Job description

Since 1986, Codra, who’s Headquarters is based at Massy on the outskirts of Paris, has established itself well in the demanding world of industrial computing and software development (PANORAMA SCADA).
Codra’s goal is to achieve and maintain a strong structure so as to offer a continuation of high quality projects and aftersales services to clients on a long-term basis.
These achievements, in terms of software engineering and industrial software development, are possible thanks to our main strengths:

CSL is based in the historic Roman city of Chester (80,000 residents).
Based on the border of England and Wales, and close to the coast of the Irish Sea, Chester is within easy reach of the larger vibrant cities of Liverpool and Manchester, and also the outdoor pursuits in the mountain regions of North Wales, The Pennines and The Lake District. Thus Chester offers a very pleasant and enjoyable place to live and to work in a nice touristic atmosphere with plenty of public transport connections locally and to further afield.
CSL directly manages the English market, and due to the wide-spread use of English, it is ideally suited to also manage the international distribution (non-French-speaking markets).
