The opportunity

Join Hitachi Energy at a moment where innovation, collaboration, and purpose come together to shape the future of power. As a Project Manager in our Transformer Business Unit, you will play a central role in delivering complex, high‑visibility projects that support the North American energy landscape.

Reporting to the Director, Program Management Office—HUB North America, you will lead multiple, interrelated projects within the NAM Power Transformers Group. These projects are delivered in close partnership with a key strategic customer and executed across several Hitachi Energy factories, giving you exposure to a broad manufacturing network and diverse stakeholders.

You will work cross‑functionally with engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, service, and legal teams, while acting as a trusted point of contact for customers. Along the way, you’ll contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, strengthen best practices, and grow your project management capabilities in a supportive, inclusive, and dynamic environment.

If you are motivated by accountability, collaboration, and making a visible impact in a growing energy organization, this is an opportunity to build a meaningful and rewarding career.
