The energy sector is changing fast, with unprecedented speed. Hitachi Energy has, with the portfolio of Grid Automation, a unique offering that will help and enable our customers to take on these new challenges.
The Role
As a Service Tendering Specialist, you will work closely with the sales team to define and compile tenders for both our established and new service offerings.
In the role of a substation automation specialist, you will be part of our Grid Automation Europe tendering team within the Hitachi Energy Group.

We operate in a dynamic and growing market and are now seeking to strengthen the team with experienced tendering professionals here in the UK.
How You'll Make An Impact

- Ensure service tenders are well-documented in a timely manner and with the appropriate level of detail, including full and accurate costs.

Manage internal and external stakeholders to support the bid preparation. This will be undertaken together with the wider Service Team.

- Build and nurture strong relationships with customers to understand their needs and support sales in ensuring the client has a great experience throughout the entire sales process, providing the required technical support.
- Collaborate with Supply Chain and Engineering Teams to identify potential vendors for equipment and materials required in the project and evaluate supplier offers from technical and commercial perspectives to match specifications.
- Live Hitachi Energy’s core values of safety and integrity by taking responsibility for your actions while caring for your colleagues and the business.
