Renault has launched a major recruitment campaign to hire 300 new employees for its Valladolid manufacturing plant, one of the company’s key production centres in Spain. The vacancies include positions for production line operators and forklift drivers, with recruitment running from November 2025 to March 2026. The selection process, managed by a third party, reflects Renault’s sustained industrial growth and its role as a major employer in Castilla y León.
Successful candidates will work across various stages of vehicle production, such as assembly, wiring, screwing, and component installation, ensuring adherence to Renault’s quality standards. Applicants must be available for rotating shifts (morning, afternoon, and night) and able to start immediately. While no specific qualifications are required, prior experience in manufacturing or logistics and manual dexterity are highly valued.
Renault offers full-time temporary contracts of up to six months, with the potential for direct incorporation into the company. Annual salaries range from €20,662 to €22,000, complemented by benefits such as healthcare programmes, employee discounts, and company transport.
