At Akkodis, career journeys often take unexpected turns, and Niklas’s path is a powerful example. He began his career maintaining traditional trains, but it was this hands-on experience that ignited his passion for innovation and sustainability. Driven to create cleaner, smarter solutions, he transitioned into the field of electric mobility, where he now contributes to the development of next-generation electric vehicles (EVs) and the future of sustainable transportation.
From Trains to Electric Mobility: Building a Cleaner Future in Automotive Engineering
Many Akkodis team members come from unexpected career paths—and that’s what makes their journeys so inspiring. Take Niklas, for example.
He started his career working with “old, dirty, oily” trains, an experience that sparked his passion for building something cleaner and smarter. That curiosity led him into the world of electric mobility, where he now helps develop the next generation of electric vehicles (EVs).

From Prototype to Reliable Innovation: Engineering the Future of Electric Mobility
Coming up with a new idea is one thing. Making it work flawlessly in the real world is the real challenge. As Niklas says, "A prototype is quickly made-up but the functional system isn't. And that's exactly my job." This is where our team truly shines. We take brilliant concepts and engineer them for reliability.

Our approach is hands-on and forward-thinking. We don't just talk about what's next; we're in the lab and in the field, making it a reality.
"We don't just think innovation, we build it, plan it and try it out."
Start Your Journey, Grow Your Career
We believe in nurturing talent and providing a path for growth. Niklas's career here is a perfect example. He joined us to write his master's thesis and then stepped directly into a project manager role, translating his academic knowledge into tangible results.
