Sure! We can say that quite clearly. RWE is one of the so-called "systemically important companies". We make sure that the energy supply in the U.S. and other countries is secure. Because we all need electricity - children and adults alike, small and large companies. Where there is electricity, there is light, heat and communication, there is production, medical care and mobility. Electricity is life.
The respective work location is always stated in the job description. For some positions, you can choose where you want to work. This is especially the case for positions where the teams work at different (often international) locations.
You can take a look into some of our U.S. offices here.
Yes. RWE embraces a hybrid work model, with most teams spending about three days in the office and two days working remotely. This balance helps us stay connected and collaborative while giving employees the flexibility to manage work and life in a way that works best for them.
At this time, RWE is unable to offer visa sponsorship or employment authorization support. Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for current or future sponsorship.
