Architect

Join a fast-growing B Corp where your work directly contributes to combating climate change. At Fastned, you’ll help accelerate the transition to electric mobility. We’re over 400 colleagues (from 45+ nationalities) across nine countries, working together to make it easy for electric drivers to charge up with 100% renewable energy from the sun and wind – fast and hassle-free. We were recently voted the best charging network in the UK, France, Switzerland and the Netherlands – a testament to our mission to offer the best, most welcoming charging experience out there! You will join a team of like-minded architects on a mission to build 1000 iconic stations with the best imaginable customer journey.

Your role

As an Architect in our Dutch team, you contribute to the success of the company by delivering station designs with the best customer experience. You will integrate our modular Fastned stations and shops into high-traffic service areas: from the initial sketch and site feasibility to obtaining a building permit. Your role as an Architect is crucial to our multidisciplinary team to envision the full potential of a site. In your day-to-day job, you will focus on our expansion in the Netherlands.
