Serma is recruiting 140 employees in Paris, 80 in Toulouse, 80 in the Lyon region, 30 in Aix-en-Provence, 20 in Angers and Rennes and 50 in Bordeaux, and is mainly looking for engineers, technicians, project managers and experts. According to the Sud-Ouest newspaper, the group is experiencing a remarkable growth.

The Serma group has a turnover of €170 million in 2022 and employs some 1,300 people in France, Tunisia and the United States.
