Fincantieri, plans to hire 1,200 people in Italia
From 2026 to 2030, the workforce will increase by approximately 3,000 employees at group level. Open doors to Stem graduates, Its graduates and over 350 specialised workers. The CEO Folgiero: steps forward to grow.
Key points
Between now and 2030, Fincantieri is ready to employ around 3,000 workers at group level. In Italia this increase will affect more than 1,200 employees, a third of whom are university graduates. Of these, more than two thirds will be in the scientific-technological disciplines (the so-called Stem). Hundreds of technical graduates, selected from the main industrial technical institutes in Italy and coming out of post-diploma Its specialisation courses, in which Fincantieri is a partner, will also join the company.
The Plan at Work
Also planned is the employment of specialised workers (more than 350) through the 'Maestri del Mare' (Masters of the Sea) project, the Group's paid training programme aimed at finding, training and hiring shipbuilding workers. These are some of the employment figures contained in the folds of the 2026-30 industrial plan presented last February by the Italian shipbuilding giant. Thanks to these additions, the direct workforce will increase from 24,500 employees in 2025 to 27,500 in 2030, with an estimated increase in productivity of +25%.
Folgiero: further step for growth
"Through the 2026-2030 industrial plan we have charted the course for the next few years, taking a further decisive step forward in our growth trajectory," emphasised Pierroberto Folgiero, Fincantieri's CEO and General Manager. "At the basis of our operating model are our skills, in which we invest daily through continuous training, and our people, the Group's strategic pillar. Their commitment, professionalism and sense of belonging allow us to achieve increasingly challenging objectives, creating long-term value for the country'.
Seeking profiles
Focusing on Italia, 60 per cent of the more than 1,200 staff members will be junior resources (under 35), the remaining 40 per cent will concern senior figures. This mix, the company explains, will serve to guarantee at the same time 'generational turnover, internal skills development policy, and the acquisition of the so-called cutting-edge market skills, necessary to drive the development of the core business, guarantee the digital and clean energy transition, and growth in new segments'.
The new additions will strengthen the development of innovations in engineering and production processes.
