FAQ

Where can I find open positions? If there is no suitable job for me can I submit an unsolicited application?

You can find all open positions in our company on our job search page. We don’t accept unsolicited applications.

Do you ask candidates’ permission before checking references?

Yes, we always obtain explicit permission from the candidate before contacting references.

Do you check medical records?

We do not request medical records. However, where necessary or required by law, medical clearance is obtained before an offer is finalized. We will pay any and all associated costs and we do not carry out genetic tests.

How long does it take to hear back from Hitachi Energy after applying?

After submitting your application, you will receive an immediate automated response confirming receipt. We strive to move candidates through the recruitment process in a timely manner. However, as we receive many applications for each job, it may take from two weeks to two months before you are contacted about next steps.

Has anyone ever sent out fraudulent job offers in Hitachi Energy's name?

Some people have received what appeared to be genuine offers of employment from our company via e-mail, which turned out to be fraudulent.

"Phishing", as this type of fraud is known, is an e-mail scam targeting many businesses and individuals worldwide. The senders are generally trying to obtain personal and/or bank information. They may also be trying to extract money for processing job applications or costs related to "work permits" or "visa working papers".

In other cases, candidates have been asked for payment to secure interviews or guarantee a job.

These e-mails may look authentic, with a company logo or convincing personal details taken from social networking pages. However, they have no connection with our company and we never use these methods as part of our recruitment process.

Why can I not upload my CV or other attachments when applying?

A maximum of 10 files can be uploaded (including CV, education certificates, references, etc.), and the size of each file should not exceed 1 MB. If you have not exceeded either of these limits, then try to upload the documents again, using an alternative browser.

If files exceed the limit, upload the most important document – i.e., your CV – and forward the rest directly to the recruitment team once you have been contacted.

I receive error messages, or I experience technical issues.

First, delete cookies in your browser, then restart your browser and try again. Using an alternative browser such as Chrome or Firefox may also resolve the issue. Accessing the website in incognito mode might also help.

How do I know that my application was successfully submitted?

Once an application is submitted successfully, you will receive a confirmation email, and the application status shown in your profile will change from "Draft" to "In process". If your application is still marked "Draft", and you did not receive an email, there may have been a technical issue during submission. Please open the application and resubmit.

What is the difference between a locked and unlocked candidate profile?

An unlocked (or “released”) profile means that your CV is retained in our talent pool and our recruitment team may contact you with opportunities relevant to your experience. If your profile is locked, it is only visible to the recruiter who is processing that specific vacancy to which you have applied. You can change the status of your profile at any time:
