Skills and training
The number and diversity of skills represented within the AEROLIA group form a unique set of competencies by their specificities and differences, and also by their perfect complementarities.

The amount of talents and know-how that must be associated and mobilised to design and produce aerostructures is totally representative of Aerolia's continuous need in terms of training and recruitment. To these career opportunities can also be added possibilities of professional mobility thanks to the four group sites, in France and abroad.
Each Aerolia site, an incredible pool of skills, participates locally and actively in the professional training of young people. They have all created privileged links with local training schools and some have even created training options integrated in private apprenticeship centres to prepare for the group's specific skills.

At Méaulte, for example, the Henry Potez professional school, under a partnership agreement with the French National Education, provides on-site training of students in aeronautical trades (trade diplomas for aircraft airframe mechanics and sheet-metal workers, professional leaving certificate for aerostructures technicians) to recruit and maintain a high-quality work force.
Design

Upstream, the design phase requires engineers and technicians to perform the following activities:

  1. Design Job description: Fatigue and stress analysis, damage tolerance, composites analysis, strength of materials, finite element modelling, rapid dynamic calculation.
  2. Materials and processes  Job description: New aerostructures technologies (R&D), technology watch, launch of new projects, structural tests.
  3. Production support Job description: Series and development support, production engineering (MAP) at the production site.
  4. Modelling Job description: Configuration management, digital mock-up (DMU), tolerancing and creation of complex shapes (Lofting).
  5. Methods Job description: Patent engineering, intellectual property management, optimised design tools and processes.

  • Qualities required:
  • » Pragmatism, logic, precision, discipline.
  • » Creativity.
  • » Relational skills (listening to the customer) and team spirit.
  • » Awareness of passenger safety requirements.
Production

For the needs of its production units, Aerolia bases its recruitment in the following skills:

  1. Airframe assembler Job description: Install, assemble and adjust airframe structures using a technical file and primary parts Work with automated assistance on aircraft structures assembly lines or do manual work in small assembly units.
  2. Machine or robot operator Job description: Set, adjust and operate NC machines, robots or programmable controllers using a technical file for series production of metallic or composite material parts.
  3. Fitter and sheet metal worker Job description: Produce complex aeronautical primary parts, either using press forming tools or specific drawing and shrinking machines, or manually Work with noble metals, performed with quality, precision, care and in compliance with the standards in force in the aeronautical sector to ensure maximum user safety.
  4. Aerostructures technician Job description: Assemble, repair or modify metal and composite aircraft structures. Complex structural modification and assembly operations on metallic and/or composite materials.
  5. Painter Job description: Protect aeronautical primary parts by coating with the appropriate paint. Perform final marking of parts and ensure product traceability.

  • Qualities required
  • » Dexterity, care and precision, discipline, ability to follow instructions, meticulousness, flexibility.
  • » Ability to read drawings and schematics and strictly follow technical instructions.
  • » Awareness of safety of persons and goods, capacity to admit errors, autonomy, good team worker.
