Life at F2A
F2A’s people-centered company culture is naturally reflected in its values and its employees.
Key figures
Our products meet demanding technical and regulatory requirements. This shapes our culture: high standards in design, precision in manufacturing, and strong process control. We value technical expertise, continuous development of know-how, and a deep understanding of our products. Industrial performance is built on expertise.
F2A is an independent industrial company. This means close relationships, stability, and long-term commitment. Teams work closely together, with strong collaboration between production, engineering, sales, and support functions. Expertise is shared, communication is direct, and decisions are made close to the field. Management remains closely connected to operations. Performance is collective.
At F2A, every employee is responsible for their own scope. Autonomy is expressed through how work is organized, taking initiative, and proposing concrete improvements. We expect professionalism and commitment. Trust cannot be decreed: it is built through action and grounded in competence.
Initiatives related to health, sports, and the environment. Team events, social gatherings, and internal initiatives also help strengthen cohesion and employee engagement.
Our CSR committee, made up of volunteer employees, proposes concrete improvement initiatives on topics such as well-being at work, health, sports, and the environment.
At each of our sites, safety officers lead occupational risk prevention initiatives with the goal of “zero accidents.” We also work on the ergonomics of our facilities and equipment.
Every year, F2A supports several charity runs by covering the registration fees of our employee runners: Courir pour elle, the Saint So course, the Bressoline, and more.
Each year, our employees come together for friendly gatherings that strengthen team cohesion and a sense of belonging and engagement: annual seminar, summer activity, family day, and more.
Understanding customer needs, advising, quoting, and supporting projects: these roles are at the heart of customer relationships and F2A’s development. Inside sales engineers, sales administration assistants, area sales managers in France and export markets… from the initial request to project completion, these teams play a key role in customer satisfaction and long-term relationships.
Before reviewing a resume, we meet a person.
At F2A, we value simple, direct, and transparent conversations. Our goal is to get to know you, understand your background and ambitions, and give you a clear view of our working environment. Throughout the hiring process, you will quickly meet approachable contacts with a shared objective: confirming a successful collaboration for both sides. On average, three weeks are enough to move from the first discussion to the final decision.
Testimonials
What I enjoy most in my job is the variety of assignments. I work on different aspects every day, and no two days are alike. Every project is different, which makes the work both stimulating and interesting.
My background is somewhat unusual, since I don’t come from this industrial world. Completely changing direction took a bit of courage, and I had my doubts. Today, I have no regrets at all: I feel good in my work, I love what I do, I’ve found a balance that really suits me, and that truly makes a difference day to day. I would sum up my experience by saying: “Come and try, you’ll form your own opinion, but generally, people want to stay.”
There is real trust between my manager and me. I have a great deal of autonomy in my role because she knows what I can do and I know what I’m capable of. We’re all here to help the company grow, and it’s genuine teamwork that happens every single day.
F2A is a manufacturer, and I get to see how the products we offer are built. What I particularly like is the scientific and technical expertise behind the products we propose. It’s rewarding to know that the products I recommend are based on real know-how and meet high standards. When I joined, I appreciated the kindness of the various colleagues who helped with my onboarding.
I enjoy everything that makes up my job, the synergy around this role. The fact of learning every day and never getting bored. We have the opportunity to thrive in our work, and if an opportunity arises, we can have the possibility to grow.
I’ve moved into increasingly important positions within the company. Unlikely! I wasn’t headed toward this profession; I came in for a summer holiday replacement 15 years ago, and I’m still here. That’s proof enough that it’s a great place to be.
From day one, every new employee follows a three-week onboarding program: discovering the teams, immersion on our sites, and support tailored to the position. At F2A, this approach is designed to make integration easier and help everyone succeed from the very beginning.
Profit-sharing and incentive schemes, with nearly 87% employee participation, fair profit-sharing, remote work available up to two days per week, and meal vouchers fully covered up to €5. Additional benefits, local support, work-life balance, and everyday recognition all contribute to a positive working environment.
We welcome applications throughout the year and do not run a formal annual recruitment campaign for interns or work-study students.
However, feel free to send us a spontaneous application specifying your internship or work-study schedule and the type of position you are looking for. Your application may match a specific need, and we would be happy to support you at the start of your professional career.
Of course. All our positions are open to candidates with visible or invisible disabilities. You may specify your needs either at the beginning of the process or after finalizing your recruitment. This will have no impact on the evaluation of your application.
Some positions can be partially or fully remote. The working rhythm and access conditions are defined in our remote work policy.
Absolutely. If you request confidentiality when submitting your application, we are committed to respecting it.
It varies depending on the position, but on average the process takes between 2 and 3 weeks from the initial contact to the final decision.
