About The Position

The Opportunity Join Hitachi Energy as an Industrial Engineer, where you will play a pivotal role in shaping the physical flow and operational efficiency of a world‑class production environment. This is an exciting opportunity to lead high‑impact layout transformations, optimize material flow, and design production spaces that support safe, stable, and scalable operations. In this role, you will influence everything from workstation design to major equipment transitions, partnering across Operations, Quality, Safety, Facilities, and Engineering to bring forward innovative solutions that enhance performance and reduce waste. You’ll take ownership of the factory’s master layout, drive Lean improvements, and support cutting‑edge manufacturing processes that power a more sustainable energy future. If you thrive in fast‑paced environments, enjoy solving complex operational challenges, and excel at turning conceptual ideas into practical, on‑the‑floor execution, this opportunity allows you to make a lasting impact every day. Responsible to ensure compliance with applicable external and internal regulations, procedures and guidelines.
