The High Power Laboratory in Ludvika is a unique test facility for high voltage products. Its main purpose is to perform high quality testing both in the development of new products and in certification of the products for a global market. A large variety of non-routine electrical test procedures implies that health and safety is a critical area. Our ambition is to establish the HSE area in the lab as "best-in-class" and something that we are proud of and that can serve as a role model within Hitachi Energy.
“As HSE specialist here with us you will report directly to me, Johan Ekh, as the lab manager. I strongly believe in creating an atmosphere that encourages people take ownership of their area and to develop a “can-do” attitude. Collaboration and teamwork where we are transparent and treat each other with respect, even when the heat is on, is important to me. Health & Safety is our 'license to operate' and I am strongly committed to make sure that we as a team reach our ambition to be best-in-class. This role offers both hands-on work in our daily operation as well as global collaboration within the HSE network at Hitachi Energy. I’m looking forward to Your application!" - Johan Ekh
