NOW as an employer
As a federal company, our goal is climate-friendly mobility for all – become part of us and find your job at NOW.
The goal of our work is to help shape a climate-neutral society. The climate targets set by the Federal Government serve as our guiding framework. As a federally owned company, we carry out mandates on behalf of Federal Ministries. These typically involve the implementation and coordination of funding programmes. Beyond this, as a team of more than 200 people, we also accompany strategic stakeholder processes, help shape international cooperation and work to strengthen societal acceptance of climate-neutral technologies for mobility and energy systems.
