Technology Analytics Specialist
What experience led you to joining Hitachi?
As part of my engineering degree, I completed a 12 week internship program with HCA. Following this, I was offered a permanent role as a graduate engineer in early 2020. Through the graduate program I gained the opportunity to work in different areas of the business, which led me to my role of Technology Analytics Specialist. I have enjoyed learning about the industry and the business beyond what the machines do.
What do you do as a Technology Analytics Specialist?
I analyse how we can better utilise technology within the business. This includes rolling out new developments such as updates to the ConSite platform, performing analysis tasks on machine telemetry and parts, then determining how we can improve reporting techniques to make the data more accessible in the future. I like that my job is about innovation and development. It has huge potential to influence how Hitachi use the technology to report, record and use data.
What other interests do you have outside of work?
I am a nationally accredited hockey umpire and have umpired in our top domestic league – previously known as the Australian Hockey League, now called Hockey One. Umpiring can be very challenging, especially with mentality and mindset, but it is also extremely rewarding. I have been lucky it has granted me opportunities to travel, including overseas!
Which personal attributes did you need to apply to help you succeed?
Confidence – I found going through university the easy bit because I was very comfortable and confident in my academic abilities. The transition to the ‘real world’ was harder and I started to doubt myself in an unfamiliar industry. I remind myself that it is ok to still be learning and ask questions because going forward is what really matters.
Do you find your job fulfilling and inclusive?
I am always challenged and learning new things, which leads to a sense of accomplishment. As we become more technologically advanced and need better tools to support this, there is great potential for my role to change how Hitachi uses data. I feel that at Hitachi, my career path will be defined by my abilities. I chose to study engineering because I was interested in it, not because of any stereotypes. Similarly, I would encourage everyone, regardless of gender, to choose a field they are interested in and will find rewarding.
What advice would you give to others who may be considering taking on a new challenge?
The most important thing is to have a go – and your biggest asset is confidence. You need to convince yourself that you are the right person for the role…then you need to convince everyone else! This might be through study and career experience, volunteering for different opportunities at work, or even just changing your mindset. There may be outside activities which can help enhanced your skillset – for me, umpiring has helped with my confidence but has also taught me how to make mistakes and learn from them, which is something I use every day in my career.

Australia`s highest-hour EX5600-7 has reached another significant milestone.
After more than 38,000 operating hours, the machine has undergone its first swing bearing replacement. The major component change completed safely and successfully by two dedicated crews.
The project was delivered with zero safety incidents, reflecting the planning, expertise and commitment of everyone involved throughout the change-out.
This milestone also marks 10 years since HCA’s designed and developed Elevation System first entered operation, highlighting the long-term durability and performance that continue to support mining operations across Australia.
38,000 hours.
First swing bearing replacement.
Two crews.
Zero safety incidents.
A testament to the people, planning and equipment behind one of Australia`s hardest-working EX5600-7 excavators.
Stepping up its game. 👢
This Hitachi ZX85USB-7 delivered to Specialized Digging Services (SDS) (@gb_diggs) shows what precision on-site can look like when paired with an engcon rotating wrist and full attachment setup.
From heavy digging work through to fine control tasks (like picking up a boot), this machine has been configured to handle more with minimal changeover time and greater flexibility on site.
Less repositioning. Fewer support machines. Better overall efficiency where it matters most.
Because capability is not only about power. It is about control.
"Reliability means delivering for our customers, not letting them down and keeping the wheels turning."
That`s how Cameron Madeira, Operations Manager at ECORR, describes the role Hitachi equipment plays in their operation.
Processing thousands of tonnes of concrete every day, ECORR relies on a fleet of Hitachi excavators and wheel loaders to tackle one of Australia`s toughest working environments. From separating steel and concrete to keeping crushers fed and material moving, reliability isn`t optional—it`s essential.
We`re proud to support ECORR as they continue their mission to be leaders in the recycling industry.

Throwback to our 2025 Construction Equipment Sales Conference - where the team got hands-on with the machines they talk about every day. 👷♂️💥
From walkarounds to machine demos, it was a chance for our Construction Equipment Sales Representatives to get up close with the gear, share knowledge and sharpen their understanding of the products supporting customers across Australia.
Because selling equipment is one thing. Knowing it inside and out is another. 👊
Look after the big fella and the big fella looks after you.
This King`s Birthday, a reminder worth holding onto. The machines that lead your fleet for the longest are the ones backed by proper servicing, genuine parts, and a team that knows them down to the bolt.
Treat your equipment with that standard, and it rewards you with uptime, resale value, and years of reliable work.
What is the oldest Hitachi | LANDCROS machine still earning its keep on your site?
Drop its age below.
The name is changing.
The Japanese reliability operators count on is not.
From construction sites to quarries and mining operations, the machines trusted across Australia are stepping into a new era under the LANDCROS name.
Same proven performance.
Same dependable support.
Same commitment to getting the job done.

Big bloke.
Compact machine.
Still plenty of room to get comfortable.
George from Sydney walks through the ZX17U-5 and shows why compact does not mean cramped. With a spacious operator area, easy access and the performance to match, this machine is built to work hard in tight spaces.
Small footprint. Serious capability.
Meet the machine. 👊
Bryce Gibson from Revesby takes you through the Hitachi ZX55U-5 - the compact excavator built to punch above its weight.
From HN bushings that help reduce pin wear, to easy-access servicing and radiator protection designed for harsh Australian conditions, the ZX55U-5 is packed with features that help keep crews moving and downtime low.
Tight access. Smooth operation. Proven Hitachi reliability.
Watch the walkthrough and see why the ZX55U-5 continues to earn its place on worksites across Australia.
