Personal meetings and exchange strengthen our project work and cohesion, but mobile working has also proven its worth. We generally offer a mix of presential work and mobile work from home, from abroad or in one of our decentralised office hubs. 

We focus on transparency, fairness, and openness: our Development teams are in constant, trustful exchange with communities, landowners and authorities. They also inform residents about the progress of our projects. 

Regular company and team outings as well as free language courses strengthen the friendly atmosphere. By signing up for the “Egym Wellpass” program, employees of our German parent company can use fitness and yoga studios, swimming pools, climbing gyms and much more at low cost. 

Our construction and project managers are regularly on site at the locations of our renewable energy projects.

Every three years, the entire ABO Energy workforce from 16 countries comes together for the "Global Meeting", where, in addition to training courses, top-class guest lectures and networking, celebrating and fun are also on the agenda.

Our colleagues also show their best side on the dance floor. Our Christmas parties or the parties at the Global Meeting are legendary. Many colleagues also get together in their free time - for example, for rock climbing, playing football or card games.

Mutual respect and trust characterise the work at ABO Energy. The friendly company spirit can be felt in the corridors and in the common rooms, where many meet at lunchtime to cook and eat together.

Working at ABO Energy is characterised by adequate pay, friendly cooperation, opportunities for continuous training, freedom for professional development and working hours that allow for a fulfilling family life. Training courses on a wide range of topics are held regularly. Internal and external speakers shed light on current developments and special topics.

At ABO Energy, people with diverse cultural backgrounds, skills and world views work together. The diversity of our employees and the good relationships with our partners, suppliers and other institutions are fundamental to our success. We see the diversity of our workforce as a real strength and enrichment - and celebrate it together, as here at the country fair during the Global Meeting 2022.

Working at ABO Energy

Our employees are enthusiastic about renewable energies. Contributing to climate protection and the development of a sustainable energy supply is a big motivator to us. We put great value on a friendly and open work culture, where each one of us is committed to the success of our projects. Personal responsibility and accountability are more important to us than status symbols.

Committed Employees and Flexible Processes

Committed Employees and Flexible Processes

Our colleagues not only feel responsible for their own tasks, but also keep the company’s wellbeing in mind. This entrepreneurial mindset means that we are constantly improving our work processes – regardless of responsibilities – and adapting them to changing requirements.

Interdisciplinary Work

Central work is carried out in interdisciplinary project groups in which planners, business experts, electrical and civil engineers jointly consider how best to implement our wind, storage, and solar projects. The work is not defined by hierarchies, but by competencies and the common will to successfully contribute to the clean energy transition.
