Careers

At SETE, some 360 staff bring their expertise and passion for the monument to work, serving the millions of visitors that the Eiffel Tower welcomes every year.

A wide range of professional roles are on offer within SETE, from welcoming visitors to operations and maintenance roles, not to mention a whole selection of roles in sales, finance, IT, legal, marketing, and communications.

As part of its new Delegated Public Service contract awarded by the Conseil de Paris, SETE’s primary concern is making the Eiffel Tower an even better place to visit by modernising the way visitors are welcomed and the services available to them, and boosting the Eiffel Tower’s international image.

“The City of Paris wants to make the Eiffel Tower an unassailable showcase for the quality of Paris’ visitor experience” (Paris City Hall press release, June 2017)

The Eiffel Tower is open year-round, from morning until late at night, and even on public holidays. There’s always something happening! The magic of this outstanding monument creates a unique atmosphere.

Our employees are all immensely proud to work for the Eiffel Tower, serving its visitors, and possess an excellent team spirit.
