As an Automation & Controls Programme Manager within our Power Conversion team, you will be at the heart of delivering cutting-edge technology that powers industries and utilities worldwide. You will lead complex, multi-disciplinary programs from concept to deployment, ensuring our automation and control solutions meet the highest standards of quality, efficiency, and performance. This is a key role within a global, matrixed environment where your leadership will bridge the gap between design, engineering, and product strategy. You will drive innovation, manage risks, and translate ambitious visions into tangible, world-class products. What you will do Lead with Impact: You will guide multi-disciplinary teams through the full development lifecycle, using agile methods to keep projects on track and aligned with customer needs. ### Coordinate Complexity By managing requirements definition, software development, and quality control, you will ensure seamless product delivery. ### Drive Strategy You will take full ownership of program timelines, budgets, and resource planning. You will proactively manage risks, resolve technical bottlenecks, and lead design reviews to ensure successful milestones. ### Collaborate Globally You will work across departmental lines—engaging with Product Management, Sourcing, Manufacturing, and Sales—to ensure that every product we launch delivers value and drives revenue. ### Champion Continuous Improvement You will foster a culture of excellence, using data and lessons learned to refine our processes, reduce defects, and improve service and quality. ### Who you are You are a collaborative professional who thrives in technical environments and excels at keeping teams focused on clear goals. You communicate with clarity and influence, and you enjoy navigating the balance between long-term strategy and daily execution. ### Essential Expertise You bring substantial experience in managing R&D programs, ideally within electrical, electronics, or industrial control systems environments. ### Program Leadership You are proficient in formal project management methodologies and tools (such as Smartsheet, MS Project, and JIRA/Confluence) to manage timelines, budgets, and cross-functional tasks. ### Risk & Quality You have a solid understanding of risk, safety, and lean management principles. ### Communication You possess the ability to bridge technical and commercial conversations, ensuring all stakeholders are updated and aligned. ### Qualifications You hold a relevant degree in Engineering or have gained equivalent, significant experience in a professional engineering setting. A professional project management certification (e.g., PMP, Prince2) is highly valued. It is a bonus if you have experience with cyber security practices, secure development lifecycles, or industrial communication protocols (such as Ethernet, LANs, and TCP/IP), but we encourage you to apply even if your experience looks a little different. ### You can expect from us Impactful Work: Opportunity to lead programmes that solve real-world energy and automation challenges. ### Growth A global, collaborative team where your contribution is visible and valued. ### Flexible Working We understand that work-life balance looks different for everyone. We are committed to discussing flexible working arrangements. ### Total Rewards An attractive compensation package and a flexible benefits program that you can tailor to your personal needs. Join us and help us electrify the world... ### Additional Information Relocation Assistance Provided Yes ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Oct 13, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 18, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 18, 2026 - Listed for: 5 days - Location: Rugby - Employment type: Full-time[Apply on GE Vernova’s careers site →](https://gevernova.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/Vernova_ExternalSite/job/Rugby/Automation---Controls-Program-Manager_R5054469-2) ## More jobs at GE Vernova ### [Lead Indirect Sourcing Specialist – UK](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ge-vernova/jobs/e3fc86aff93d157cc9e0/) Rugby ### [Commercial Manager](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ge-vernova/jobs/16e3b444d8515fc2a356/) Rugby ### [Engineer - OT Cyber Security](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ge-vernova/jobs/9f25fc83c1b5605b30d7/) Rugby ### [Finance Project Controller](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ge-vernova/jobs/1e2722db923a67b606a4/) Rugby ### [Graduate Engineer - Software](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ge-vernova/jobs/038867f25e0438d8a337/) Rugby ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Senior Automation & Controls Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/siemens/jobs/af95d08901332275c37d/) Siemens ### [Sr. Building Automation Design Engineer - PLC & Industrial Controls](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/siemens/jobs/a7c99ff53da6f6c76bec/) Siemens ### [Maintenance Technician - Controls & Automation](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/eaton/jobs/a1a8412f365b177fd332/) Eaton · Milton, Ontario, CAN ### [Plant Automation & Controls Engineer](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/siemens-energy/jobs/fa108954d79bd9a0308c/) Siemens Energy ### [Automation Engineer - Controls & Automation](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/ecolab/jobs/9acd88d28b463d768104/) Ecolab · Calgary, Alberta, Canada OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
