Join a global, forward‑thinking team that is shaping the future of the energy landscape. Hitachi Energy’s Power Consulting team partners with utilities, ISOs, developers, and large energy users to solve complex power delivery and grid‑integration challenges.

This is a unique “first on the ground” opportunity to establish our West Coast consulting presence and build trusted relationships with data center developers, hyperscalers, utilities, and key CAISO/WECC stakeholders. Designed for high autonomy, this sole‑contributor role blends business development, client engagement, and delivery support—backed by a strong national consulting organization.
As the West Coast business scales, this position could evolve into a leadership path, including the potential to build a local team or transition into a broader General Management or Business Development role.

- Experience supporting large‑load customers (e.g., data centers, industrials) on interconnection, power quality, resiliency, or procurement topics.
- Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field with power systems coursework.
- Typically 8–12+ years in power system studies, grid integration, planning, or consulting roles.
- Comfortable operating independently, navigating ambiguity, and balancing BD with delivery.
- Strong communication and stakeholder‑management skills.
- Experience with analysis tools (e.g., PSSE, PSLF, PSCAD, PROMOD) and programming tools such as Python.
- West Coast–based and willing to travel up to 25%.
- We innovate at the center of the energy transition, helping customers build a stronger, more sustainable grid.
- We offer global career pathways, learning opportunities, and development programs to support your long-term growth.
