Documents & information

Your manager or HR team will communicate your start date and time as well as the location, usually the week before your 1st day. If you don’t have their contact details, ask the HR person who handled your contract or your temporary agency. Come on your 1st day with the requested documents and necessary information:

– Passeport or National Identity Card

Work permit / Visa / Permanent residence card… Anything to confirm that you’re eligible to work in France, in the UK or in Germany, depending on your location. If it applies to you and you are unable to provide the proper documentation, you will not be able to start employment.

Badge & Airbus canteens

During the induction morning you will receive the address of the badge office.

Once you have completed the Security and Eligibility checks you will be issued with your personal ID Badge. This must be worn at all times. Your badge is multi-function, it enables you to:

– Access the different sites and buildings

– Pay your meal at the Airbus canteen like a bank card

Airbus sites have several canteens. So many people have favorites. You can eat in or grab a take away, you choose. To pay for your meal, they accept cash and most accept cards. In the long run, the simplest is to put money on your badge. You can do so on machines at the entrance of each canteen. You can have a sneak peek at the cantines’ locations next to your future workplace on the Campus by Airbus mobile app
