Job description

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.

• 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.

• 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

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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)

• 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.

The city

The job is in Omaha, NE. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Omaha compares. Among the 40 largest places in Nebraska, Omaha is #1 by population, #3 for remote work (#1 = most), #6 for college degrees (#1 = most), #34 for homeownership (#1 = highest). Its county, Douglas County, is #2 of 93 counties for average pay ($67,868).

The place in numbers

Omaha has 488,837 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 24.7% of the population of Nebraska. It covers 143 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 3,420 people per square mile. The median age is 35.3, 5% younger than the state median (35.3 against 37.2).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,187 a month (rent plus utilities), 11% above the state median ($1,187 against $1,072). Over a year that is 19.5% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $245,500, which is 3.4 times the median household income ($73,201); a ratio under 4 usually means ownership is within reach for many households. 57.4% of households own their home, 14% below the state average (57.4% against 66.5%).

Work and pay

The Omaha, NE-IA metropolitan area has 498,100 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $49,660 a year, about the same as the national median ($49,660 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (55,630 jobs, median $47,100); food preparation and serving related (48,260 jobs, median $34,270); sales and related (43,380 jobs, median $37,540). The area is most specialised in personal care and service (1.4 times) and construction and extraction (1.2 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($108,120) and computer and mathematical ($96,400). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Douglas County was 2.6%. 69.0% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Douglas County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 71.8% drive alone, 1.0% use public transit, 1.7% walk, 15.1% work from home. 5.2% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 26% below the state average (5.2% against 7.0%). Remote work is more common than in the state as a whole, which widens the set of employers a resident can work for without moving.

People and education

40.1% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 16% above the state share (40.1% against 34.6%). 11.3% of residents were born outside the United States, 41% above the state share (11.3% against 8.0%). The poverty rate is 13.5%, 27% above the state rate (13.5% against 10.6%).

Climate

The warmest month is Jul, averaging 78°F (25.5°C), and the coolest is Jan at 23°F (-5.1°C). About 786 mm (31 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; May is the wettest month (121 mm) and Jan the driest (19 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
