🏢 About Aggreko

Aggreko is a global leader in energy solutions, providing innovative equipment and services to reduce environmental impact across industries. With a strong focus on sustainability and a global presence, Aggreko offers a dynamic remote work environment within the EU, allowing you to make a tangible difference in the energy transition.

About This Role

As the TC Product Manager, you will own the global product strategy for temperature control equipment, including chillers and boilers. This role is critical to Aggreko's growth, as you'll drive product lifecycle management, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and ensure products meet customer needs while maximizing ROI and sustainability.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a stand-up with engineering to review progress on a new chiller design, followed by a meeting with regional sales teams to gather customer feedback on boiler performance. You'll then analyze utilization data to refine the product roadmap, and end the day preparing a business case for CAPEX approval on a new cooling tower line.

  • An experienced Product Manager with a proven track record of launching and managing industrial or engineered products, preferably in HVAC, energy, or power.
  • Commercially strong, with experience owning business cases, CAPEX decisions, and ROI outcomes, and comfortable presenting to senior leadership.
  • Technically credible, with a solid understanding of asset-intensive products and the ability to balance regional customer requirements with global standards.
  • A collaborative leader who thrives in a cross-functional environment, working effectively with engineering, supply chain, and regional teams.
