Global aluminum manufacturer for aerospace, automotive, and packaging
Constellium is a 10,000+ person public manufacturer of engineered aluminum products across aerospace, automotive, and packaging. The stack is heavily operational—PLC, SCADA, SAP, AutoCAD, RFID—paired with manufacturing-grade monitoring (Micrometer, Minitab, Power BI). Hiring skews heavily toward engineering and manufacturing roles with a mid-level seniority concentration, and the active project list (maintenance planning, equipment reliability, lean manufacturing, product industrialization) reveals an organization focused on production uptime and cost reduction rather than software-led innovation.
Notable leadership hires: Technical Director, Maintenance team lead
Constellium designs and manufactures high-performance aluminum alloys and rolled products for aerospace, automotive, and consumer packaging. The company operates 25 manufacturing sites across Europe, North America, and China, with technology centers in Voreppe, France and Plymouth, Michigan focused on advanced alloy development. Three business units—Aerospace and Transportation, Packaging and Automotive Rolled Products, and Automotive Structures and Industry—serve distinct customer segments. The organization runs on SAP, industrial control systems (PLC, SCADA, HMI), and manufacturing execution tools, reflecting a capital-intensive, process-driven operation scaling across multiple geographies.
Core systems: SAP, PLC, SCADA, HMI, AutoCAD, Siemens, Allen-Bradley. Analytics and monitoring: Power BI, Minitab, Micrometer. Integration: MQTT, Node-RED, RFID. Office: Microsoft 365 suite, SQL, Microsoft Access.
Projects center on equipment reliability and cost reduction: maintenance planning automation, diagnostic systems development, process reliability improvement, lean manufacturing, equipment outage management, and product industrialization. Pain points include reducing downtime, improving uptime, and lowering maintenance costs.
