How to Apply for Customer Service Experienced Professional

at HITACHI ENERGY

🏢 About HITACHI ENERGY

Hitachi Energy is a global leader in advancing sustainable energy systems, specifically focused on creating a carbon-neutral future through innovative power technologies. Working here means contributing directly to India's energy transition while being part of a multinational corporation with strong Japanese engineering heritage and global impact.

About This Role

This role manages customer repair order execution for India's domestic and export regions, ensuring seamless reclamation processes and warranty claims. You'll be the operational link between customers, internal teams, and GBS (Global Business Services), directly impacting customer satisfaction and Hitachi Energy's service reliability in the power systems protection sector.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day typically starts by reviewing the Repair Order Register and cross-checking it against the ERP Order Backlog to identify discrepancies. You'll then process new customer orders in the ERP system, send acknowledgments and offers, while coordinating with internal teams on warranty claims. Throughout the day, you'll communicate with customers about dispatch details and resolve any issues in the reclamation process for allocated regions.

🎯 Who HITACHI ENERGY Is Looking For

  • An electrical engineer (BE/B.Tech) with 2-5 years of experience in power systems protection who can troubleshoot technical repair issues
  • Someone proficient in ERP systems, specifically the SD (Sales and Distribution) module, with demonstrated ability to manage order backlogs and resolve discrepancies
  • A problem-solver who can coordinate warranty claims with suppliers while maintaining strong customer relationships through clear communication
  • A detail-oriented professional experienced with Microsoft Office who can maintain accurate repair order registers and meet tight deadlines

📝 Tips for Applying to HITACHI ENERGY

1

Highlight specific experience with ERP SD module - mention the system name if possible (SAP, Oracle, etc.) and quantify how you've managed order backlogs

2

Demonstrate your understanding of power systems protection by mentioning relevant coursework or projects from your electrical engineering background

3

Include examples of coordinating warranty claims between customers and suppliers in previous roles

4

Show how you've resolved discrepancies between different systems (like ERP vs. manual registers) in past positions

5

Tailor your resume to show customer service experience specifically in technical/industrial sectors rather than generic retail customer service
