Parts Manager – Muswellbrook
something different and a good challenge
What encouraged you to join Hitachi?
I was working casually as a primary school teacher but interested in seeking more permanent employment. The role of Service Administrator at Hitachi came along, which I thought it would be something different and a good challenge.
Was your first role a good starting point towards more opportunities?
Definitely, especially having previously worked in the industry or an office environment. I was able to develop my knowledge of the company and the industries in which it operates. I was grateful to work with some of our most experienced service employees and learn different areas of the department and how it fits into the big picture. After building some experience in the Service Team, I then took on another job opportunity in the Administration Department which gave me further insight into the day to day operations of the branch. During this time I was able to network with Admin Managers all over Australia and build working relationships with many of the Corporate Support Team. My latest promotion to Parts Manager has been another unexpected but welcomed change and challenge. I have the support, not only of my department and management group, but I have been able to connect with a whole new group of people within the business, Australia-wide.
How would you describe your career experience at Hitachi?
I never really knew how it was going to go when I first started. But I absolutely love working for Hitachi Construction Machinery, and am grateful for the opportunities that have come my way over the past eleven years. I have never once wished that I had stayed teaching. The journey is still continuing. I have seen many changes in the business and have been able to grow personally and professionally within a company that values its employees and their contributions.
Do you feel confident in your future at Hitachi?
I never imagined that I would have progressed this far. However, I am grateful for the opportunities which I have been given. I am confident in saying that the company is supportive of anyone that wants to develop professionally and expand their skills. Also, my family are a very big part of who I am and the reason I can do what I do. Being a full-time working mum is a big job, but having a husband who also works at Hitachi allows us to be a good family team with a supportive employer behind us.

Earth Design Landscapes and Reggie the staffy have just taken delivery of their new Hitachi ZX33U-5 mini excavator, and it’s already hard at work at a state-of-the-art eco-friendly coastal development in Cape Patterson.
Specialising in outdoor living, stonemasonry, and urban permaculture, Earth Design Landscapes brings gardens to life for every style of living. And as for Reggie? She’s been putting the mini excavator to the test with some expert digging of her own—and she gives it his bark of approval! 🐕💪

Supporting Paediatric Healthcare in the Hunter Region
We’re thrilled to share that, through our partnership with the Humpty Dumpty Foundation, Hitachi recently made a donation to Muswellbrook Hospital’s Maternity Unit. A few of our team members, including Aaron, Seamus and Tynan, visited the hospital for the handover of a Jaundice Detector and learned about the important impact this piece of equipment will have on the local community.
The Maternity Unit team, guided by Lisa Buckley, explained how vital this new jaundice detector is. While births in the area are now planned at larger hospitals in Maitland and Newcastle, local mothers often have babies born slightly early to avoid travel risks. These babies have a higher chance of developing jaundice, so having a detector on-site ensures quick and effective monitoring right at Muswellbrook.
Lisa expressed deep gratitude for the donation, as equipment funding is a challenge, and the Humpty Dumpty Foundation is a crucial lifeline for these resources. This new equipment will be instrumental not only in the hospital but also for providing care in the community for families who can’t make regular hospital visits.
Together, we’re making a difference in the health and well-being of families in the Upper Hunter Valley.
🌟 Community Engagement at School Immersion Day! 🌟
Hitachi Construction Machinery Australia was proud to be a key supporter of the recent School Immersion Day, hosted on October 23, 2024. This event, with over 160 students from nine Yorke Peninsula schools, provided an exciting platform for local students to explore potential careers in the industry.
Our team brought along the Hitachi Dump Truck Simulator and a ZX85-7 Excavator to give students a hands-on experience of working with industry-leading machinery. The students were thrilled to engage with these demonstrations, sparking curiosity and interest in the vast opportunities the construction and mining industries have to offer!
A huge thank you to Rex Minerals and the Hillside team for organizing such a fantastic event, and to all our partners who helped make this day memorable.
We look forward to seeing where these young talents might lead the future of our industry! 👷♂️👷♀️
