Covap
Covap is a Spanish agri-food cooperative based in Pozoblanco (Córdoba), operating in the dairy and meat sectors. As a cooperative, it is owned by thousands of livestock farmers and processes, distributes, and commercializes dairy products, meats, and cured ham (including their Láctia brand). It ranks among Spain's largest food cooperatives and now counts more than 750 employees, expanding beyond its core regions to other areas of the country.
The company maintains the industrial and administrative heart in Pozoblanco (Andalusia) but hires across Spain, from Madrid to Santander, Barcelona, and Ciudad Real. These roles—ranging from events, trade marketing, and hospitality to ham cutters, are often geographically dispersed rather than centralized. For international hires, adaptability and a strong command Latin American, EU, or Magreb working experience is generally valued in such roles, with many positions being on-site in their respective locations. Work culture is rooted in rural industry tradition, often flexible in hospitality.
Company History
Covap was founded in 1975 as a cooperative of livestock farmers in the region of Los Pedroches (Córdoba). Over the decades it expanded from raw milk collection to processing and commercialising dairy products, cured ham, and meat, becoming one of Spain's main cattle cooperatives.
For International Professionals
- Requires annual compensation for temporary contracts, as many opening positions are seasonal (e.g., Xmas ham cutters in Santander and Barcelona).
- Offers mid-size cooperative work environment, so expectations should be adjusted to Spanish market standards rather than tech-scale.
- Temporary contracts are common for hospitality and events jobs, often with shifts and weekends.
- Fluency in Spanish is mandatory since roles without need for Spanish are not expected; yet some roles like ham cutters and background could be linked to formal local training.
- Contracts may include flexible hours, but no evidence of remote work is present; all listed roles are on-site.
