Citrus Campaign in Valencia: 800+ Jobs Available

VALENCIA – HIGRH NEWS: Citrus campaign in Valencia: Gi Group is recruiting more than 800 workers for the citrus and persimmon campaign in the Valencian Community, with vacancies including packers, warehouse workers, forklift drivers and machine operators. The positions offer fixed-discontinuous contracts, while working arrangements can include rotating shifts, fixed shifts and split schedules. So, who can apply and where should candidates send their CV?

The start of the citrus campaign is opening hundreds of employment opportunities across the Valencian Community. Gi Group is looking for workers to support operations connected with the handling, packing and processing of agricultural produce during the campaign.

The recruitment drive covers more than 800 positions, according to reporting on the company’s campaign. The profiles include packers, warehouse workers, forklift drivers and machine operators, among other roles.

Gi Group’s current employment listings also show an active opening for citrus warehouse staff in Alzira, Valencia. The position is offered on a fixed-discontinuous basis and covers Alzira, Carcaixent, L’Alcúdia and surrounding areas.

For jobseekers, the recruitment offers several routes into the campaign. Some positions require specific licences or previous warehouse experience, while experience from earlier citrus campaigns can be considered an advantage for other roles.

Citrus campaign in Valencia: Which workers are being recruited?

The recruitment covers several different jobs within the citrus supply chain. Each position has its own requirements, meaning applicants should check the conditions before submitting their CV.

Packers, also referred to as encajadoras or encajadores, are among the workers sought for the campaign. Candidates for these positions need a food-handling certificate. Previous experience working in citrus campaigns can strengthen an application, although it is not presented as an essential requirement for the role.

Another profile is the warehouse worker or capaceador. This position is aimed at people with experience carrying out loading, unloading and material-placement tasks.

The campaign also includes vacancies for forklift drivers. Applicants for these positions need previous experience in warehouse work and must hold a valid forklift licence.

Machine operators are another key profile. These positions require a food-handling certificate, while previous work in citrus campaigns can be considered during the selection process.

The wider recruitment campaign has also included technical profiles such as electromechanics, alongside packing, warehouse and machinery positions.

The variety of jobs means that candidates do not all need the same background. The requirements depend on the position selected.

For anyone preparing an application, the most important step is therefore to identify the vacancy that matches their experience and qualifications.

Experience can make a difference

Previous experience is treated differently depending on the job.

For packing and machine-operation roles, experience from previous citrus campaigns can be valued during recruitment without being listed as an absolute condition for applying.

The situation is different for warehouse-related positions. Experience in loading, unloading and locating materials is specifically requested for capaceador and forklift-driver roles.

The forklift position also has an additional requirement because applicants must have a valid forklift certificate.

This distinction is important for people entering the agricultural employment sector for the first time. Not every position requires previous citrus experience, but certain jobs do require relevant warehouse experience or a specific qualification.

What contracts are offered for the citrus campaign?

The positions are linked to fixed-discontinuous contracts, a form of employment commonly used for activities that operate during specific periods rather than continuously throughout the year.

Gi Group’s current citrus warehouse vacancy in Alzira is listed as fixed discontinuous and full-time. The company describes the position as an opportunity for stable work during the campaign.

The arrangement is particularly relevant to seasonal agricultural activity because the workforce requirement changes according to the campaign.

The exact conditions can vary between vacancies, so applicants should read the individual job listing carefully before applying.

Gi Group currently lists the citrus warehouse opportunity under the agriculture, livestock and fishing category and identifies Alzira as the employment location.

The company is also recruiting for other fixed-discontinuous positions in the Valencian Community, reflecting the seasonal nature of several activities in the region.

Citrus campaign in Valencia: What working hours should applicants expect?

Flexibility is an important part of the recruitment process.

The campaign information indicates that workers may be assigned morning and afternoon rotating shifts, fixed shifts or split working days, depending on the requirements of the position and the workplace.

Candidates should therefore be prepared for different working patterns rather than assuming that every vacancy follows the same timetable.

Availability from Monday to Sunday is also highlighted among the conditions associated with the campaign. The recruitment information also allows for overtime when production requirements make additional working hours necessary.

That flexibility can be particularly important during periods of increased activity, when warehouses need additional workers to handle the volume of produce entering the facilities.

For applicants, the practical implication is straightforward: before applying, they should make sure they can meet the availability requirements attached to the position.

A candidate who already has experience in agricultural warehouses may have an advantage for positions where that background is valued. However, the campaign also includes opportunities where previous citrus experience is not essential.

Where are the citrus jobs located?

The recruitment covers the Valencian Community, with opportunities associated with different locations.

Gi Group’s current citrus warehouse listing specifically identifies Alzira, Carcaixent, L’Alcúdia and surrounding areas.

The company’s broader employment portal currently lists dozens of vacancies across the Valencian Community, including positions in Valencia, Alicante and Castellón.

The location of the workplace is an important point for applicants to check before applying.

The current Alzira citrus warehouse vacancy, for example, states that candidates should live close to the workplace and have their own vehicle to reach the centre. It also asks for full availability to start.

Those conditions mean that candidates should not only look at the job title. They should also examine the location, transport requirements and availability requested in the individual listing.

How to send your CV to Gi Group

People interested in joining the citrus campaign can apply online through Gi Group’s recruitment platform.

The company’s official employment portal currently lists the PERSONAL ALMACÉN DE CÍTRICOS (H/M) vacancy in Alzira as a fixed-discontinuous position. The listing includes an application option for candidates.

Candidates should select the vacancy that best corresponds to their professional background and check the requirements before completing the application.

Those applying for forklift positions should make sure their forklift licence is valid. Candidates targeting packing or machine-operation roles should check the food-handling certificate requirement.

Applicants with previous experience in citrus warehouses should include that experience clearly in their CV. The same applies to loading, unloading, material handling and machinery experience.

The application process is carried out online through Gi Group’s employment website.

What candidates should check before applying

Before sending a CV, applicants should compare their profile with the requirements of the position.

For packers and machine operators, the food-handling certificate is an important requirement. For forklift drivers, the valid forklift licence is essential.

Warehouse experience is particularly relevant for capaceador and forklift positions. Candidates should make sure their CV clearly describes any previous work involving loading, unloading, stock movement or material placement.

Availability is another major consideration. The campaign can involve different shifts and requires flexibility depending on production needs.

Location should also be checked carefully. Gi Group’s current Alzira vacancy covers several nearby municipalities and asks candidates to have their own vehicle and live close to the workplace.

These details can make a significant difference when deciding which vacancy to pursue.

A recruitment drive covering several types of workers

The citrus campaign is not limited to a single occupation. The recruitment includes people working directly with the preparation and handling of citrus products, as well as workers responsible for warehouse operations and machinery.

That creates different entry points for jobseekers with different professional backgrounds.

People with food-handling qualifications may consider packing and machine-operation positions. Those with warehouse experience can look at capaceador or forklift-driver opportunities, subject to the relevant requirements.

Previous experience in citrus campaigns can also strengthen applications for certain roles.

The current Gi Group vacancy in Alzira confirms that the company continues to recruit warehouse staff for the citrus campaign and describes the opportunity as fixed-discontinuous employment during the campaign.

For anyone interested, the next step is to review the official listing, confirm that the requirements are met and submit the application online.

The location matters

The campaign includes opportunities in areas where citrus handling and packing form part of the local agricultural economy.

Gi Group’s current listing names Alzira, Carcaixent, L’Alcúdia and surrounding areas as locations for citrus warehouse staff.

The company also maintains a broader employment portal for the Valencian Community, where applicants can search vacancies by location and professional area.

Candidates should therefore use the location filters when searching for suitable vacancies and check whether they can realistically reach the workplace.

For the Alzira position, Gi Group specifically requests a nearby residence and access to a private vehicle.

What to include in your CV

A clear CV can help recruiters quickly identify whether an applicant matches the vacancy.

Candidates should highlight previous experience in citrus warehouses, food handling, loading and unloading, forklift operation or machinery, depending on the position they want.

Any relevant licence or certificate should also be clearly stated.

For forklift drivers, the valid forklift licence should be included. For positions requiring food handling, candidates should indicate that they hold the relevant certificate.

Availability can also be important. Applicants who can work according to the campaign’s scheduling requirements should make that clear during the recruitment process.

However, candidates should only include qualifications and experience they genuinely possess. The selection process will depend on how closely each application matches the requirements of the available position.
