AAA Marine, a recruitment solution from the aeronautics industry

Faced with the recruitment difficulties of the nautical industry, AAA Marine wants to apply its proven methods in aeronautics to yachting. The in-situ work offer is already attracting major boat builders.

Provision of in-situ labor

The AAA Marine company offers in-situ work to the nautical industry. By providing qualified employees, it brings the necessary technical skills to shipyards in need of personnel. "The client buys working hours and we commit ourselves to provide the staff" explains Jean-Pierre Daidone, business manager. The profiles offered by AAA Marine cover all the professions of the yacht building industry, from the freezer-layer to the deckhand, including the boilermaker-welder, the electrician-wireman, the plumber or the carpenter-fitter.

Apply a successful method in aeronautics

AAA Marine's operation is similar to that of an IT services company, a service provider widely used in the service industry. The company applies this model to the production field. Depending on the visibility of the clients, the personnel, employed by AAA on a temporary basis or for long term contracts, is made available or even seconded to the shipyard on a long term basis.
Successfully present in aeronautical companies for the manufacture of airplanes, the AAA company wishes to transpose its know-how to the nautical industry. Already active in yachting for several years on an ad hoc basis at the request of customers, the company launched AAA Marine in 2017 to structure this offer.

Competitive rates

While boating suffers from a less favourable image than aeronautics, the question of salaries does not seem to be a problem. "Contrary to what people think, the salary gap is not that big between boating and aeronautics," reassures Jean-Pierre Daidone. Faced with the difficulty of hiring in shipyards, AAA Marine's offer and its pool of skills from the aeronautics industry remain competitive.

Seduced construction sites

If AAA Marine remains discreet about the names of its customers, the company says it already works with big names in the nautical industry. "We are mainly present on the market of pleasure boats of 40 feet and more" explains Jean-Pierre Daidone. Based in Montoir-de-Bretagne, near Nantes, AAA Marine covers the entire French market, both in the Mediterranean and in the Atlantic.
