Description

The aircraft supplier group "Weare Aerospace", that results of the merger of four family-owned SMEs in 2015, has announced the recruitment of 100 employees for its sites located in the region Occitanie (resulting of the merger of the two regions Languedoc-Roussillon and Midi Pyrénées in 2016).  The five industrial companies joined forces to build a solid industrial group with international ambitions.

The company is looking industrial software technicians, production workers and project managers. Two thirds of the new positions are for apprentices and one third for workers who followed a training programme on additive manufacturing. The training programme has been set up by the company since there are no coursesavailable yet about this technologie.  

Weare Aerospace reached a turnover of €110 million in 2016. The management expects new acquisitions with the aim to reach a turnover of €300 million by 2021 with 1,800 to 1,900 employees.
