What are the different sectors of temporary work in the industry?

The industrial sector is a major provider of temporary jobs in France. Indeed, France's economic activity is largely based on this sector. This is also the case in the Gers, where Flexim Interim is located. It was also one of the first countries to experience the industrial revolution at the beginning of the 19th century.

These are the main French industrial sectors that are recruiting for temporary work:
- the food industry ;
- the pharmaceutical industry ;
- the metal industry ;
- the transport industry ;
- the textile industry ;
- the electronics and equipment industry.

Today, we are detailing temporary employment in the food sector.

What are the different temporary jobs in the food industry?

The agri-food industry includes all activities that transform products from fishing, breeding or cultivation into food products intended mainly for human beings, sometimes for animals.

- workshop manager (manages his workshop or production team);
- food worker (he works in different food production companies);

What qualities and skills are needed to work as a temp in the food industry?

There are many different jobs and professions in the agri-food sector. Some of them are accessible without a baccalaureate, and even without training. They do not therefore require any particular skills, except for being punctual and knowing how to follow simple instructions, while being in fairly good physical shape.

Other temporary jobs in the food industry are more demanding. They require a CAP, BTS, or post-baccalaureate training, sometimes up to BAC+5.
