Tesla

At Tesla, we pride ourselves on the amazing and important mission we have as a company, namely to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy. Delivering a first-class product means we need to get the best people to do the job and just get it done. As we are growing at ludicrous speed we have less resources than work, so you will have to push yourself. Therefore, the drive behind our growth are our people, because our goal is to be competitive and to be the best in all that we do.

The internship assignment

Building our Charging network is vital to our success, making driving electric vehicles more accessible to a wider audience. Our Charging Network is expanding across Europe and so is our team. As an intern, you will be a vital part of our wider Charging Infrastructure team in the South EU region that manages all aspects of Supercharger stations and now also of our Destination Charging program. Our internship is like no other, in that you will take on real responsibility from day one and there are really no limits to what you can achieve. We foster an environment in which anyone can take on projects and truly make a difference to our business success. But, you need to be the sort of person who can make things happen for yourself, you will not have your hand held within Tesla. So if this is you, then you are the person for us. We need self-starting interns, who can make their own way within some challenging and ever changing business environments.
