Join a fast-growing, listed company with a purpose! Fastned owns and operates a network of 400+ fast charging stations across Europe, allowing electric vehicle drivers to charge their car with 100% green energy.

Your role

As an Architect at Fastned, you contribute to the success of the company by delivering station designs with the best customer experience.

• Create full architectural drawing packages required for permit applications.

• When necessary, produce technical drawing packages for tender and construction.

• You have several years of experience with Revit. Experience with Enscape is a plus.
