For Spanish Employers
Hire Professional Drivers in Spain
Publish your driver vacancies on FastDriver.eu, reach candidates across the autonomous communities, elsewhere in Europe and in eligible international markets, and manage applications yourself. Where a candidate needs an initial authorisation, the province matters as much as the occupation, and the section below explains why.
Direct employer hiring • European and international reach • Provincial shortage catalogue and CAP guidance
A Driver Job Portal Built for Spanish Employers
FastDriver.eu connects Spanish hauliers, forwarding companies, port logistics operators, bus and coach companies and distribution businesses with drivers looking for work.
Publish a genuine vacancy, state the licence category and the CAP position, describe the routes, and receive applications directly. Say whether the work is national or crosses into France and beyond, since the Pyrenean corridor changes the shape of the job. Browse current Spanish listings at www.fastdriver.eu/jobs/spain.
FastDriver.eu is a specialised driver job portal. It is not a recruitment agency or an empresa de trabajo temporal, it does not employ drivers and it does not lease workers.
Your company reviews the applications, interviews the candidates, inspects the original licence and CAP documents, and signs the employment contract under the applicable collective agreement. The hiring decision stays with you.
Advertise the Driver Roles Your Fleet Needs
Spanish employers recruit across long distance haulage, port drayage, regional distribution and passenger transport. State the licence category and the route pattern, and name the province rather than just the region.
Port and Container Drivers
Advertise for drivers working container drayage and terminal shuttles at Algeciras, Valencia, Barcelona and Bilbao, work that runs to terminal slot times rather than office hours.
Bus and Coach Drivers
Publish roles for conductor de autobus and conductor de autocar on urban networks, interurban lines, school transport and the tourism coach work concentrated on the coasts and islands.
Delivery and Distribution Drivers
Advertise repartidor, mensajero and conductor de reparto positions in parcel networks, food distribution and urban logistics, where low emission zone rules increasingly shape vehicle choice.
Tanker, ADR and Specialist Drivers
Reach conductor ADR, cisterna, frigorifico and special transport drivers for chemical and fuel distribution, temperature controlled produce and project cargo.
Use a job title only where it genuinely matches the role. Unrelated titles added for traffic produce applications you will only reject.
Driver Hiring Across the Spanish Regions
Spain is organised into seventeen autonomous communities and two autonomous cities, divided further into provinces. The province is the unit that matters most for hiring, because the shortage occupation catalogue is drawn up at that level.
Algeciras, Valencia, Barcelona and Bilbao handle container and ro-ro traffic on a large scale, generating drayage and long distance hinterland haulage.
Almost all Spanish international road freight crosses at Irun or La Jonquera, which makes those corridors central to long distance driver work.
Fresh produce from Almeria, Murcia and the Ebro valley moves in temperature controlled vehicles to northern European markets on tight schedules.
Supply to the Balearics and the Canaries runs through shipping schedules, so those roles are built around sailings rather than road distance.
Where Spanish Employers Are Hiring Drivers
Each community has its own transport profile, and the province within it determines the shortage occupation position. Name both in your vacancy.
Spanish Driver Job Titles and the Terms Candidates Search
Spanish drivers search in Spanish, and the everyday words differ from the formal ones used in regulation.
Conductor de camion is the standard term, while camionero is what drivers call themselves. Conductor de trailer signals articulated work, and candidates attach the category as carnet C or C+E.
Distribution roles use conductor de reparto and repartidor, which imply handling and a daily return rather than trunking.
Passenger work splits between conductor de autobus for urban networks and conductor de autocar for interurban, school and tourism services.
Candidates almost always state their CAP alongside the licence, and add ADR where they hold it, so those belong in the requirements rather than the title.
Publish in Spanish for the domestic market, and add Catalan, Galician or Basque where the depot sits in those communities. An English version widens the reach to candidates from elsewhere in Europe.
Recruit Drivers Locally, Across Europe or Worldwide
FastDriver.eu operates as a European driver job portal and allows candidates in other parts of the world to discover and apply for suitable Spanish vacancies.
Spanish employers may receive applications from drivers based in Spain, other EU and EEA countries, Switzerland, the wider European region, Asia, Africa, Gulf countries, North America, Latin America, the Caribbean and other eligible international markets.
EU and EEA citizens and Swiss nationals may work in Spain without authorisation. Licence and CAP requirements still apply.
For third country nationals the initial authorisation is assessed against the national employment situation. Your company files the application at the immigration office while the worker is still abroad, and the consular visa follows a favourable decision.
There are two ways through that test. Either the occupation appears in the Catalogue of Hard-to-Fill Occupations, which the public employment service publishes quarterly and breaks down by province, or you show that the post went unfilled through the public employment offer. Because the catalogue is provincial, the same role can pass in one province and fail in another. Drivers can check their own position through our driving licence eligibility guidance.
FastDriver.eu can provide process guidance and document coordination when a candidate needs support. It does not make government decisions and cannot promise an approval.
Licences, the CAP and Experience in Spain
State the licence category and the CAP position together. Spanish candidates read them as a pair.
Freight roles use C and C+E, with C1 and C1E for lighter rigid vehicles. Passenger transport uses D and D1, with DE and D1E where a trailer is drawn. Delivery work sits in category B.
Professional drivers need the CAP, the certificate of professional aptitude, which corresponds to code 95. It is obtained through initial qualification and maintained by periodic training, and is issued separately for goods and for passenger transport.
A digital tachograph driver card is required for in scope work and ADR training for dangerous goods. Ask for the CAP renewal date at interview, since a lapsed certificate stops a driver working even where the licence itself is valid.
Where a third country national drives for a Spanish operator on international journeys within the Union, a driver attestation may also be needed.
Experience requirements are set by operators. Port drayage looks for terminal familiarity, produce haulage for temperature discipline and export deadlines, while distribution fleets often take drivers straight from CAP training. FastDriver.eu can present candidate information, but verifying original documents remains the employer's responsibility.

Describe the schedule honestly, including nights away and weekend work, and set out pay and category under the applicable collective agreement.
Confirm the start date, and say whether you would consider candidates who need an initial authorisation, allowing for the provincial catalogue position.
Your company sets and honours the final employment terms.

Employer Responsibilities in Spain
The Spanish employer is responsible for the following.
The initial authorisation is applied for by the employer while the worker is still abroad, and the contract must guarantee continuous activity for the period of the authorisation. Because the catalogue is republished quarterly, a position that qualified last quarter may not qualify now, so check it again before you file.
FastDriver.eu does not issue any government approval.
FastDriver.eu cannot guarantee applications, candidate availability, candidate suitability, interview attendance, hiring outcomes, licence recognition, work authorisations, visas, catalogue inclusion, processing times or continued employment.
Misleading vacancy content may be removed from the platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is FastDriver.eu?
A specialised driver job portal used across Europe. Spanish employers publish driver vacancies and receive applications directly from candidates.
Is FastDriver.eu an ETT?
No. It is a job portal, not a temporary work company or recruitment agency, and it does not lease workers. Your company employs the driver directly.
Which Spanish employers can use the platform?
Legally operating transport and logistics companies, hauliers, forwarders, fleet operators, bus and coach operators, delivery and courier businesses.
Can we publish vacancies in Spanish and a co-official language?
Yes. Spanish reaches the whole domestic market, and a Catalan, Galician or Basque version is worth adding where the depot sits in those communities.
What is the CAP?
The certificate of professional aptitude, Spain's professional driver qualification. It corresponds to code 95, is issued separately for goods and passenger transport, and is maintained through periodic training.
Can we recruit drivers from other EU countries?
Yes. EU and EEA citizens and Swiss nationals may work in Spain without authorisation. Licence and CAP requirements still apply.
Can we recruit drivers from Latin America, Asia or Africa?
International drivers can find and apply for Spanish vacancies. Employment depends on the initial authorisation and visa, and on the driver holding a licence and qualification valid for use in Spain.
What is the national employment situation test?
The assessment applied to an initial authorisation. Either the occupation is in the Catalogue of Hard-to-Fill Occupations, or you must show the post went unfilled through the public employment offer.
Why does the province matter so much?
Because the catalogue is drawn up by province and republished quarterly. The same driving role can qualify in one province and not in another, and can change between quarters.
Are any nationalities exempt from the catalogue test?
Yes. Nationals of certain countries with bilateral agreements are exempt, as are some family based categories. Check the current position before assuming the test applies.
Who files the application?
Your company does, at the immigration office, while the worker is still in their country of origin. The consular visa is applied for only after a favourable decision.
Who verifies driving licences and documents?
Your company does. The platform may collect candidate information and assist with document coordination, but inspecting the originals is the employer's responsibility.
Can FastDriver.eu promote seasonal vacancies?
Yes. Promotion and employer support can be arranged ahead of the produce export season or the coastal tourism peak.
How long does it take to hire an international driver?
There is no fixed timeline. Allow for the immigration office decision, the consular visa stage and registration after arrival, and start well ahead of your intended start date.
What does it cost to use FastDriver.eu as an employer?
Options depend on the number of vacancies, the promotion level and the support you need. Terms are agreed with your company in advance.
How do we start hiring?
Submit the employer enquiry with your company details and driver requirements, or post the vacancy directly. Your team then reviews the applications and selects the driver.
