systems engineering positions. Cap-subject candidates need to clear the annual USCIS lottery with an October 1 start date, while cap-exempt scenarios, such as transfers from a previous H-1B employer, can be filed year-round with no lottery requirement.
How do I apply for Engineering jobs at Eaton?
Applications go through Eaton's careers portal at eaton.com. Search by engineering discipline or product division, such as electrical, hydraulics, or aerospace. Tailor your resume to the specific engineering function listed in the job description, since Eaton's recruiters screen by technical specialization. Migrate Mate also aggregates Eaton's open engineering roles filtered by visa sponsorship eligibility, which simplifies the search.
Which visa types does Eaton commonly sponsor for Engineering roles?
Eaton sponsors H-1B, TN visa, and Green Card pathways including EB-2 and EB-3 for engineering positions. F-1 OPT and CPT are also supported for students and recent graduates. TN visa is available to Canadian and Mexican engineers without a lottery. EB-2 National Interest Waiver is an option for engineers with advanced degrees and documented technical impact, though Eaton's standard Green Card path typically runs through PERM labor certification.
What qualifications does Eaton expect for sponsored Engineering positions?
Most sponsored engineering roles at Eaton require a bachelor's degree at minimum in an engineering discipline directly related to the position, which USCIS defines as a specialty occupation. Roles in power systems, vehicle electrification, and industrial automation often prefer master's degrees or several years of domain-specific experience. Candidates without a four-year U.S.-equivalent degree can substitute three years of relevant work experience for each missing year of education under USCIS guidelines.
How do I time my application if I need H-1B sponsorship from Eaton?
USCIS opens H-1B lottery registration each March for an October 1 employment start. That means you should target Eaton offers in the December to February window so your employer has time to register and file. If you're selected in the lottery, Eaton's legal team typically files the full petition before the June 30 deadline. Candidates already on H-1B from a previous employer can transfer to Eaton at any point in the year under cap-exempt portability rules.
