This is a full-time position requiring approximately 50% travel. The role will operate in a hybrid environment, with time spent at Eaton locations, supplier sites, and working remotely from home.\nThe expected annual salary range for this role is $106000 - $133000 a year. \nPlease 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.\nWhat you’ll do:\nThe Supply Planner serves as the business planning authority for the mid- to long-range supply horizon, owning the rolling 3-to-24-month constrained supply plan through Eaton’s Sales, Inventory and Operations Planning (SIOP) process.\nThis role translates the consensus demand plan into a feasible supply response by integrating capacity, materials, labor, tooling, supplier, inventory, logistics, and network constraints. The Supply Planner develops scenarios, evaluates trade-offs, and provides recommendations that enable informed leadership decisions.\nReporting to the SIOP Leader, this global individual-contributor role leads the Supply Review for the assigned business, region, product line, or value stream, connecting strategic and tactical planning with execution.\nThe Supply Planner establishes supply direction and planning assumptions that Network Planners, Master Schedulers, Buyers, and other execution teams translate into executable schedules. This role does not own day-to-day production scheduling, purchase-order expediting, or transactional material execution.\nEssential Functions:\nOwn the rolling 3-to-24-month constrained supply plan and supply-side inputs to the monthly SIOP cycle, balancing consensus demand against current and planned capacity.\nLead the Supply Review for the assigned scope, consolidating constraints and assumptions across Manufacturing, Procurement, Logistics, and the broader supply network. Resolve issues at the planning level and escalate unresolved gaps with clear options and recommendations.\nPerform rough-cut capacity planning across labor, equipment, production lines, tooling, suppliers, and critical materials, distinguishing structural constraints from short-term execution issues.\nDevelop base, upside, downside, and what-if scenarios that quantify trade-offs across service, revenue, inventory, cost, cash, and capacity to support timely leadership decisions.\nProactively identify supply, capacity, and lead-time risks and recommend mitigation strategies, including capital, staffing, sourcing, and inventory actions.\nTranslate the strategic supply plan into appropriate inventory, safety-stock, and pre-build strategies, providing a clear and risk-informed handoff as requirements move into network and execution planning.\nPartner with Demand Planning, Finance, Operations, Procurement, Product Management, and Commercial teams to align the supply plan with the Annual Operating Plan, rolling financial forecasts, and portfolio priorities.\nAssess supply implications associated with new product introductions, product phase-outs, promotions, sourcing changes, footprint decisions, and major commercial opportunities.\nOwn and validate key planning assumptions and scenario inputs.\nDevelop decision-quality analytics and effectively communicate risks, options, assumptions, financial implications, and required decisions to senior business leaders.\nDrive adoption of Eaton standard work, common planning definitions, digital planning tools, and governance while improving data quality, process maturity, and planning capabilities.\nTrack action closure and measure supply-plan effectiveness across planning horizons, ensuring decisions and mitigation actions are effectively carried into execution.\nQualifications:\nBasic (Required) Qualifications:\nBachelor’s degree from an accredited institution.\nMinimum of 5 years of progressive supply chain planning experience within a manufacturing or complex multi-site environment.\nMinimum of 2 years of experience in SIOP, S&OE, IBP, capacity planning, material planning, or constrained supply planning, including cross-functional decision support.\nMinimum of 2 years of experience translating complex data and planning scenarios into actionable recommendations for business leaders.\nValid and unrestricted driver's license. \nMust be legally authorized to work in Canada without company sponsorship now or in the future.\nPreferred Qualifications:\nBachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Engineering, Business, or a related field.\n7+ years of relevant planning experience, including ownership of a multi-site, regional, product-line, or value-stream supply plan.\nExperience working across multiple countries, businesses, product lines, or manufacturing networks.\nExperience identifying and managing risks and opportunities in alignment with financial forecasts and business objectives.\nASCM CPIM or CSCP certification, or formal S&OP/IBP training.\nExperience with continuous improvement methodologies, including Lean or Six Sigma.\nSkills:\nAdvanced knowledge of SIOP/IBP, rough-cut capacity planning, constrained supply planning, inventory strategy, and planning-horizon design.\nAdvanced Excel and data-modeling capabilities, with experience using Power BI or comparable data-visualization tools.\nExperience with ERP and advanced planning platforms such as SAP and Kinaxis RapidResponse.\nAbility to connect operational scenarios with service, revenue, margin, working capital, cash, and capital implications.\nWorking knowledge of master data, planning parameters, product lifecycle management, and supply-network design.\nStrong critical-thinking and data-storytelling capabilities, with the ability to translate complex information into clear business recommendations.\nAbility to influence and drive alignment across cross-functional teams without direct authority.\nContinuous-improvement mindset with a focus on scalable and sustainable planning processes.\nStrategic and enterprise mindset, with the ability to balance local priorities with broader business objectives.\nStrong executive presence and communication skills, with the ability to effectively present recommendations, risks, and trade-offs to senior leadership.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6287,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Canada","iso":"CA","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Aerospace
