ARTELIA, a leading European independent engineering group with consolidated revenue of €1.3 billion, is strengthening its Tax Department to address increasingly complex tax matters arising from sustained international growth, acquisitions, new country operations and the growing scale and number of projects.

Reporting to the Group Tax Director, the Tax Manager will provide international tax support to operational and finance teams across the region. The role will focus primarily on bids and contract negotiations, new country entries, cross-border operating structures, year-end tax matters, local compliance and tax audits.

The Tax Department’s mission is to protect the Group’s financial interests through three core priorities:

1. Assess project tax costs for inclusion in financial proposals and draft the related tax provisions for bids and contract negotiations, balancing margin protection with commercial competitiveness.
2. Protect the interests of Group entities during acquisitions, year-end closing processes, tax audits and disputes.
3. Ensure the Group’s tax compliance in France, internationally and in its cross-border activities.
