Job type: Full-time

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.

For this specific role: Basic English (A2-B1) - language courses available on-site. Most multinational plants run in English on the floor with simplified communication and pictogram safety signs. Free or subsidised on-site language classes are common after month 1.
Mediterranean to alpine depending on region. Worker accommodation is centrally heated. Italy has growing migrant-worker communities, especially in industrial cities. Free time activities, religious facilities, halal/vegetarian food access — these vary by city and CHI Recruiting briefs every worker pre-departure.
Forklift or pallet-jack certification is paid by the employer and is typically completed within the first 2-4 weeks. Workers without certification still pick orders manually until certified — pay is the same.
No prior experience is required for this position. Paid on-the-job training runs through your first 2-4 weeks at the plant, after which you operate independently with periodic supervision. Workers from any blue-collar background adapt smoothly.
