Hitachi is a Japanese conglomerate founded in 1910 by Namihei Odaira as an electrical repair shop inside a copper mine, which grew into one of the country's largest industrial groups. After a decade of restructuring it now concentrates on digital systems and services, green energy and mobility, selling grid equipment through Hitachi Energy, trains and signalling through Hitachi Rail, and storage and data platforms through Hitachi Vantara. Its Lumada portfolio ties operational technology to software, and the 2021 acquisition of GlobalLogic gave the group a large digital engineering arm serving customers outside Japan.

The opportunity

At Hitachi Energy, you'll have the opportunity to lead complex and meaningful GIS projects that support the energy transition around the world. As a Project Manager, you will work with diverse international teams, customers, and stakeholders to deliver innovative solutions that make a real impact.

We are looking for a collaborative and proactive leader who enjoys bringing people together, solving challenges, and driving successful project outcomes. Whether your experience comes from GIS, substations, power infrastructure, or a related industrial environment, we encourage you to apply. We value diverse perspectives, leadership potential, and a growth mindset just as much as specific industry experience.

How you’ll make an impact

  • Lead complex international projects throughout the entire project lifecycle, from project handover through engineering, manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and final delivery

  • Take ownership of project execution, ensuring projects are delivered safely, on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standards

  • Build trusted partnerships with customers and serve as their primary point of contact throughout project delivery

  • Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams across engineering, operations, supply chain, and service functions worldwide

  • Foster strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders to drive alignment and project success

  • Proactively identify risks, opportunities, and improvement initiatives while guiding the team through challenges and change

  • Manage commercial aspects of projects, including contracts, claims, forecasting, and financial performance

  • Support continuous improvement efforts and contribute to knowledge sharing, mentoring, and the development of project management excellence within the organization

Your background

  • Master’s degree in electrical engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related technical field

  • Several years of experience driving complex international projects in a global industrial environment

  • Experience within GIS, substations, power transmission, energy infrastructure, or similar industries is highly valued

  • Being able to drive project delivery, stakeholder management, and customer engagement

  • Business and financial acumen with experience managing budgets, schedules, risks, and contracts

  • Ability to lead cross-functional teams and successfully navigate complex, multicultural project environments

  • Project Management certification (PMP, IPMA, or equivalent) is an advantage but not essential

  • Fluent in English, additional languages such as French, Italian or German are a plus

  • An organized, resilient, and solution-oriented mindset with a passion for collaboration and delivering value to customers

We know that no candidate meets every qualification listed above. If you're excited about this opportunity and believe your experience can contribute to our success, we encourage you to apply. We welcome diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences, and are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone can thrive.
