Pay & benefits

What you'll get

🌟 Why join our project?

  • Work-life balance, equilibrium, and real rest: We firmly believe that high performance requires moments of disconnection. Therefore, you will enjoy a framework schedule from Monday to Thursday from 8:30 to 18:00 h and an intensive workday every Friday of the year, on the eve of holidays, and throughout July and August (from 8:30 to 15:30 h). Additionally, December 24th and 31st are completely free for our entire team.

  • Impact and real autonomy: You will be part of a technical team in full development within a flat structure, where your ideas are heard, implemented with agility, and where you will have a direct voice on which standards and sectors we want to grow into.

  • Human and collaborative culture: You will work side by side with a young, dynamic, and motivated team in an environment where mutual support, transparency with management, and the absence of unnecessary bureaucracy prevail.

  • Stability and projection: You are entering a consolidated project, in one of the fastest-growing certification entities nationally and internationally, designed to build a solid, long-term career.

The role

🌱 Why will your work make a difference?

At OCA Global, we believe that food safety and respect for origin are not just regulations: they are the foundation of a more sustainable and transparent world.

As an Agri-food Product Certification Technician, you will join the Agri-food Operations department to become the technical reference engine for primary sector schemes (PDOs, PGI, SAE, Voluntary Labeling, and more). Your role will not consist solely of auditing or managing files, but of paving the way for new certifications and accreditations, ensuring that the food reaching thousands of families meets the most demanding standards of quality and safety.

What you'll do

🎯 What will your main missions be?

  • Lead technical control and maintenance: Guarantee operational excellence and the maintenance of the company's active accreditations in primary sector standards to provide maximum reliability to our certifications.

  • Drive new accreditations and schemes: Be the technical reference in charge of paving the way for new standards, auditing and coordinating files to achieve their respective accreditations and expand OCA Global's scope.

  • Train and support the team: Offer high-level technical support to both field auditors and the sales team, participating in training sessions and intervening in strategic technical-commercial visits to provide rigor and drive operations.

  • Foster the growth of the area: Provide your expert vision to detect opportunities, propose entry into new schemes, and actively grow the agri-food line.
