What is trawa?
The energy sector is undergoing a major transformation. Traditional utilities are outdated, inflexible, and struggle to meet the demands of the modern economy – even though they are indispensable for millions of businesses.
This is a market with enormous potential, but the existing solutions are complicated, inefficient, and in desperate need of overhaul.
trawa is changing that. We are building the green utility of the future from the ground up. Our platform provides direct access to renewable energy for B2B industrial companies, develops innovative software to manage the volatility of the energy market, and professionalizes energy procurement on the buyer's side.
trawa is the energy provider of the future: a vibrant, breathing platform that evolves with the growth of our customers and helps them manage their energy supply sustainably – from small and medium-sized enterprises to global players and beyond.
What does it mean to work at trawa?
The trawa team is based in Berlin and works together on our mission to advance the energy transition. We trust that each team member delivers high-quality work in an environment that suits them best – whether in our beautiful Berlin office or from home.
At trawa, we are looking for people who take responsibility for their role, learn quickly, are endlessly curious, and find fulfillment in consistently delivering excellent results that drive the company forward.
We enjoy working with people who are passionate about what they do and will do everything to successfully implement projects that have a real impact – on our products, our customers, and the environment. In our team, kindness is a priority.
Through our joint commitment to a sustainable future, we have created a culture of mutual respect. This allows us to discuss ideas openly, work independently, and attract top talent that shares our vision. Our headquarters is located in Berlin, where we foster a vibrant corporate culture.
