The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
Enedis is launching a major recruitment campaign for 2025, with 3,380 vacancies to be filled throughout France, including 2,000 permanent positions and 1,380 work-study positions.
The public electricity distribution network operator, which now has 41,000 employees, is mainly looking for electrical engineers (35%), electrical project managers (25%), electrical technicians (15%) and network and IT engineers (25%). Recruitment is particularly concentrated in the Île-de-France, Pays de la Loire, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, PACA and Hauts-de-France regions. The company invests significantly in training (7% of its payroll) and stands out for its inclusive social policy, ranking 4th among the energy sector companies with the highest employee ratings. Nonetheless, Enedis is having difficult to hire and the recruitment campaigns is an effort to attract more employees to the industrial sector.
