France is hosting the Olympic games in 2024 and the infrastructure network is seeing huge developments, with the biggest urban project in Europe - the “Grand Paris Express” project - already underway. This enormous scope includes 200km of automatic metro lines, 68 new stations and 7 Technical Centers, and is creating ample job opportunities in-country. With its proximity to the North Sea and Atlantic oceans, France is also seeing a rise in offshore wind projects – these projects enable optimal production for the country to meet market supply and demand all year round, with current projects predicted to produce 10,000 MW, and 500 windmills installed annually.

All of this means that there are plenty of exciting job opportunities for skilled engineers and technical personnel, and NES Fircroft should be your first port of call when looking for a job in France! Check-out our latest job opportunities below.
