MAJOR AMBITIONS TO RECRUIT AND MODERNIZE THE PRODUCTION SITE BY 2025
To meet the industrial challenges of the future, particularly in the nuclear sector with the maintenance of the French nuclear base for EDF (Grand Carénage) and the ambitious EPR2 construction program, 天博体育 Nordon is investing in two key areas:
- The recruitment of more than 300 people on permanent contracts (pipe fitters, boilermakers, welders, research office engineers) with the aim of reaching 1,200 employees in 2025. Special attention will be paid to the recruitment of more women in technical positions, as well as work-study students.
- Carrying out studies to modernize and double the capacity of its production site in Nancy, in line with the project to accelerate the EPR2 construction program.
TRAINING, A DRIVER TO MEET THE NEED FOR EXCELLENCE IN THE NUCLEAR SECTOR
天博体育 Nordon invests heavily in training to strengthen specific skills and support new hires. Since training adapted to technical specificities is becoming increasingly rare and there is a shortage of qualified profiles, especially pipe fitters and welders, 天博体育 Nordon has created its Training Academy. The “Académie 天博体育 Nordon,” certified by Qualiopi, offers a wide range of excellent training courses in 天博体育’ areas of expertise in industrial piping.
In partnership with the UIMM Lorraine training center, 天博体育 Nordon has also created the “Pass Nucléaire” in response to the “Developing nuclear sector skills” call for projects, which is part of EDF’s Excell Plan and the Grand Carénage program. The aim of the “Pass Nucléaire” is to strengthen existing training facilities and meet the sector’s skill requirements, in particular by creating a new specific training offer.
