Description
The insurance company Opteven, which specialises in the automotive and mobility sectors and is headquartered in Villeurbanne (69), has announced the opening of a new site in Le Puy-en-Velay (43) in June 2024, for which recruitment has been launched. The opening is expected to create around a hundred jobs within a year. All employees recruited will receive in-house training at the company's future site. Opteven covers 1.6 million vehicles across Europe, with operations in France, the UK, Italy, Spain and Germany. The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region is paying for the fitting-out of the premises, the fibre optic connection and the training of the new employees, who have been recruited with no previous experience.
