Transition mission in the industrial sector
In the industrial sector , transition missions are frequent. The creation of new products or their manufacture often requires specific skills. Sometimes, these are strategic projects that require the presence of an experienced manager : site closure, crisis or change management, merger-acquisition, international development or economy of scale are missions that we entrust to a seasoned manager who will have a fresh look at the file.
The importance of the industrial sector
The industrial sector is a very dense market. It brings together the sectors of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food, metallurgy, electronics, machinery production, textiles, wood, paper, printing, toys, furniture or jewelry, without forgetting, of course, the production of energy with electrical or hydraulic power stations. Without industry, no light, medicine, clothing, transport or, even worse, no more smartphones! With a contribution of 12.4% of the national GDP, the industrial sector is one of the main drivers of the French economy.
The diversity of jobs in the industrial sector
The scope of the industry’s fields of action implies a great diversity of professions . In 2014, more than 3 million people worked in the French industrial sector. From the R&D departments to the Customers’ warehouses, there are a large number of engineers, designers, technicians or buyers. In offices, accountants, financiers, logisticians or human resources departments complete this vast panorama. Beyond its productive diversity, this market is also distinguished by the variety of its structures. Micro-enterprises and SMEs employ nearly 37% of employees in the sector. Slightly more than medium-sized companies (35%) or large companies (28%).
Human skills at the heart of industrial life
Always on the move, the industrial sector needs many skills. Some of these needs require very high managerial skills in a specific area, but only for a few months. This may involve the replacement at short notice of an executive absent for health reasons or who has resigned, the change management in the organization, the financial balance of a site, a merger-acquisition, the acquisition of a competitor, the closing of a factory, the opening of a new site, the setting up of a job saving plan (PSE), the development of a new product line, etc.
