Framatome announced today the creation of a branch in Italy with offices in Milan and Turin. Italian employees will support the existing fleet and contribute to the development of nuclear energy in Europe from their home country.
“The creation of this branch marks a new step in our long-standing cooperation with Italy,” commented Bernard Fontana, CEO of Framatome. “Framatome has been hiring talented Italian engineers in France for over 40 years. This branch offers engineers the possibility of working in Italy, while contributing to the development of low carbon energy.”
The creation of an Italian branch follows on from the cooperation agreement for scientific and technological research and training in the field of nuclear energy, signed last July by Framatome, Edison and Politecnico di Milano.
“To support current and future projects, Framatome is hiring 2,500 people a year around the world,” said Elisabeth Terrail, Senior Executive Vice President Human Resources at Framatome. "Prestigious Italian schools such as Politecnico di Milano, Politecnico di Torino and CIRTEN universities offer excellent courses in nuclear engineering, for both training and research, and their graduates constitute an important talent pipeline to develop long-term skills for the nuclear industry.”
