Regional Process & Transformation Lead

Hitachi Energy Service is a trusted lifecycle partner, providing customers with secure, sustainable, and innovative service solutions, globally. Our Service offerings empower customers & partners to holistically manage the asset lifecycle—from start-of-life (e.g., Install & Commission), through services designed to strengthen operational-life (e.g., Upgrade, Repair & Extend), to end-of-life activities (e.g., Replace & Decommission). Designed to adapt to every O&M strategy, services can be procured stand-alone or as part of an EnCompass partnership agreement. Additionally, the net-zero transition begins with the Installed Base and we continue to innovate across our ‘Sustain & Decarbonize’ category, which includes our made-for sustainability offerings.

As the Regional Process & Transformation Lead, you will be the driving force behind operational excellence and digital adoption within our local HUB. You will bridge global strategy with regional execution, leading the implementation of next-generation business processes that standardize, digitize, and optimize our operations. Your work will directly impact efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and regional competitiveness.

The role is open to be based in the home country of the successful applicants (Malaysia, Singapore)
