Description
The Bombardier plant in Crespin (Nord), which manufactures a new generation of train for the Parisian Region rail network (RER) has announced the recruitment of around 100 employees. To meet its deadlines, the plant will double a production line and hire around 100 more people to honour one of the contracts concluded with the Ile-de-France region.
Two years ago, Bombardier and Alstom signed the 'contract of the century' with the Ile-de-France Regional Council and SNCF; a contract worth €3.75 billion to jointly manufacture new generation RER trains (RER-NG) for the Ile-de-France network. The target is 255 trains in total, with the first deliveries due in 2021. At Bombardier, 350 out of 2,200 people are currently working on these new trains.

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.
