The role

At Covirán, you have the opportunity to drive sustainability as a Sustainability Technician (ESG) in our headquarters in Atarfe! If you are motivated by a dynamic environment, with a good atmosphere and an intensive morning schedule, here you can truly develop your professional impact.

YOUR MISSION: to activate sustainability throughout the entire organization. You will have a key role connecting strategy, operations, and compliance to integrate ESG criteria across the entire value chain, from logistics to corporate decision-making.

Your work will not stop at analysis: you will drive real changes that reduce environmental impact, strengthen social commitment, and ensure a more responsible and sustainable business model.

What you'll do

You will coordinate the Sustainability committee.
You will coordinate the identification of ESG focus areas throughout the value chain, detecting where to act to generate greater impact.
You will analyze ESG risks and opportunities (environmental, social, and governance), providing criteria for strategic decision-making.
You will drive sustainability initiatives: reduction of environmental impact, energy efficiency, circular economy, and responsible waste management.
You will guarantee compliance with environmental and social regulations applicable to the food distribution sector.
You will prepare and coordinate sustainability reports, ESG reports, and regulatory reporting (CSRD, ESRS, environmental footprint, among others).
You will ensure the documentary traceability necessary for audits and requirements from external providers.
You will collaborate with key areas such as Quality and Food Safety, OSH, Logistics, Purchasing, People and Organization, and Legal to integrate ESG criteria into processes.
You will align ESG standards with public tender requirements and agreements with institutions.
You will drive a sustainable culture in platforms and stores, supporting middle management in the adoption of responsible practices.
You will collaborate with sector associations, such as ASEDAS and other relevant entities, to stay at the forefront of sustainability and distribution.

How you'll work

Permanent full-time contract (40 hours per week).
Monday to Friday (weekends off!).
Morning schedule: from 7:00 to 15:00—no split shifts!—and with flexibility in entry/exit times.

About Coviran

Coviran is a Spanish food retail cooperative based in Granada, operating one of the largest networks of neighborhood supermarkets in Spain. With over 3,000 points of sale, primarily under the Coviran brand, the company focuses on proximity retail, offering fresh produce, groceries, and everyday essentials. It is a key player in the Spanish grocery sector, particularly in Andalusia and other regions, and is known for its cooperative model that supports local suppliers and small-format stores.

Coviran's operations in Spain are extensive, with distribution centers and logistics hubs across the country, including locations such as Atarfe, Toledo, Coslada, Vitoria, and others. The company's work culture emphasizes teamwork, operational efficiency, and local community engagement. For international professionals, Coviran offers opportunities primarily in warehouse and logistics roles, such as order preparation and forklift operation, which may be suitable for those seeking entry-level positions in the retail supply chain. While the company is deeply rooted in Spain, its cooperative structure and regional focus mean that roles are often localized, and Spanish language skills are typically essential for day-to-day operations.

Good to know if you are moving

Coviran is a cooperative, meaning employees may have opportunities to participate in a member-based structure, though most roles are standard employment.
The company operates primarily in Spain, so Spanish language proficiency is typically required for most positions, especially in logistics and store operations.
Many open roles are temporary or seasonal, particularly in warehouse and logistics, which can be a good entry point for international workers.
Coviran has a strong presence in southern Spain, especially in Andalusia, where the cost of living is generally lower than in Madrid or Barcelona.
The company's distribution centers are located in various Spanish cities, offering opportunities across different regions.
