Driving job
 
We’ve moved to the Costa Tropical (from Ireland) and I’m wondering how difficult is it to find work.
I’m not that bothered but a part time or casual role would keep me active and top up the money pot as well.
As the title suggests, I’m a driver (bus) with full clean D licence, valid tacho and CPC cards.
are there any agencies specialising in driving jobs?
ta in advance.

AFAIK those groups are not directly transferrable in Spain meaning you would have to take some local tests - in Spanish of course.

Seeing as they are coming from Ireland, not the UK, that is not correct. https://administracion.gob.es/pag_Ho...ocimiento.html
Agencies who may help find work include; Infojobs, linkedin, Glassdoor ect.
I would assume you may need some Spanish to carry out the work.
Spain is looking actively for lorry drivers as there is a shortage.

all EU licences valid in member states. Must be exchanged for Spanish licence after 6 months.
CPC and tacho card also uniform across the EU.
Thank you for your input.

Thank you for that. It at least gives me a start point.

As you now know your licence will cover you the issue is the language, deal with that (kind of) and you are good to go “if” you find a company to employ you..
Good luck !
