About Us

A career at Hitachi Rail will help create a legacy. With operations in every corner of the world, our work goes to the cutting-edge of digital transformation and technology. From the multi-cultural strength of our global organisation to the sustainable and innovative ways we work to bring people together, there’s something for everyone to get stuck into. And that’s where you come in.

Your New Role

As a Senior Compliance Investigator, you’ll be at the heart of our global ethics and compliance programme. You’ll lead meaningful, complex investigations that make a real difference—helping ensure we operate with integrity, transparency, and accountability across our international business.

Working closely with the Global Head of Investigations and stakeholders around the world, you’ll play a key role in fostering trust and supporting a strong speak-up culture.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead end-to-end investigations—from initial intake through to findings and reporting
• Handle sensitive matters with professionalism, discretion, and sound judgement
• Engage with stakeholders across different countries and cultures
• Analyse evidence, conduct interviews, and build clear, compelling case reports
• Partner with teams like Legal, HR, and Internal Audit to drive fair outcomes
• Spot trends and help improve how we investigate and prevent issues
• Support training and awareness initiatives that encourage colleagues to speak up
• Share your expertise by mentoring others and contributing to a high-performing team

About You

You’re an experienced investigator who is naturally curious, people-focused, and confident working in a global environment. You’re just as comfortable analysing complex information as you are building trusted relationships.

What you'll bring to the role:

• Strong experience in investigations, compliance, legal, or audit
• Experience managing complex, cross-border investigations
• Strong analytical thinking with the ability to see the bigger picture
• Excellent communication skills—you can simplify complexity and influence stakeholders
• A high level of integrity and the confidence to handle sensitive matters
• The ability to juggle priorities in a fast-moving environment
• A collaborative, culturally aware mindset

Language skills are important for this role:

• Fluent English is essential
• Additional fluency in Spanish, German and/or Italian will really set you apart, given the international nature of the work.
