Who are we?
Invesis is synonymous with sustainable and successful infrastructure projects – from roads, railways, tunnels and bridges, to hospitals, schools and government buildings. We are a global investor and developer whose expertise extends to the future global needs of energy and digital infrastructure. But we are more than a source of knowledge, experience, finance and project management expertise. We are a blend of driving ambition and innovative thinking. As defined by our people. People who care deeply. As deeply as you do about building a sustainable future.
Your work environment

Our goal is to build on this success by investing in our people, encouraging and supporting engagement and positive mental health and physical well-being. Our ambition is to have employees who are ‘Flourishing at Work’; who are inspired by our purpose, able to use and develop their skills and strengths, and who can see the value they contribute 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 excellent communication with our stakeholders. There is certainly room for socialisation here, especially through our regular company events!
