Job Summary
The Engineer Manager, DPP, EUBR and EPR will be responsible for leading the strategy, development, and implementation of Vertiv's Digital Product Passport (DPP), EU Battery Regulation (EUBR) and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs to meet regulatory compliance obligations with mandatory sustainability laws and circular economy goals. The DPP and EPR Manager will work closely with Vertiv's global responsible business, sustainability, procurement, and material compliance teams to ensure the success of Vertiv's DPP and EPR programs. This position is a strategic technical leadership role focused on creating, managing, and exporting digital dossiers that track a product''s entire lifecycle, from raw materials to end-of-life, to meet current and upcoming EU and US regulations. This role covers a range of responsibilities, including bridging cross-functional teams, overseeing technical integration, data traceability, and stakeholder reporting to enhance supply chain transparency. This role is critical for meeting mandatory regulatory requirements, particularly in sectors like batteries, textiles, and industrial electronics.
Responsibilities:
Lead the strategy, development, and implementation of digital systems that track and archive product lifecycle data-such as materials origins, manufacturing, maintenance, and sustainability to meet regulatory compliance and circular economy goals.
Develop systems for archiving company data and documentation of product components and test results for every single product separately while assigning a unique QR code to each. The system should also have a separate public-facing portal where customers can access a subset of this data which has been released to the public portal.
Define and implement supplier qualification criteria related to DPP data provision capabilities, integrating these into existing engineering, procurement governance and vendor management processes
Analyze Vertiv's products, components and batteries for adherence to mandatory DPP regulations and EPR obligations (including EU ESPR, EUBR, Packaging Waste Directives and US EPR responsibilities).
Develop and manage structured processes for collecting DPP-required data (material composition, carbon footprint, substances of concern) from suppliers via procurement and engineering channels
Bridge cross-functional teams, overseeing technical data integration, data traceability, and stakeholder reporting to ensure DPP and EPR obligations and deadlines are being met.
Collaborate with material compliance, sustainability, engineering, procurement, and marketing teams to integrate DPP and EPR requirements into the product development lifecycle.
Own program coordination for EUBR implementation, ensuring business readiness across data, systems, supplier engagement, and regulatory deliverables
Support the integration of DPP systems with existing Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES).
Align DPP and EPR data requirements with existing procurement intake processes (e.g., ServiceNow Intake Forms) and engineering product development processes to ensure regulatory data is clearly identified at the product design stage and captured at the point of purchase initiation rather than retroactively
Managing technical data exchange with external suppliers to ensure traceability across the value chain.
Ensure secure information sharing via unique identifiers (e.g., QR codes, RFID) and decentralized data storage
Develop and maintain subject matter expertise on DPP and EPR regulations, and best practices.
