Context :
In 2024, the Industrial Solutions & Projects Business Group will separate from the Nexans Group to become an independent company.
Our future company, which will become a reality at the end of 2024, boasts double-digit growth, prospects for expansion in sectors at the heart of the energy and industrial transition, with an international presence close to our customers.
We manufacture and design cables and complex solutions for our industrial customers. With a balanced presence between Western Europe and Asia, and recent investments in Poland and the United States, our human-scale company is a local player with a global reach.
Over the course of this year, we will be working together to define our identity, values and working methods in line with our culture, our size and our ambitions, while building on our century-old industrial culture, the solidity of our technical skills and our proximity to our customers. Speed, responsiveness, simplicity and pragmatism will be at the heart of our approach.
As part of our separation, we need to set up our own support teams for the central functions: Finance, Human Resources, Information Systems, Purchasing and Legal. More than 50 positions are being created to form new, autonomous teams.
Given the innovative nature of our approach, and our desire to completely redefine our support needs and imperatives, each of these new positions offers a unique opportunity to have a direct and visible impact on the future of our company
