The logistics sector is positioned as the leading generator of seasonal employment in Spain, especially during the upcoming Black Friday and Christmas campaigns. Gi Group ETT has announced that over 2,000 workers are expected to be hired across Spain between October and January, with a particular focus on the communities of Madrid, Catalonia, and the Valencia Community. This increase in labor demand is a response to a significant growth in e-commerce and a notable rise in orders.
The most sought-after positions this season include operators, forklift drivers, warehouse assistants, and delivery drivers. The locations with the highest volume of job offers include Madrid, Getafe, and Coslada in the Community of Madrid, as well as Barcelona and Martorell in Catalonia. Additionally, cities like Valencia and Alicante stand out in the Valencia Community. However, it is estimated that almost all autonomous communities will offer vacancies, reflecting the sector’s expansion in various regions of the country.
To qualify for the different positions, candidates must meet certain requirements. For example, delivery drivers need prior experience and at least 8 points on their driver’s license, as well as skills in handling electronic devices. A proactive attitude and good customer orientation are highly valued aspects. Forklift drivers, on the other hand, must possess a valid forklift license and have experience operating machinery.
Warehouse assistants and operators must demonstrate good physical ability and experience in logistics or production, as well as a clear commitment to teamwork. Willingness to work in shifts and maintain a positive attitude are essential conditions for all required profiles.
Those interested in joining this growing sector can find more information about available job offers through the Gi Group website. Thus, the logistics sector reaffirms itself as an essential economic engine during times of high demand.
