A typical day at work

My days are very interesting. Every day, I work with many of my colleagues in France, Switzerland and Belgium to develop their skills.  

  • I help develop their experience to help them build their skills and know-how. 
  • Building training paths and training content with teams from other CBUs and MBUs…- 
  • Identifying future talent with the recruitment teams 
  • Animation of the Quality community (Regulatory watch, Quality Café, Internal Journal “Qualitex”, Teams group)
  • Participation in inter-company working groups on remote audits and quality by design 
  • Intervention to promote the variety and quality of our profiles or on complex subjects requiring a certain seniority 
  • Responding to complex offers and to identify the needs of the clients. 

3 questions to sum up life at Expleo

#1
Why did you choose to join Expleo as “Discipline Head”?

I joined and remain with Expleo because of the position I was offered. There is also diversity, and a space of trust that I discovered when I arrived.
But a very important point for me is the group's employees who are intelligent, diverse and humane. I also like to take on difficult and complex challenges, to get out of my comfort zone and never give up: "I never lose. I either win or I learn.” - Nelson Mandela.

#2
Do you think Expleo is a great place to work? Why?

Expleo is a company where you can simply be yourself and grow.
The pleasure of working as a team, whatever our profession, is felt daily and results in us producing quality work.
To continue my development and pass on my skills and experience, I needed a trustworthy environment that accepts diversity and values all employees.

#3
How would you describe the culture at Expleo?

Multicultural, diverse, benevolent, and development oriented. Not only in terms of the skills of our employees but also in terms of creating a partnership with our clients to grow together. Expleo's culture is based on the talents it has chosen to develop, both in terms of technical expertise. They allow talent to grow, to stimulate intelligence and to develop a sense of teamwork.

What is your name and your role and how long have you been working at Expleo?

This year I’m celebrating my 12th year at Expleo. I started my career at Expleo as a Quality Auditor contractor, and then was offered a Staff position in the Life Cycle Management team, where I became a Deputy Team Lead, after which there was another promotion opportunity to an Engineering Manager, and later I was able to join our Marine division where I currently work.

Where and how long did you serve in the armed forces?

I served in the Air Force just shy of 25 years. I started my career as an Aero Engines Mechanic. My first posting was at Brize Norton working on VC 10s, Tri Stars & Hercules Aircraft. Then I went on to a technician’s course and became a Junior Technician, and then progressed into a leadership position as a Sergeant. I left the Air Force as a Senior Non-commissioned Officer.

What challenges did you have after leaving the Armed Forces?

My main challenge was worrying about Job Security. My manager was very supportive when I was still a contractor at Expleo and he transferred me over from contractor to permanent staff. I remember the conversation I had with him about the opportunities for secure job security and promotion.

And he said: “At Expleo, opportunities are out there for you, so go and get them”. And he was right, there are plenty of opportunities at Expleo. You just have to seize them. And every time I saw an opportunity at Expleo, I just went for it. 

I transferred a lot of my skills over to Expleo. For instance, the aircraft and engine experience, experience in fault diagnosis, and more in-depth engineering project management and of course my leadership & Management Skills 

How did Expleo help you to transition into your civilian job?

I found it quite an easy transition, as there were a lot of ex-forces colleagues within Expleo when I joined, some of which I knew already. For those that didn’t have a military background they were equally as welcoming.

How do you feel Expleo allows you to use your expertise you gained during your service?

Expleo gave me the freedom to use my transferable skills that I gained in the Air Force. My manager and colleagues had an open mindset for my ideas. I could bring those ideas into the office and illustrate how they could be implemented within a business setting They very much welcomed my ideas about improvements, and there is always an open environment for sharing ideas and previous knowledge. I also completed an Expleo Leadership Management course, which differed to the one I had in the Air Force. Combining the two gave me a much more rounded leadership and management mindset.

How do you connect with other members of the Armed Forces Community at Expleo?

I participate in careers transition workshops supporting recruiters. When Ex-Forces are looking for a new career, I attend the workshops chatting to the Armed Forces community sharing my experience and what I have learned.

What advice would you give to other members of the Armed Forces Community who are planning to join Expleo?

Expleo has many different opportunities, whether it be leadership management, various jobs in engineering, project management etc. Don’t think that you don’t have the skill set to join Expleo. It is within you; you do have those skills and Expleo can bring out these skills in people.
