• Provide training to customers on operating EMS/GMS functions within the system.   
• Coordinate and efficiently resolve technical problems reported by customers in collaboration with our technical team.   
• Provide expert support to the proposals and tendering team, enabling Hitachi Energy to submit high quality bids. 
• Responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable external and internal regulations, procedures, and guidelines.
• Hitachi Energy’s core values safety and integrity, which means taking responsibility for your own actions while caring for your colleagues and the business
