The opportunity

At Hitachi Energy, our purpose is advancing a sustainable energy future for all. We are looking for a dedicated Service Commissioning Engineer to join our Service team based in Rotterdam. In this field-based role, you will work directly with customers to commission, install, test, and maintain high-voltage transformers and related electrical equipment.

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 the Netherlands and occasionally abroad for service calls.

We pride ourselves on offering a holistic range of competitive benefits to support your financial, physical, and mental wellbeing, as well as your professional growth. We want you to truly thrive with us, in work and out.

For this role, depending on grade and experience, we offer the following employee benefits (subject to plan rules):

• Pension plan
• Tool-of-trade car for business travel
• Enhanced leave programs - 40 days of paid time off (PTO) in the Netherlands, with the option to buy or sell days
• Continuous learning and development opportunities
• Flexible working arrangements when not on-site

Qualified individuals with a disability may request a reasonable accommodation if you are unable or limited in your ability to use or access the Hitachi Energy career site as a result of your disability. You may request reasonable accommodations by completing a general inquiry form on our website.
