Our employees
Meet the team
Novium is 70 women and men working together every day to offer the best of themselves to our clients.
Our installation mechanics work on one-off and small production-run machines in our workshops. They do far more than just perform tasks; they provide an expertise that is recognised in their field, and their feedback is vital to the development of our machines.
Serge D. : “I’ve been working at Novium for ten years. Working in this unique company, you’re guaranteed to be involved in projects unlike any other, which use all of our design and innovation resources. In my team, helping each other and talking is important, with each one of us making sure we’re as versatile as we can be.”
As well as being tasked with wiring and connecting up the electrical systems on mobile machines, our electricians are also involved in programming some of our machines’ embedded electronics modules. They work as part of a close-knit team.
Valentin L. : “My job often takes me out to our clients to perform maintenance on their mobile machines, and it’s important to know them like the back of your hand. As part of the electrical team, I’m expanding my skills and gaining new ones, especially in automated systems.”
The assignments performed by our mechanics form part of a team work. Each member plays a vital part in the manufacture of our products, and work in such fields as mechanics, hydraulics, electrics, and automated systems. This profession requires special attention to quality, safety and deadlines – our clients’ primary values.
David D.M. : “I love this job; there’s nothing routine about it. On the contrary, you have to be versatile and able to work alone. Working in a close-knit team where everyone can count on each other, in a pleasant working environment and in spotlessly clean workshops, lets you make the best use of your skills for the clients’ benefit.”
Our maintenance technicians are frequently in touch with our clients, combining solid expertise with an unbeatable ability on our range of machines. Their job is to always find the soundest solution to the issues faced by our partners. They are much sought after, and are especially highly appreciated at Novium.
Loïc T. : “My job is to be versatile and in contact with clients. The vital parts of my job involve assembly, making repairs, running diagnostics and troubleshooting. What could be more satisfying than helping to develop machines, then putting them into service and maintaining them at our clients’ premises? You always learn a lot more from experience in the field.”
France does not train many hydraulic engineers, although there is a great need for them. Novium, as part of Mecateamcluster, has helped to develop some fascinating training programmes and honours that are waiting to be discovered in this field. Hydraulics forms the heart of our machines in the railway and defence industries. Every day, our team of hydraulic engineers works primarily to fulfil our clients’ expectations. They specialise in fluid mechanics and manufacture and install rigid pipes and hose pipes. They are out-and-out experts in their field, and are dedicated to passing on their knowledge to the younger generation.
Michaël E. : “The job of a hydraulic engineer requires precision and organisation, which also means a good knowledge of the applicable regulations. I juggle several tasks, in mechanics, electronics, computing, and automation.”
Novium has a design and engineering office that combines mechanics, hydraulics, pneumatics, electrics, instrumentation and controls, and automation. Our team specialises in different fields, with each one contributing each day, especially to the brainstorming sessions, risk analyses and functional designs.
Our project managers are primarily in charge of satisfying our clients’ requirements and meeting their expectations. They see to it that our commitments are meticulously met. Their task is to monitor project schedules, check cost previsions, and relate and communicate with our clients. Our project managers are the keystone of all the business lines at Novium, and are at the heart of its operations.
Arnaud G. : “After eight years managing projects in other companies, I started at NOVIUM in 2013. Back then, the company had 28 employees. I immediately noticed that this company has enormous potential and could grow quickly. Now, there are more than 60 employees at the company. The key words that make up Novium for me are creativity, technical skills and responsiveness. Managing projects in this company, for me, is a fantastic experience.”
Our back office operations ensure that our business runs smoothly and make sure that our customer-facing co-workers and those who manufacture our products have what they need to succeed in their respective tasks. At Novium, back office operations cover a number of fields, such as financing, human resources, and the supply chain.

A sense of individual achievement is the real strength of our team.
