How we work at EDRI

Sustainability is at the heart of what we do – our EDRI goal is to create a sustainable world by providing charging infrastructure for everyone, everywhere. We plan, install, and operate a network of public charging infrastructure that supplies all electric vehicles with 100% green electricity and contributes to the decarbonization of transport and mobility across Europe.

As an employer, we care about your well-being, as well as long-term learning opportunities and professional development, to maintain the maker mentality that we value so much in our team.

1. Love

We LOVE infrastructure and are passionate about what we do. The entire team is intrinsically motivated to achieve our goal of creating a sustainable world by making charging available to everyone, everywhere.

2. Trust

We TRUST our colleagues. Each individual is an expert in what he or she does. Our company's success is the sum of all the valuable contributions of each individual. We cannot and do not want to miss a single team member. That is why we promote a working environment of trust and belonging in which team spirit is the greatest asset.

3. Do

We pursue a doer:in mentality in everything we do, because we want to move forward quickly and get things done. That's why our hierarchies are flat, decisions are made quickly and each individual is fully responsible and authorized to act in his/her area of expertise.
