Description
The management of Safran Helicopter Engines, a subsidiary of the Safran group specialised in the manufacture and maintenance of helicopter engines, has announced the hiring of 400 employees on permanent contracts for its sites in Tarnos and Bordes in south-west France. In addition to the 400 permanent contracts, Safran Helicopter Engines offers 300 internships and 150 work-study contracts of more than 9 months. This means 550 new hires for the two sites in the South-West.
Of the total 400 new permanent jobs, 280 will be at the subsidiary's headquarters in Bordes which currently has 2,500 employees, and about 120 at the Tarnos site, which is specialised in engine maintenance and repair and currently has 1,500 employees. The recruitments concern several fields: data, engineering, support. On the total of 400 positions, the company intends to recruit around a hundred employees for production, notably milling turners. To attract talent, the HR department emphasises the investments made in terms of working conditions (well-ventilated factory, new and quieter machines, ergonomic analysis of workstations, etc.) and the level of wages (€30,000 gross per year for an entry-level machinist).
A former recruitment announcement has been recorded in the ERM database, with 300 job creations in 2021 (Safran-Helicopter-Engine-2021 - FR).

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
