Recruitment Firm Aerospace
& Defence Paris

Volta Executive: 25% of the annual gross package for one role, 23% per role from two similar roles (same function, same level) entrusted together. One-third deposit of the fees at launch, deducted from the final invoice, balance on signature of the job offer. Assignment entrusted on an exclusive basis. On the market, executive search most often sits between 25 and 33% of the package: Volta is at the entry of that range. 3-month replacement guarantee, extendable to 6, and 90-day onboarding follow-up included.

Programme directors, industrial directors and MRO managers are in post at prime contractors or their subcontractors, and do not respond to adverts. Direct search identifies them, then approaches them in confidence with a reasoned proposition. Florian Beurtey, who worked at Safran, knows the sector's skills pathways.

Yes, we work across all French aerospace clusters: Toulouse (Airbus, Latécoère, Daher), Bordeaux (Safran Nacelles, Thales Avionics), Île-de-France (Safran, Thales, MBDA, Dassault), Marseille (Thales Alenia Space, Daher Narbonne), Nantes (Airbus Atlantic), Versailles/Saint-Cloud (Dassault). We also cover defence sites (DGA Bagneux, Naval Group Brest and Cherbourg, MBDA Louvres).

At Volta Executive, the shortlist arrives within 10 days and the hire is concluded within 3 weeks by direct search, provided we get a reply within 48 hours and the assignment is exclusive. The executive's notice period then comes on top. For a programme director or a highly specialised profile (avionics, embedded systems, Airbus structural analysis), the mapping of the search ecosystem is wider.

Florian Beurtey, founder of Volta Executive, worked at Safran before creating the firm. He knows from the inside the skills pathways, the industrial stakes and the management culture of a large aerospace group.

Yes, for companies in the defence industrial and technological base: programme leadership, industrial leadership, HSE and secure supply chain, by direct search and under confidential mandate.

Yes. The replacement guarantee is 3 months, extendable to 6 months: if the executive hired leaves the role or the trial period is terminated, the search is relaunched at no new fee. 96% success rate over 120 assignments analysed between 2023 and 2025, Volta Executive and previous firms.
