Good to know if you are moving

Vectalia operates in several European countries, offering opportunities for cross-border mobility within the group.
The company is a major employer in the Valencian Community, with a high concentration of roles in Alicante and its surroundings.
Many operational roles (bus drivers, mechanics, security guards) are covered by Spanish collective bargaining agreements, which can be a learning curve for international hires.
The company regularly publishes job openings on its own careers portal, indicating an active and continuous recruitment effort.
While Spanish language skills are essential for most customer-facing roles, some technical and back-office positions may be more accessible for non-Spanish speakers.
