We are now looking for a summer trainee to join the Kempower RDI team for approximately 3-4 months between May-September 2024. The exact start and duration of the summer internship period will be agreed separately depending on the assignment.

Whether it’s our perspective, the way we work together or our impact on the climate – we make it positive. We help each other and make our voices heard, regardless of our job title or title. We come from more than 30 nationalities around the world.

The EV market is constantly evolving, and so are we. And we are constantly looking for learners, creators and problem solvers from a wide range of backgrounds.
