Eaton is an intelligent power management company dedicated to improving the quality of life and protecting the environment for people everywhere. Every day, all around the world, people depend on technology, transportation, energy, and infrastructure to live and work. With rapid growth in electrification, an energy transition driven by climate change and explosive growth in connectivity, we’re well positioned to solve the world’s toughest electrical and mechanical power management challenges.

This role coordinates cross-functional inputs from factories, product lines, estimators, and commercial teams to deliver high‑quality, compliant, and competitive proposals. The role acts as the central integration point across distributed teams, ensuring alignment of technical solutions, pricing, and delivery strategies to maximise win probability in large-scale, strategic opportunities.

• Ensure proposals clearly articulate the integrated solution, including prefab designs and delivery models.
• Oversee development of technical documentation, compliance matrices, execution plans, and commercial submissions.
• Partner with Sales and Solutions Architects to develop winning bid strategies.
• Define key differentiators for prefabricated and integrated solutions (speed, quality, modularity, cost efficiency).
• Lead governance processes including approvals, legal review, and risk mitigation.
• Ensure compliance with customer requirements, standards, and contractual obligations.
• Implement structured bid methodologies and best practices.
• Develop reusable content for prefab/integrated solutions.

Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of experience in bid management within electrical engineering and managing complex, multi-scope or integrated solution bids.
• Exposure to prefabrication, modular construction, or integrated systems is highly desirable.
• Understanding of electrical systems (MV/LV, power distribution, switchgear, etc.).
• Familiarity with estimating practices across multiple product lines.
• Strong coordination and stakeholder management skills across distributed teams.
• Tertiary qualifications in Electrical Engineer or a related field.

• Free on‑site parking
