”My role has a real impact,” says Eduard Naranjo Cardoso, a service engineer at Kempower in Spain. “I am working with real situations that require real solutions. I am happy that my work positively impacts the day-to-day life of people.”
At Kempower, the Finland-based electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions provider, a key function of Eduard’s role is to represent the company as a technical consultant, educating customers on product functions and capabilities, and ensuring the charging solutions provided are always up and running. The real-world impact of his work plus the company’s mission to accelerate the EV evolution is something he feels aligns with his values.
So how does Eduard feel Kempower supports him in making an impact? He lists 4 ways in which working here is an experience unlike any other.
1. Accelerating the EV evolution
As the world scrambles to adopt more sustainable solutions in different aspects of human life, EVs have come to play a huge role in the process. Working with Kempower allows Eduard to be a part of the EV evolution, helping build and operate the infrastructure needed to enable their safe, secure and reliable use.
”I get to contribute to the decarbonization of the world,” he says. ”I am the father of two daughters, and I want to make the world a better place for them. By working with Kempower, hopefully, I help build a better future for my children, day by day.”
The fast-evolving EV landscape is another exciting element for Eduard who believes being at Kempower places him at the forefront of cutting-edge tech in the E-mobility field.
2. Tackling real-world problems
Holding a master’s degree in industrial and electrical engineering, Eduard has gained extensive experience working in the renewable energy and e-mobility fields in Europe. During his career, he has been a project manager, supervised teams, and worked for all types of entities from large government utilities to smaller renewable energy companies. At Kempower, he gets to apply his engineering skills to various problems and devise practical solutions for them.
”We often encounter cases where customers face communication problems with the electrical parameters of their site. They might lack the knowledge to solve these issues, so we step in, analyze the variables, and provide solutions,” says Eduard. ”This not only helps the customers but also enhances our own skills as we adapt to new software or hardware developments in the E-mobility space.”

At Kempower, Eduard says he gets the space to develop this knowledge and establish new work processes that take advantage of his expertise.
”The company is very open to receiving new suggestions and ideas from its employees,” he says. ”We are encouraged to bring forward our knowledge and share our experiences. Because of this, it is very easy to establish new processes and standardize ways of working, making Kempower an agile organization. And that is important considering the new advancements we see in the industry.”
4. Working in an environment that is incredibly supportive
”The people I work with are very supportive and helpful,” says Eduard who credits Kempower for creating a strong and thriving working environment that focuses on getting things done.
”In our industry, you need to be flexible, adaptive and quick to respond to clients’ needs and questions. The strong relationships across all functions and locations create an incredibly supportive environment. If I or any of my colleagues are held up by a problem or question, we can speedily come together, brainstorm and find a solution.”
This emphasis on teamwork and communication is a cornerstone of Eduard’s experience at Kempower, with the collaborative spirit ensuring that everyone is aligned and working towards a common goal.
