As part of our continued growth in Europe, we are looking for an experienced Sales Lead Large Projects to join our Hub Europe Sales & Marketing team. This is a unique opportunity to drive and secure some of the largest and most strategic projects within the energy sector, with a particular focus on offshore wind and renewable energy projects.

- Monitor market developments, competitor activities,

- Ensure opportunities are developed in line with company strategy while managing commercial, technical, and execution risks.
- Act as an ambassador for Hitachi Energy's values of safety, integrity, collaboration, and customer focus.
