Mission Statement:

HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) is a product group within Hitachi Energy, which develops, manufactures and sells DC transmission systems to global market. HVDC technology is used to transmit electricity over long distances and for power transmission via submarine cables. By 2050 the global energy demand will increase by 50% and most of this energy has to be harnessed from renewable resources such as solar and wind and to large extent located offshore. HVDC technology is a prerequisite to make this transition in a greener, smarter and sustainable way. With rapidly expanding HVDC market and there is a great motivation for R&D to develop high quality HVDC products and solutions. At the moment, we are, expanding our R&D footprint in general and R&D project management capacity in particular. Therefore, we need to strengthen our team with several R&D Project Managers to be part of this journey to enable transition towards carbon-neutral energy system across the globe.
