Requisition ID76592-Posted10/30/2026

Eaton’s Electrical Sector – Power Distribution & Controls Assemblies (PDCA) business is seeking a Training Supervisor to be a key member of the growing Omaha team! This role is located onsite at our Omaha, Nebraska manufacturing site which is expanding to a new 370,000-square-foot facility in nearby Bellevue!

Reporting to the HR Manager, the Training Supervisor is responsible for owning and improving the training system for hourly manufacturing employees. The primary focus of this role is ensuring operators are trained correctly, consistently, and verified competency resulting in improved product quality, safety, and productivity. This role is highly hands‑on and visible on the shop floor. The Training Supervisor partners closely with Operations and Quality to identify training gaps, strengthen on‑the‑job training, improve trainer effectiveness, and enforce training standards. While the long‑term vision includes broader professional and leadership development, success in this role begins with stabilizing and elevating hourly production training.

In this function you will:

Ownership of Hourly Production Training (Primary Focus)

• Own end‑to‑end hourly production training, including onboarding, OJT, cross‑training, certification, and refresher training.
• Establish clear training expectations for each core production role, including defined training paths, timelines, and competency requirements.
• Ensure training is consistent across shifts, value streams, and trainers.

Competency Verification and Quality Alignment

• Implement and enforce competency verification (demonstration, assessments, observation) not just training completion.
• Maintain full authority to delay or stop certification when competency standards are not met.
• Use quality, scrap, rework, audit, and defect data to identify training gaps and drive corrective actions.
• Partner with Quality and Operations to ensure training reflects current work instructions and critical quality requirements.

Trainer Effectiveness and Accountability

• Establish and maintain a train‑the‑trainer process, including trainer selection, expectations, coaching, and feedback.
• Regularly observe trainers and training delivery to ensure consistency and effectiveness.
• Hold trainers and coordinators accountable for quality of training

Training System and Governance

• Ensure training documentation and records are accurate, complete, and audit‑ready (including LMS and skill matrices).
• Develop and track meaningful training metrics (time‑to‑competency, certification accuracy, retraining needs, audit findings).
• Escalate systemic issues and provide clear recommendations to leadership.
• Evaluate and pilot modern training methods (simulation, video, eLearning) where they directly improve speed, consistency, and quality.

Team Leadership and Function Growth

• Provide day‑to‑day leadership, coaching, and direction to hourly training coordinators.
• Assess current training resources and recommend future structure, roles, and capabilities as the plant grows.
• Act as the site expert on what the training function needs to support business demands.
• Build relationships with external schools/community partners to strengthen the hiring/training pipeline.

Required (Basic) Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree from an accredited institution and experience in manufacturing or industrial environment; OR Associate's Degree and minimum of 3 years of experience; OR a High school diploma and minimum of 5 years experience
• Minimum 2 years leading manufacturing training/OJT, production readiness, or closely related operations/quality leadership in a plant environment
• Demonstrated experience building training that improves measurable outcomes (quality, safety, productivity, time-to-competency, etc.)
• No relocation benefit is being offered for this position. Only candidates within a 50-mile radius of the posted location will be considered. Active Duty Military Service member candidates are exempt from the geographical area limitation.
• Eaton will not consider applicants for employment immigration sponsorship or support for this position. This means that Eaton will not support any CPT, OPT, or STEM OPT plans, F-1 to H-1B, H-1B cap registration, O-1, E-3, TN status, I-485 job portability, etc.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Background in electrical components, utilities, or similar regulated/quality-critical manufacturing
• Experience creating/owning training assessments and skill verification
• Working knowledge of LMS/QMS documentation expectations and maintaining skill matrices
• Instructional design capability (job instruction, task breakdowns, facilitator guides) and comfort using modern tools (video, eLearning)

What Success Looks Like:

• Hourly employees reach full competency faster, with fewer quality issues tied to training gaps.
• Training is consistent, documented, audit ready, and enforced across all shifts and value streams.
• Trainers are capable, coached, and accountable for the effectiveness of the training they deliver.
• Training metrics are visible, trusted, and used by leadership to make decisions—not maintained only for compliance.
• The training function demonstrates a digital mindset, using technology as a practical tool (not technology for technology’s sake).
• Processes that were previously manual, tribal, or inconsistent are migrating toward standardized, repeatable, and scalable.
• The training organization is viewed as a business enabler for quality and readiness, not a scheduling or administrative function.
