Description
The director of the Airbus plant in Saint-Nazaire (Loire-Atlantique) has announced the recruitment of 400 permanent employees and 300 temporary workers (without specifying the length of the assignments) to cope with the increased production rate of the three Airbus A320, A330 and A350 construction programmes. The aerospace group plans to recruit in 2024 at its three plants in the Loire-Atlantique region (Saint-Nazaire, Montoir-de-Bretagne and Nantes). Anticipating recruitment difficulties, the director is inviting "people undergoing retraining to come and knock" on Airbus' doors, as well as women, who currently make up 15% of the workforce. According to the director, this percentage is constantly rising, in line with the Group's "determination". By 2023, one recruitment in five will lead to the hiring of a female employee.
