Production Roles

A Composite fitter is in charge of fitting, assembling and controlling the composite parts.

The adjustment consists of routing, fitting and drilling elementary parts before assembly.

During assembly, the fitter uses cementing or riveting technologies.
The composite is going to have an important place in the aircraft industry (more than 40% of an aircraft is made from composite material). Moreover, material technologies are evolving all the time, which makes fitter an interesting job for the future.

The mastering of short delivery times requires the mastering of a specialist know-how that is directly linked to our training politic.
