Companies hiring in the Ardennes

Employment in the Ardennes is heavily concentrated in the industrial sector, which accounts for 25% of local salaried jobs. The Stellantis plant in Charleville-Mézières is the region’s largest employer. Specializing in foundry work and automotive parts manufacturing, the company offers jobs for a variety of profiles:

• Production operator / Forklift driver / Maintenance technician (with or without vocational diploma or high school certification)

• Production engineer / Process engineer / HR / Purchasing / Finance

The Hermès group, established in the Ardennes for more than 20 years, has become a growing economic player in the local employment market. It employs 660 people in the department. The entire hub, including the leather workshops in Bogny-sur-Meuse and Tournes, will eventually employ more than 700 artisans, with the future leather workshop in Charleville-Mézières expected to create 280 jobs by 2027.

The positions created focus on artisan and support roles linked to luxury craftsmanship and high-quality expertise. To ensure recruitment and high training standards, the Hermès School in Charleville-Mézières offers vocational training programs (cutter, leatherworker CAP, stitcher).

Intelcia, a global leader in customer relations, has made the Ardennes its main French base, employing nearly 800 people since opening there in 2018. The company operates three sites in Charleville-Mézières and Sedan.

Its main activity is customer service in the telecommunications sector, especially for SFR (technical support, subscription management, after-sales service, etc.). It also manages customer accounts for energy suppliers (billing advice, case follow-up) and provides assistance for public organizations (housing services, retirement files, etc.). The company welcomes entry-level candidates and provides in-house training.

This family-owned company, established in Rethel for over 80 years, employs 350 people and operates 80,000 square meters of warehouse space across the Ardennes and Marne regions. Specializing in responsible transport and logistics, it offers a wide range of services (freight transport, bulk transport, refrigerated transport, and tanker transport).

The company is also expanding opportunities for interns and work-experience placements (AFPA, local missions, middle schools, and high schools). Awarded the “Employment Ambassador for Transport and Logistics” label, it maintains strong employment standards with 100% permanent contracts (CDI).

The establishment of Cibox in Revin illustrates the emergence of a new industry in the Ardennes: electric micromobility. The company has gradually shifted toward the design and assembly of electric bicycles and scooters, focusing on local French production.

Located on a former industrial brownfield site, it contributes to the economic revival of the region and plans to produce 150,000 bicycles per year. This growth will require increasing its workforce to nearly 250 employees within the next few years. This strategic positioning supports local economic dynamism while addressing today’s sustainable mobility challenges.
