Location: France
Salary: €2,250/month
Job type: Full-time
Experience: Entry
Openings: 18
Contract duration: 1 year
Pick, pack, and ship customer orders in a French distribution center using handheld scanning devices and conveyor systems. Work rotating day and night shifts totalling 35 hours per week with a night shift premium. Fully provided housing, daily meals, and transport to the facility are included at no cost. No previous logistics experience is required - a 1-year renewable contract with complete on-the-job training is provided.
Working in France
France's second-largest economy in Europe drives steady demand in construction, food processing, automotive and warehouse logistics. A work visa with OFII validation on arrival is standard; processing typically runs 8 to 12 weeks plus the in-country OFII step. Outside Paris and the Côte d'Azur, cost of living is moderate; cities like Lyon, Lille and Toulouse host major industrial employers. France has long-established communities from Vietnam, North Africa and South Asia, especially in Île-de-France and the south.
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.
