Siemens Energy

A Snapshot of Your Day

As part of the Product Management team and as PLM for our “secondary” portfolio, you are responsible for elements for control and monitoring of air-insulated switchgear/gas-insulated switchgear (AIS/GIS) 66kV to 550 kV during the complete product life cycle. That includes mainly parts like sensors, indicators, and actuators with power supplies until 250VDC which belong to the substations.

You will start your day by answering questions to your portfolio elements from the global stakeholder network. Then you will define with the team the future portfolio strategy, the Research and Development (R&D) workpackages and monitor the implementation status. Therefore, you will have several virtual meetings with engineering, order / offer management, sales, other portfolio manager, research & development and purchasing departments.
