๐Ÿข About HITACHI ENERGY

Hitachi Energy is a global leader in advancing sustainable energy systems, dedicated to a carbon-neutral future. Working here means contributing to cutting-edge projects that shape the future of energy, with a strong emphasis on innovation and sustainability. The company's remote-first culture offers flexibility while being part of a mission-driven team.

About This Role

As a Senior Consultant, you will lead ABAP and FIORI development, manage interfaces, and handle SPDD/SPAU code remediation for SAP transformations. This role is impactful because you'll directly enable enterprise applications to support Hitachi Energy's sustainability goals through efficient and modernized SAP systems.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a stand-up meeting with your remote team to align on priorities, then diving into code remediation tasks (e.g., reviewing SPDD logs). You might spend afternoons designing FIORI app enhancements or troubleshooting interface issues, with occasional calls with business stakeholders to gather requirements. The day ends with documenting progress and updating Jira tickets.

๐ŸŽฏ Who HITACHI ENERGY Is Looking For

  • Has deep hands-on experience with ABAP, FIORI, and SAP interface technologies (e.g., RFC, IDoc, OData) in complex enterprise environments.
  • Proven track record in SPDD/SPAU and code remediation during SAP upgrades or transformations, with ability to resolve conflicts and ensure system stability.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently in a remote setting, with excellent communication for cross-team collaboration.
  • Familiarity with Hitachi Energy's industry (energy, utilities) and passion for sustainability is a plus.

๐Ÿ“ Tips for Applying to HITACHI ENERGY

1

Tailor your resume to highlight specific projects where you performed SPDD/SPAU and code remediation, including outcomes like reduced downtime or improved performance.

2

In your cover letter, explicitly connect your experience with ABAP/FIORI to Hitachi Energy's mission of sustainable energy, showing how your skills enable their digital transformation.

3

Prepare a portfolio or case study of a complex SAP interface integration you've led, detailing challenges and how you overcame them.

4

Since the role is remote, emphasize your self-management, communication tools proficiency (e.g., Teams, Jira), and past remote work successes.

5

Research Hitachi Energy's recent SAP projects or sustainability initiatives and mention them in your application to show genuine interest.

โœ‰๏ธ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your direct experience with ABAP, FIORI, and SAP interfaces, especially in upgrade projects involving SPDD/SPAU.', "How your technical skills align with Hitachi Energy's goal of advancing sustainable energy through digital transformation.", 'Examples of leading code remediation efforts that improved system performance or reduced technical debt.', 'Your ability to work effectively in a remote, global team environment, with a focus on collaboration and results.']

โš ๏ธ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Avoid generic SAP consultant resumesโ€”tailor specifically to ABAP, FIORI, SPDD/SPAU and omit unrelated technologies.
  • Don't underestimate the importance of soft skills for remote work; failing to mention communication or time management can be a red flag.
  • Avoid claiming expertise in areas you don't have, as technical interviews will probe deeply. Be honest about your skill level.
