Thus, we prefer to present our activities, production factories and specialised laboratories through exchanges and meetings with our teams, visits to work sites and discovery of our production sites. The work-experience courses are an excellent opportunity to make yourself known while discovering our business sector and our values.

Partners of EIVP and ESIGELEC, we also have privileged links with the partner schools of the Colas Group.

Testimonies

A closer look at a site manager’s role

According to Thierry, the role of a site manager is to: “take charge of monitoring the site. To simplify, before obtaining a site, it is my duty to go to the site that we hope to win! I’ll examine it and gather information, see what materials and labour are required, which will allow the works supervisor to prepare a quote. Once the sites are obtained, I’ll organise the labour and machinery schedules so that the site can be developed under optimal conditions. During construction, I am the link between the clients and the teams, I deal with any problems, I check that everything is in order, that site progress can continue under optimal conditions and that the client is happy.

Another site manager, Guy, says what he enjoys in his job is: “communicating, passing on my knowledge, managing and learning!”

Sébastien, site manager, says that in his role he enjoys: “working outdoors, constantly changing location, getting to know the country in a way by working in different French départements. It’s kind of like travelling, but still working of course!”

According to Bérangère, “teamwork and working on projects that everyone will enjoy and that we are proud of taking part in” are the main reasons why she decided to follow this career path. She believes that the main qualities required for this job are “knowing how to manage a team, being thorough and organised and being able to work equally as effectively in hot and cold weather.”

A closer look at a machine and vehicle fleet manager’s role

Guillaume describes his job as “being in charge of maintenance schedules in collaboration with the workshop supervisors and checking the validity of regulatory inspections (technical inspections, vehicle repair).” 

A closer look at a production manager’s role

For Audrey, working in production “means that you can see projects and contracts taking shape. This involves teamwork, with all skilled factory work groups and various existing support services (sales, R&D, purchasing, BE post-conception etc.) The main qualities needed to do this job are responsiveness and adaptability!”

The main tasks involved in this role according to Frédéric are “overseeing that production runs smoothly while keeping to budgets, deadlines and ensuring the quality of the goods manufactured.” I spend a lot of my time working on the technical side of production and managing the production teams.”

A closer look at a works supervisor’s role

For Cédric, “the works supervisor is the cornerstone of the company: in one regard they make the clients wishes a reality, and in another, they ensure the economic value of our colleagues on-site.”

According to Pierre, “the works supervisor is the front person on-site, they guarantee the quality of the work carried out, team leadership, and ensure that safety, deadline and cost rules are followed. Listening, communication and interactive skills with clients (public and private), sales ability, a sense of respect and a taste for a challenge are essential qualities in order to fulfil their duties.”

Laura says that what motivated her to do this job was “getting to see and manage the development of a site. Combined with working on something concrete. I also like going into sites to talk with my teams about what is going well and what needs to be improved. However, this adds more responsibility and pressure, but it’s a part of the job and I like that too.”

Partnerships

In November 2014, Aximum signed an agreement with Agefiph, which is supporting us in our intention to develop the rate of employment of disabled employees.

Aximum is also a member of Tremplin, an association sponsoring disabled students, and Passerelle 93, an association which intermediates between companies and students in the region of Seine-Saint-Denis.

In the field of integration into employment, Aximum is continuing its commitment to apprenticeship. We are also strengthening our partnerships with local players (temporary work companies in the field of employment integration, GEIQ) and local authorities, particularly through the implementation of "integration into employment" clauses in public contracts.
