  What are you responsible for at work?

  I am in charge of design work for the construction and improvement of train radio equipment used as a means of communication between dispatchers and drivers.
  We are trying to achieve high quality and high stability while considering the Radio Law and outwards radio wave interference. We contribute to the creation of railways that can be used with peace of mind so that we can promptly provide information to customers in the event of a disaster or an emergency.

  

• Question.02

  What is the most rewarding/interesting part of your current job?

  I am in charge of construction work for various lines in the JR East area, excluding the Tohoku area. So I have many opportunities to travel to different places.
  In order to provide better railway services, I work in collaboration with station employees to fulfill the needs of the place.
  In addition, although I am an engineer, I am often approached by customers at stations, and I am happy to hear directly from customers who use railways.

  

• Question.03

  Please tell us about the most memorable task you have done so far.

  The design work for Tokyo Station, which is called the best terminal station in Japan, was very challenging. New facilities are often installed at Tokyo Station.
  Therefore, it was a challenge for us to examine new equipments specifications and technology. Adjustments according to multiple discussions with people in charge of stations, maintenance and partner companies is done, and I remembered how moving it was for me when it was confirmed that the station equipments can be utilized.

  

• Question.04

  Please tell us about your dreams and visions for the future!

  I want to realize a work style that enriches both work and private life. There are still few female employees in the workplace, but the child-rearing system is also substantial. Male employees are increasingly taking advantage of childcare leave. I would like to promote a stress-free work style in order to realize the happiness of our employees and their families.

  

• Question.05

  Advice for job-hunting students!

  When I was in college, I studied civil engineering. I was interested in our disaster prevention information system and wanted to contribute to building a railway that is resistant to disasters. I started with almost zero knowledge about electricity, but thanks to the excellent training system and the follow-up from my superiors and seniors, I enjoy working every day. Please find a company where you can work "brightly", "fun" and "energetic" in the future.
