Assystem hires 300 engineers

Assystem Romania, a consulting company specialising in aerospace, naval and automotive engineering, says it intends to hire 300 Romanian engineers by 2008, with the company already doubling the number of employees during last year to 200. The company, whose main Romanian client is the French group Renault, owns three consulting centres in Bucharest, Pitesti and Constanta. “The new centres in Pitesti and Constanta have led to a doubling in the number of personnel totalling 200 employees. Our company will open another software development centre in Sibiu by the end of the year, for which we have already started recruiting. We also intend to open offices soon,” stated Roger Coat, general manager of Assystem Romania. He added that the opening of the Sibiu-based centre would boost the number of employees to 285 people, and reach 500 by 2008. Assystem representatives estimate to see 7.6 million-euro business for this year, up by around 80% on last year. In 2006, the company’s turnover stood at 4.2 million euros, 90% higher than in 2005.
