Five reasons to join our Supply Chain Management team at Eaton

I joined Eaton more than 30 years ago. Throughout my career, I have grown professionally, and personally, in ways that I never would have imagined when I accepted my first job offer with Eaton as a Cost Management Engineer in Brazil. Since then, I have been fortunate enough to move all over the world, exploring my career in supply chain management and expanding my horizons.

In February, I sat down with Martin Walker , VP, Global Materials and Logistics, and Paulo Ruiz Sternadt ,President & COO – Industrial Sector. One of the topics we covered was recruitment and career growth, not only to supply chain, but to Eaton in general. Our challenge:  How can we make work exciting for both new recruits and existing team members? And the bottom line? Our new digital/AI initiatives are making that task a lot easier. With AI and machine learning rapidly reshaping supply chain management all over the world, these are exciting times at Eaton. 

This is just not for new employees. It’s for the employees who have been here a year, five years, 30 years. We focused on what we need to do to ensure that every employee has every opportunity to advance their careers. Take a moment and watch this short clip from that conversation:

Here are some more reasons why I think Eaton is the place to be:

1. Upskilling: We take employee development seriously at Eaton, and we want you to grow within your role. Whether it’s taking a class through Eaton University; attending a conference with colleagues; attending an event hosted by an iERG; or participating in a stretch assignment, there are plenty of opportunities to grow.
2. Sustainability: At Eaton, our mission is to become carbon neutral and certify 100% of our manufacturing sites zero waste landfill by 2030. We solve for the solutions in sustainability; we don’t add to the problems. We are also a premier partner of the Sustainable Procurement Pledge. Be a part of the sustainable transformation.
3. Digital advancements: It’s 2024. The year of AI. Technology is moving at a rapid pace, and Eaton is moving fast to stay ahead of competition.
4. Diversity: We take pride in the diversity of our suppliers, and we made history in 2023 by spending more than $1 billion with diverse suppliers. This represented an increase in spend with disabled-owned businesses by almost 20% and LGBTQ-owned businesses by almost 40%. We purchased more than $2 billion in goods and services from small and diverse suppliers, which represented 34% of our overall spend with U.S. suppliers.
5. Transformation: “To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often” – Winston Churchill. Transformation is at the heart of what we do at Eaton. Whether we are changing the day-to-day lives of our employees with a new technology; changing a plant by bringing renewable energy to their building; or changing the life of a small business owner by signing a contract with them – change and transformation is at the heart of what we do.

I invite you to take the first step toward a change – a new direction – and the opportunity to be a part of something bigger. For a list of open career opportunities, please visit Eaton Careers.
