Joined in 2014 /
Osaka Sales Headquarters
Reason for Joining the Company
My first encounter with the company was during an internship I joined in the second year of my master's program. At the time, I had just begun job hunting and was exploring how I could apply my mechanical engineering studies to society, without having decided on a specific industry. During the internship, I learned that the company manufactures equipment that supports tunnels and underground structures—something that genuinely surprised me. As someone who had often wondered, even as a student, "How are subway tunnels actually built?" it felt as though the answer was right in front of me. I was deeply impressed by the scale and intensity of the worksite—an experience impossible to grasp through drawings or corporate brochures alone.
Although the company is not a large corporation, I was strongly drawn to its involvement in essential projects that underpin social infrastructure. I felt that this was a place where I could apply my skills and make a meaningful contribution to society, which ultimately led me to decide to join the company.
Current Responsibilities and Motivation
For the first five years, I worked in design at the Techno Center in Okayama, where I was responsible for mechanical design and program development. The speed at which the drawings I created were immediately transformed into actual equipment in the factory—and the direct feedback I received from the field—provided both tension and tremendous learning opportunities. There were times when I received strict criticism, but I believe those experiences greatly contributed to my growth.
Since 2018, I have been part of the Sales Division, where I oversee the Chinese market. My responsibilities range widely—from product sales and negotiations with local companies to market research—making every day a new challenge. Although frequently traveling between Japan and China can be demanding, hearing customers say, "We trust Japanese technology," or "We're glad we entrusted this to you," brings a deep sense of fulfillment. Knowing that my proposals play a role in supporting social infrastructure is a unique and meaningful reward of this work.
Team and Workplace Atmosphere
The Sales Division consists of only five members, but this small size allows for exceptionally smooth communication and information sharing. We naturally understand each other's workloads and step in to support one another during busy periods. This creates a strong sense of unity and a clear feeling that we are achieving results as a team—one of the division's greatest strengths. While discussions about work are always serious, there is plenty of friendly conversation in between, creating a consistently warm and comfortable atmosphere. It is an environment where asking for help feels easy, allowing us to focus on our tasks with confidence.
As for the company overall, it has a culture that is both open and flexible. When I returned from China with new market insights and proposed ideas such as "I'd like to try this approach," my supervisors and colleagues responded positively. It is a workplace where expressing your ambitions leads to real opportunities for challenge and growth.
My long-term goal is to establish a local subsidiary in China. By setting up a base in this high-demand market, we would be able to respond to customer needs more quickly and flexibly, further strengthening our relationships. A local subsidiary would also create opportunities for hiring and developing local talent. As the Chinese market continues to grow, promoting our company's technologies and expertise locally would be a socially meaningful initiative as well.
For my own development, I aim not only to build experience as a sales representative but also to take on the challenges of management and organizational development overseas. Through these efforts, I hope to help lead the company into a new stage of growth.
