Your working environment
At Invesis, we are very proud of our people and our company culture. Together, we have built a successful company that continues to grow. Our goal is to build on this success by investing in our employees to promote and support their engagement and mental health, as well as their physical well-being.
Our goal is to have employees who feel comfortable at work, who are inspired by our purpose, who can use and develop their skills and strengths, and who recognise the value they bring to the company.
There are short lines of communication both within the team and with other departments within Invesis and our external stakeholders. We always strive for high quality and good communication with our stakeholders.
Who are we?
Invesis develops sustainable and successful infrastructure projects – from roads, railways, tunnels and bridges to hospitals, schools, affordable housing and public buildings.
With a European base, we are now a global investor with a growing footprint and portfolio in Australia – one of our key target markets for growth. We also see New Zealand as an opportunity to compliment our early success in Australia. Alongside our core business of PPPs we are now diversifying our portfolio in social/affordable housing and in energy transition.
Invesis stands for more than knowledge, experience and competence. We are driven by our high standards and innovative thinking.
The foundation of everything is our team. People who put their heart and soul into shaping a sustainable future – and who care just as much about shaping a sustainable future as they do about our customers and partners.
Together, we have set ourselves the goal of climate neutrality. At the same time, we never lose sight of the big picture: to change society positively through infrastructure.
Infrastructure that not only meets the changing challenges of society, but also adapts to them – and thus sustainably improves the lives of future generations. We don’t just take this responsibility seriously – we take it personally. That’s why we always stand side by side with our customers and partners in our projects.
Invesis stands for success.
All our long-term relationships start with the same goal: to create a sustainable future. This clear objective and joint success keep us together as a team, even during many years of project duration.
