Hi. I’m Miharu Kishimoto, Finance and Order Handling at Hitachi Energy in Japan.
I worked in an administrative position at a specialized trading company before joining Hitachi Energy in Japan in February 2021 as a member of the order handling team.
I had wanted to work for a foreign company at least once, but I had concerns about switching jobs from a Japanese company. Back then Hitachi Energy was a joint venture between a foreign company headquartered in Switzerland and Hitachi.
My main tasks include order registration, domestic and international transportation arrangements, invoicing, and payment processing. It seems like a job that requires little socialization. But I was wrong. It involves a great deal of interaction with people—sales representatives from various departments, customers, and overseas group companies.
