Careers
The professions
There are 4 business lines within AX Group:
Engineering
Here we find all the professions that answer the question “What do I manufacture ?
At AX they are design engineers or technicians, R&D engineers, project managers, buyers, CAD draughtsmen, electrical technicians, automation engineers, etc.
Ecodesign, product innovation, design to cost, design to weight, solid mechanics and material resistance calculations, fluid mechanics and pressure loss calculations, simulation, prototyping and testing…
The range of possibilities is limitless when it comes to defining the most advanced technical offering in response to a market problem.
Methods, industrialisation and production professions
The other essential question we answer here is “How do I make it?
Our mechanical, hydraulic and electrical engineering technicians work on manufacturing plans, operating procedures, production bills of materials and quality management during the industrialisation phase, followed by assembly, welding, electrical wiring and testing during the production phase.
The marketing and sales professions
After defining the product in engineering and manufacturing it in production, we now need to find a market for it and build a business model so that we can offer it to our customers.
In fact, this is where we most often start, and it’s the sales people who do it.
They are technical sales people, sales engineers, business developers or business unit managers. They carry out market research, organise trade shows, canvass by telephone and via social networks.
They listen to the needs of our customers to provide them with the right technical and economic offer
The support professions
To ensure the success of our projects, we need a solid back office to ensure that each business has the right human and financial resources at the right time. This includes Human Resources, in charge of recruitment, payroll, training and career management, and finance and accounting.

Training and career development
At AX Group, we believe that a company’s progress depends on its ability to see its employees progress and evolve. In fact, we are in the habit of saying that team-mates evolve and grow at the same time as the company.
By way of example, several project managers arrived as trainees, then were taken on as design engineers and progressed to project manager positions.
For us, personal development also involves developing the versatility of each individual, which we monitor using our multi-skilling matrices, with great success for the production and engineering professions.Our ambitious training course allows each employee, whatever their experience, status or initial skills base, the opportunity to develop technical, human and managerial skills. Thus, our training courses provide essential resources and methods of transmitting technical knowledge and management skills, particularly when our employees take on the role of mentors for our interns and work-study students.
