Job Description

You don’t just want to lead. You want to make a difference – and inspire others in the process.

At the Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg, vehicles are being built that drive the transition to sustainable energy. As a Maintenance Supervisor, you are responsible for ensuring that our production facilities run reliably – and that the team behind you can give their best every day.
