Location: Italy
Salary: €2,100/month
Job type: Full-time
Experience: Entry
Openings: 45
Contract duration: 1 year
Operate bottling machines, sort raw ingredients, and package finished products in an Italian food processing facility. 2-shift rotation, 40 hrs/wk. Housing, meals, tools with safety gear included.
Working in Italy
Italy has steady demand in food processing, dairy, meat-packing, hospitality and agriculture — sectors that hire year-round under the Decreto Flussi quota system. A Nulla Osta work authorisation is followed by a work visa; total time is typically 8 to 16 weeks depending on the consulate. Living costs vary widely — northern Italy (Milan, Bologna) is more expensive than the south, but most factory contracts include accommodation. Italy has Europe's second-largest South Asian community after the UK, with established networks in Lombardy, Veneto and Lazio.
What this role looks like day-to-day
A normal day moves between picking orders against a hand-scanner, packing them on labelled pallets, and operating a low-level forklift or pallet jack. Modern warehouses are climate-controlled and most picking is done within walking distance of your station. This role suits workers comfortable on their feet, with steady hand-eye coordination, and an ability to maintain accuracy as the picking pace builds toward end-of-shift cutoffs.
