Where you’ll work
Most projects require working onsite at client locations throughout Germany (and occasionally Europe) for several days per week.
While our main office is located in Heidelberg, many of our team members are based across various cities in Germany. This reflects our flexible and distributed team structure and means that relocation is not a requirement.
When not working onsite with clients, you're warmly welcome to work from our Heidelberg office or from home.
In their own words
“What excites me about Rewire is that I can help to shape its direction and development – simply by following my passion. For me, that passion lies in climate and energy technology.

What I especially value is having a team by my side with which I can bring concrete and impactful solutions to life.” – Toni Baldauf, Principal at Rewire
