Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
The civil engineering company Bouygues Travaux Publics has announced the recruitment of more than 350 people at Le Havre (Seine-Martime), on the construction site for the foundations of the future Fécamp offshore wind farm.
In connection with the manufacture of 71 wind turbines, the company is launching a recruitment campaign in collaboration with the public employment service, Pôle Emploi. 300 positions are for formworkers and 50 for scrap metal fitters. There are also a few vacancies for storekeepers, labourers, electro-mechanics, basket drivers and telescopic forklift drivers. Recruitment is carried out by simulation: handling exercises or table-top assignments will help to identify the skills of the candidates. Overall, around 30 test sessions are scheduled until December. Recruited candidates will then be trained and hired on '12-month contracts that can go up to 18'. The first recruits will start working at the beginning of January.
