Grupo Aviserrano’s new poultry plant in La Carlota has received nearly 10,000 job applications, but the hiring process remains open. The company aims to fill production and specialist roles as it prepares for a September launch with an initial workforce of 300–500 employees.
Grupo Aviserrano’s ambitious new poultry facility in La Carlota, Córdoba, is still searching for staff after attracting close to 10,000 job applications. Despite the overwhelming response, the company continues to recruit, focusing on production roles and technical specialists as it prepares for a phased opening now expected in September.
The plant’s launch has been repeatedly postponed. Initial plans targeted June 2026, later shifting to August, and now the latest estimates suggest production lines will start operating sometime in September. No exact date has been confirmed, and the timeline could change again depending on the readiness of the site and the pace of hiring.
Human resources teams are working through thousands of applications, conducting interviews and reviewing candidates daily. Most positions are for production operatives, but there is also demand for maintenance technicians, quality professionals, and food safety specialists. Aviserrano is working closely with the La Carlota town council to prioritize local candidates, though applications have arrived from across Córdoba and beyond.
Applicants can submit their CVs through the company’s official employment portal, which is open to all interested in working for any Aviserrano business, not just the La Carlota site. Details on salaries, shifts, contract types, and educational requirements are not specified in the public information; candidates are advised to clarify these points during interviews. For those exploring similar opportunities, the region’s industrial sector has seen notable growth, as highlighted by the rapid expansion of pistachio farming in Castilla-La Mancha, which has transformed local employment patterns in recent years.

Production Delays and Workforce Plans
The La Carlota plant is located on a 102,000-square-meter plot in the Nuevas Poblaciones business park, adjacent to the A-4 motorway. Investment in the project is estimated between €60 and €100 million, depending on the final scope and services included. The facility is designed to process up to 12,500 chickens and 2,500 turkeys per hour, with packaging lines capable of preparing around 300,000 trays of fresh product daily.
At launch, Aviserrano expects to employ between 300 and 500 people, with plans to expand to 1,000–1,500 direct jobs by late 2026 or early 2027, depending on business growth. The company’s hiring strategy reflects both the scale of the operation and the need for a mix of general and specialist skills.
Future Expansion and Local Impact
Beyond the core production facility, the complex will eventually include a petrol station, cafeteria, restaurant, and a four-star hotel with 60 rooms, all scheduled for completion by March 2027. These additions are expected to further boost local employment and services.
The surge in applications for the La Carlota plant underscores the strong demand for industrial jobs in Andalusia, especially as new investments reshape the region’s employment landscape. As the opening date approaches, Aviserrano’s ability to assemble and train a large workforce will be critical to the project’s success.
