Working Student – Location Intelligence (m/f/d)

Join a fast-growing, listed company with a purpose. At Fastned you will actively contribute to combating climate change by accelerating the transition to sustainable mobility. Fastned owns and operates a network of over 300 large fast charging stations across Europe, allowing electric vehicle drivers to charge their car with 100% green energy in just 15 minutes. Our goal is to establish a European network of 1,000 fast-charging stations in prime locations, where all electric vehicles can charge using renewable energy from the sun and wind. To get there, we need sharp analytical minds to help us identify and evaluate the best locations across Europe, that's where you come in.

As a Location Intelligence Working Student, you will support Fastned's Network Development team in identifying, researching, and evaluating potential sites for new fast-charging stations. You will work with real data to help shape where Europe charges next. You'll be working in a fast-growing European company listed on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange, where people roll up their sleeves and seize opportunities wherever they come. You will work closely with our teams in other European locations and have the unique opportunity to learn all about this exciting industry where you will have an impact on shaping the mobility of the future.

This is a hands-on role based at our Vienna office, where you will become part of a diverse and driven team. As a member of Fastned we want you to 'think like a founder'. We value your input, we expect you to think critically and take ownership.
