At Hitachi Energy, we’re building the ES Regional Office (ESOPC) in Madrid as part of our Grid & Power Quality Solutions business in Europe (HBUEU). This is a chance to join a team that is driving innovation in power systems, making them more efficient, stable, and sustainable for generations to come.

As a Project Planning and Controls Specialist, you’ll join a team driving excellence in power quality systems—mastering planning, scheduling, tendering, and execution. This role integrates cost control and resource optimization to ensure flawless project delivery.

• Perform power system studies and simulations to support the design and validation of HVDC transmission systems.
• Contribute to technical activities during both tender and project execution phases, ensuring customer requirements are translated into robust engineering solutions.
• Develop and optimise control models using industry-standard simulation tools while analysing system performance under different operating conditions.
• Support Factory System Tests in Sweden and occasionally participate in commissioning activities at customer sites worldwide.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams and international specialists to deliver safe, reliable, and high-quality technical solutions.
• Build your technical expertise through continuous learning while contributing to the growth of a new engineering team in Spain.

• Bachelor's, Master's or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Engineering Physics or a related discipline.
• Experience in power systems, electrical engineering, control systems or similar technical environments.
• Knowledge of simulation tools such as PSCAD, PSSE, DIgSILENT PowerFactory, Matlab, ETAP or similar would be an advantage.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to solve technical problems in a structured and methodical way.
• Fluent English is required; Spanish is highly valued and Swedish would be an advantage.
• Self-driven, curious and collaborative mindset, with excellent communication skills and willingness to learn within an international engineering environment.
