You will play a critical role in ensuring reliable and safe operation of our systems, performing diagnostic tests, providing technical advice, and supporting continuous improvements in product performance. This position offers the opportunity to apply your technical expertise in high-voltage environments, travel across the region, and contribute to the energy transition in a hands-on way.
How you’ll make an impact
Commission, install, test, and maintain high-voltage transformers and electrical systems at customer sites.
Perform maintenance, repairs, and upgrades on transformer and substation equipment.
Conduct diagnostic tests and troubleshoot electrical and control systems, including protection relays and MV panels.
Provide technical advice and support to customers, ensuring high-quality service delivery.
Collaborate with engineering teams to improve product reliability and service performance.
Prepare detailed service and commissioning reports in line with company standards.
Ensure all work complies with Hitachi Energy’s strict safety rules, as well as local and industry regulations.
Build and maintain strong relationships with customers through professionalism, safety, and technical excellence.
Your background
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Energy Technology, or a closely related discipline.
Minimum 5 years of experience in service, commissioning, or maintenance — including at least 2 years in high-voltage environments.
In-depth knowledge of transformer design, operation, and protection systems.
Strong electrical troubleshooting and analytical skills, with proficiency in diagnostic tools and relevant software.
Fluent in English (B2) and good knowledge of Dutch (B1) — safety communication in both languages is essential.
Demonstrated safety mindset with the ability to stop or refuse unsafe work.
Willingness to travel extensively within Belgium and occasionally abroad for service calls.
