Our employees, the beating heart of our commitment
At Ortec, the value of performance is defined by its tangible impact in the field and by staying true to our commitments to the people who drive our company forward. Every project, every site, every success relies on the skills, dedication and professionalism of our employees. Their expertise shapes our identity and guarantees the quality of our achievements.
Our approach is guided by both care and high standards: by supporting, training, protecting and empowering our teams in all circumstances, we safeguard the continuity of our performance as well as the Group’s long-term future. This pragmatic vision of collective strength, rooted in action and results, puts people at the core of our CSR strategy, not as a mere principle, but as the very condition for our lasting success.
Protect, support, help grow
An embodied culture of safety
At Ortec, safety goes far beyond compliance, it is a fundamental commitment, central to our corporate culture. Every day, we engage all our employees, in France and worldwide, to stenghten prevention across five key areas: workplace health, organization, communication, road safety, and job-specific risks.
This commitment takes shape through our “Life First” program, which drives our action: training, awareness, experience-sharing, and dedicated safety initiatives set the pace for the Group. The objective is simple yet uncompromising: everyone home safe and healthy, every single day.
“Let’s go to the Field!”: reinforcing our core principles
Because performance and safety are built in the field, Ortec places managerial proximity at the heart of its organization. Our managers devote a significant share of their time to preparation, guidance, oversight and corrective actions, alongside their teams. This active presence strengthens quality, reduces accidents, and creates the conditions for a safe, high standard working environment.
Grounded in listening, rigor and leading by example, this return to fundamentals fosters trust, cohesion, and the sustainable performance of our teams.
Career paths are forged here
At Ortec, our O’Métiers in-house training academy plays a key role. For more than 30 years, it has offered targeted training programs, developed with field experts, to meet the specific requirements of our professions and anticipate industry shifts. Whether to strengthen skills, prepare for new challenges, or pursue a different career path, every employee has the means to move forward.
Beyond training, internal mobility is a tangible reality: each employee can grow, switch roles, or seize new opportunities, in line with their aspirations and the Group’s needs. This is the purpose of O’pportunity, a simple and accessible digital platform that lists open positions, enables direct contact with managers, and provides personalized support.
By combining O’pportunity’s transparency with O’Métiers’ tailored guidance, Ortec makes career development a tangible, inclusive commitment, serving both collective performance and individual fulfillment.

A living, shared solidarity
At Ortec, solidarity is more than a word: it is something we live, share and build together. It is rooted in the Group’s DNA and stengthened by the commitment of those who bring it to life.
Running to give, acting to care
Sometimes team spirit goes beyond the workplace. Unity is not measured in hours on a site or kilometers covered for a client, but in strides taken together for a cause. Every year, Ortec employees turn solidarity into a true team effort.
From the Triathlon des Roses in Paris, supporting breast cancer research, to Algernon in Marseille, championing inclusion for people with disabilities, to La Scintillante in Lyon,and Les Bacchantes in Aix-en-Provence, our teams have come together, stayed motivated, and pushed their limits. Along the way, they have carried not only our colors but also our values: caring, commitment and solidarity.
Beyond athletic performance, what truly shines through is a mindset: employees united in service of a purpose greater than themselves. This is the essence of “Made in Ortec”: standing together, on worksites as on starting lines, to make a difference, and sometimes to change lives.
Education and equal opportunity, a key challenge for tomorrow
Education is a powerful driver for equal opportunity and the success of future generations. At Ortec, we believe that supporting the education of our employees’ children is an investment in the future, giving each of them the chance to grow and succeed, whatever their circumstances.
This is the purpose of the O’Solidaire fund. More than one-off support, it offers real help to those facing difficult times, ensuring no one is left behind. Scholarship grants, for example, give young people the means to pursue their studies under better conditions, reaffirming our commitment to equal opportunity and solidarity. At Ortec, being there when it matters most is also what social responsibility is all about.
Inclusion: a collective responsibility
At Ortec, inclusion is not an aspiration, it’s a daily reality. Every individual difference is seen as a strength, and disability is never an obstacle, but a factor fully integrated into every career path. We adapt roles to ensure accessibility and independence, while equipping our teams with training and awareness to break down barriers and encourage true collaboration. Integration pathways are personalized so that everyone can find their place and grow within the Group.
We partner with expert organizations and actively support national initiatives such as DuoDay, creating new opportunities for participation and progress. Regularly assessing our performance allows us to keep moving forward, because we believe inclusion is built step by step, over time.
For Ortec, inclusion is not a slogan, but a standard to uphold, a lever for performance, and the assurance that every employee can fully contribute to our collective success. Embracing diversity means shaping the company’s future.
