Transform 800,000 hectares of greenhouses into fully-autonomous food production sites
At eternal.ag, we're building the future of sustainable food production. Backed by leading venture investors, our mission is to convert the world’s existing greenhouses into fully automated facilities that can produce fresh food year-round—helping address the need to increase food production while facing severe labor shortages, water scarcity, and climate challenges.
The role
We’re looking for a reliable, professional, and discreet Company Driver to join the eternal.ag team on a full-time permanent basis. Based in our Cologne office, you will be the dedicated transport link between our Cologne HQ and our greenhouse sites in the Netherlands, delivering team members safely and on schedule.
You’ll work closely with the Executive Assistant and CEO office, coordinating routes in advance, managing the company vehicle, and ensuring everyone gets where they need to be comfortably and on time.
This is not a passive role. You’ll be a trusted part of our operations, interacting daily with senior leadership and external partners, and representing eternal.ag every time you’re behind the wheel.
What you'll do
- Transport team members between our Cologne office and greenhouse sites in the Netherlands
- Run operational errands — document and equipment couriering, supply collection, and inter-site logistics
- Coordinate daily schedules and routes in advance
- Maintain the company vehicle to a consistently high standard — cleanliness, fuelling, and regular maintenance checks
- Track vehicle service intervals and flag any issues promptly
- Remain available for occasional overnight stays near site locations when operational requirements arise
- Maintain strict confidentiality regarding all business conversations and passenger information at all times
- Comply with all applicable EU and national road traffic and driving time regulations
Note on overnight travel: This role occasionally requires overnight stays near our Netherlands greenhouse sites, particularly when multiple site visits are scheduled in a single trip. Accommodation is always arranged and fully covered by eternal.ag. The frequency is modest and will be planned well in advance wherever possible
What we're looking for
● Required
- Valid EU Category B (regular) driving license, held for a minimum of 3 years - A clean or near-clean driving record is essential (max. 3 points, Flensburg)
- Legal residency in Germany with valid work authorization - Must be registered (gemeldet) within approximately 45 minutes of Cologne city center
- Unrestricted Schengen Area travel rights - Role involves regular cross-border travel into the Netherlands — this must be verified before start date
- English language proficiency — minimum B1 level (CEFR) - English is our working language; you must be able to receive instructions, communicate with team members, and interact professionally with guests in English
- Willingness to travel regularly and remain overnight near site locations when required
- Ability to pass a criminal background check (Führungszeugnis) prior to start
● Advantageous (not required)
- German and/or Dutch language skills - Not required, but welcome — particularly useful for navigating local logistics
- Previous experience as a professional, executive, or chauffeur driver
- Experience driving larger MPV or people-carrier vehicles (e.g. VW Touran, Renault Scenic)
- First aid certificate (Erste Hilfe / EHBO)
- Defensive driving course or advanced driver training certificate
- Experience with electric or hybrid vehicles
What we offer
- Permanent full-time contract (Unbefristeter Arbeitsvertrag) — 40 hours per week
- Competitive salary benchmarked to the NRW market for this level of responsibility
- Modern company vehicle provided and maintained by eternal.ag
- All overnight accommodation arranged and covered by the company
- Per-diem travel allowances (Verpflegungsmehraufwand) in line with German Reisekostenrecht
- Full German social insurance contributions (Kranken-, Renten-, Arbeitslosen- und Pflegeversicherung)
- English-language, international team with an inclusive and welcoming culture
How to apply
Send your CV and a short note in English (a few sentences is fine) telling us about your driving experience and why this role is a good fit for you. Applications from people of all backgrounds, nationalities, and immigration statuses are warmly welcomed — what matters to us is that you are legally authorised to work in Germany and can fulfil the requirements of the role.
