With a target of 6,000 positions to fill each year, we aim to attract applicants by highlighting our strengths:
- an international group that contributes to the sustainable and local development of communities;
- a decentralized organization that promotes personal initiative and encourages people to take responsibility in their day-to-day work, early in their careers;
- a large company where everyone can feel at home, work safely, and develop over the long term.
Retain
We firmly believe that the best way to retain employees is to promote fairness and diversity, foster the inclusion of all, and reward based on merit. In other words, all our employees can thrive within the Group throughout their careers, irrespective of ethnic origin, gender, age, and personal opinion.

Every year, we offer our employees the opportunity to expand their skills through a wide range of training courses that boost career paths. Both at Colas and the Bouygues Group, our employees can further their career development by taking up geographic or functional mobility opportunities.
