Voice of Success

I am currently in my 7th year working as engineer in the "wind turbine design department", a department responsible for designing structures and performing calculations of wind turbines, to ensure their safe implementation in Japan, a country well-known for its vulnerability to earthquakes.

My responsibilities primarily involve assisting clients, both local and international, who are seeking to build wind energy farms in Japan. I am tasked with evaluating the working loads and structural capacity of wind turbines according to Japanese design standards and supporting clients in obtaining the necessary certifications to construct their turbines.

For this purpose, studying design codes and participating in meetings in Japanese are essential. My colleagues provided invaluable support during my learning stages. Thanks to their help, I was able to grow considerably and am now entrusted with leading projects with a small team to assist clients in expanding Japan's renewable energy efforts.

Working in a Japanese company has allowed me to rapidly improve my Japanese language skills, deepen my technical expertise, and utilize my existing language skills to support international clients. It took me some time to adapt when I first joined the team, but my colleagues were very supportive, which helped me accelerate my growth.

As for living in Japan, I am sure many have heard this before, but Japan is a very clean and safe place to live, and it is something I deeply appreciate. I am not really that well-traveled, so I have been thoroughly enjoying and pleasantly surprised by the beautiful places, the friendly people, the delicious food, and the changing seasons.

I hope I have been able to share some insights into working in Japan and about KKE.

There is still so much more I could say about working and living in Japan, but I would rather the ACF participants experience them firsthand. So please, be sure to explore what the companies have to offer at the event and come join us!
Good luck to everyone.
