Availability and Others

Shift Flexibility: This is the most critical requirement. You must have availability to work in rotating shifts (Morning/Afternoon/Night), sometimes including weekends and holidays depending on the season.

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

Are you looking for a stable project in a company that is a global benchmark? 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.

We are not just looking for operators; we are looking for people committed to quality and innovation who feel pride when seeing our products on the tables of millions of homes.

Startup: Prepare and configure the machines at the start of the shift according to the product (juice, wine, tinto de verano, etc.).

Supply: Ensure that the line never stops, loading raw materials and auxiliaries (brik coils, caps, labels, boxes).

Technical Adjustments: Perform format changes when switching from one container size to another (e.g., from 1L to 200ml).

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

Line Logistics

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

Waste management: Separate and record defective products for subsequent recycling (part of the "Zero Waste Objective" commitment).
