• You will act as the primary customer interface and escalation point for project-related matters, maintaining strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
• You will capture and share lessons learned and ensure successful project handover and customer acceptance upon completion.
• You will promote a strong culture of health, safety, integrity, and environmental responsibility across all project activities.
• Living Hitachi Energy's core values of safety and integrity, which means taking responsibility for your own actions while caring for your colleagues and the business.
