Job Description

Data Center Project Manager - Medium Voltage at Eaton

Eaton is seeking a Data Center Project Manager to join their EMEA Projects team. This role involves leading complex, large-scale Datacenter projects, focusing on power distribution from medium to low voltage equipment, UPS systems, and battery technologies, integrated with advanced automation and monitoring systems.

About the Role

As a Data Center Project Manager, you will be responsible for the entire project lifecycle, from order intake through implementation and construction to handover. You will manage scope, cost, and risk effectively, collaborating with customers, suppliers, and internal teams to deliver engineered-to-order solutions.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead end-to-end project execution from purchase order to handover, covering design, procurement, and implementation for electrical/automation projects in critical infrastructure in Medium Voltage projects.
  • Build and manage project teams; organize kick-off and regular meetings to align all stakeholders.
  • Develop and maintain project schedules, risk registers, and ensure proactive mitigation of issues.
  • Control project costs and margins, manage variations, and provide accurate financial forecasts.
  • Act as a single point of contact for on-site implementation, including SAT scripts and commissioning.
  • Ensure project success across safety, customer satisfaction, financial performance, and timing.
  • Drive continuous improvement by sharing lessons learned and recommending better practices.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering.
  • Accredited Project Management certification with construction site focus is an advantage.
  • Minimum 5 years of construction site management experience, ideally with hands-on Data Centre/Medium Voltage infrastructure projects.
  • Experience in large industrial projects with automation and controls will be considered.

Skills

  • Strong electrical engineering background and/or training in datacenter/medium voltage technologies and systems.
  • Direct experience with Medium Voltage related Power Management, Power Control, Mission Critical, or Building Management systems is a plus.
  • Professional level of English language; other European language knowledge is considered an advantage.
  • Driving license and ability to work and travel within the EMEA region without any restrictions.
  • Advanced-level expertise, preferably with knowledge of the datacenter industry or similar technologies.
  • Proven ability to lead and manage internal and external teams effectively.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.

What Eaton Offers

  • Employment in a company with over 100 years of history, a leader in the energy industry.
  • Commitment to Inclusion & Diversity and Sustainability.
  • Annual mentoring program, Eaton University, and a reward and recognition system.
  • Ongoing Learning and Career Development Opportunities in a global company with internal mobility.
  • A strong, agile, and diverse team locally and globally.
  • Strong processes and state-of-the-art systems and tools.
  • Structured employee development processes, open feedback culture with development plans.
  • Detailed induction support and well-structured onboarding.
  • Work-life balance with a 100% remote worktime model (Note: This seems to contradict the hybrid requirement for Zaragoza, clarify with recruiter).
  • Base salary, sales incentive, a company car, and other local benefits.

Zaragoza, Spain – Remote during onboarding, then hybrid (up to 50% on-site). Candidates must be based in Zaragoza, nearby, or willing to travel regularly to the customer construction site in Zaragoza. Travel: 50% in the EMEA region, with rotating possibilities between countries.
