Job Description:

Are you ready to put your experience to use as Senior Project Manager at Hitachi Energy GPQSS Power Quality Division? Would you like to play a major role and have impact on the organization's reputation, objectives and future business? In this role, you'll join the Power Quality GCoC (Global Centre of Competence) and be responsible for the management of system delivery projects, including technical and commercial responsibilities.

Power Quality (formerly known as FACTS) technology enables power systems owners to increase the capacity of their existing power systems while improving electrical stability at the same time. The result is that more electrical power can reach consumers with minimal environment impact after shorter project times and at lower investment costs. This pioneering technology is developed at the Grid & Power Quality Solutions unit in Västerås at our Global Centre of Competence and delivered to customers worldwide.

Your responsibilities

• In this high-profile position, you will hold the overall responsibilities for the management of assigned multimillion-dollar projects.
• Working together with other Hitachi Energy units, either as a consortium or main supplier, you will represent Grid & Power Quality Solutions internally while representing Hitachi Energy externally. It is important that the Project Manager can take the initiative and apply both creativity and perseverance to negotiate and implement the necessary actions.
• You will also manage, both strategically and operationally, the appropriate use of technical and human resources. As a front figure on our markets all over the world you are expected to have a keen interest in finding out and sharing your knowledge about new development, market trends, competitors' products and risk management.

Your background

• As Senior Project Manager, you shall have some years' experience of managing system delivery projects and you hold a Master or Bachelor's Degree in Engineering or have equivalent work experience. You also need to be highly experienced in risk management. You stay calm even if unforeseen events threaten to disrupt your projects. Your achievements are built upon a solid sense for business and commercial issues.
• A Hitachi Energy Project Management Certification or a PMP certification are preferable additional qualifications.
• Experiences aside, the most important aspect is a great attitude. We are looking for you, who are enthusiastic, energetic, willing to learn and to pitch in wherever needed in order to reach the project's goals. You are curious by nature and have excellent communication skills.
• Fluency in English is a requirement and fluency in Swedish, Spanish, Portugese or German would be considered added value.
• Previous experience in electrical systems is meritorious.
• Your experience has provided you with strong leadership and interpersonal skills. This means that you are a sharp negotiator, with an excellent ability to resolve issues, lead teams and work constructively with customer relations. You communicate in a coherent and clear way and lead your projects with great confidence - and you have the character to stand tall in good times and bad times alike.
