Are you looking for a stable project in a world-leading company? At J. García Carrión, under our emblematic brand Don Simón, we continue to grow and we want you to be a fundamental part of our value chain.

As a food company, hygiene is critical.

Quality Controls: Perform periodic sampling to verify that the seal is airtight and that the expiration date/lot is read correctly.

Cleaning (CIP - Cleaning in Place): Execute line cleaning protocols to avoid cross-contamination, strictly following food safety regulations.

Traceability: Record all production data in control sheets or digital systems.

3. Preventive Maintenance and Order
First-level maintenance: Greasing, cleaning sensors, and early detection of strange noises or vibrations to avoid major breakdowns.

Jam Resolution: Act quickly during small stops on the conveyor belt or in the boxing area.

5S Methodology: Keep the work area clean and organized to guarantee your own safety and that of your colleagues.

4. Line Logistics
End of line: Supervise that automatic palletizing is correct and that pallets are properly strapped and labeled for the warehouse.

Valued Training: A Medium or Higher Degree in technical areas is very positively valued, such as:

Own Vehicle: Many of the plants (such as Huelva in Galdames or Daimiel) are located in industrial estates or rural areas where public transport is limited.
