If you want to work at ALSA, the most reliable place to start is its official careers website. ALSA has its own careers portal, and its recruitment is not limited to bus drivers. The site lists opportunities in driving, maintenance, sales, school and healthcare transport, corporate roles and scholarship programmes. The most reliable way to apply is to check the job category and location first.
This guide explains where to apply, which roles to look for, how to prepare your CV and what details to check in the job advert before applying. Kurriku is an information website: it does not manage recruitment or represent this company.
Note for applicants: vacancies, hours, conditions and links may change. Always check the official advert before sharing personal information or accepting an offer.
How to submit your CV to ALSA

What types of jobs are available at ALSA?
The portal groups jobs by professional area, which can be particularly useful if you want to move into a different area of transport or join through a training programme. Not every role requires the same licence or experience. The following are potential or company-described areas of work, not a guarantee that vacancies are currently available.

Requirements for working at ALSA
Requirements depend on the vacancy. You can use the following points to guide your application, but only the criteria published in the job advert are role requirements:
- Punctuality and a sense of responsibility, especially in service and safety roles.
- Good customer service, clear communication and the ability to deal with unexpected situations.
- Availability to work hours that fit the organisation of routes and shifts, where required by the vacancy.
- Professional licences, CAP and other accreditations only when specified for the role.
- For technical roles, relevant training in mechanics, electrical work, transport or systems.
Even if you do not have a skill described as desirable, check whether it is actually essential before ruling yourself out. Do not claim skills or licences you do not have.
Recruitment process and interviews
ALSA has a vacancies section and information about its recruitment process. Follow the specific job advert and its application steps; do not assume that handing in your CV at a ticket office is enough.
For an interview, prepare specific examples of tasks you have completed and situations involving teamwork, customer service or problem-solving, depending on your specialism. Describe the results where possible, and avoid general statements you cannot support with examples.
Hours, contract, pay and conditions
Some driving roles involve different shifts and routes; office roles may have different working arrangements. Compare the contract, work base, travel, hours, training and additional pay before accepting. Do not assume that one salary applies to all employees.
About pay: there is no single reliable public figure covering all roles. If the job advert does not include this information, ask about gross salary, working hours, additional payments, shifts and the collective bargaining agreement. Third-party estimates may be out of date or may not relate to the same role.
ALSA bus driver: what to check before applying
If you are interested in driving, check the vehicle type, route and work location carefully, and whether a category D or D+E licence, a valid CAP, experience or shift availability is required. The vacancy is the definitive source. The company also advertises training centres linked to professional specialisms; check whether any suitable training options are available for your circumstances.
How to tailor your CV for ALSA
Avoid sending the same unchanged CV for very different roles. First, select three or four skills relevant to the vacancy, place them where the recruiter can easily see them, and describe real experience, internships, courses or projects that demonstrate those skills.
- Change your professional profile headline so that it reflects the role you are applying for.
- Arrange your experience so that the most relevant experience for the role comes first.
- Include education, certificates or languages only if they are relevant and accurate.
- Check that your phone number, email address and town or city are correct.
- Save the file with a clear name and follow the format requested by the careers website.
If additional information is accepted, you can prepare a brief cover letter explaining your interest in the company and the role instead of repeating your entire CV.
Common mistakes to avoid when applying for a job
- Sending personal information to unofficial websites or unverified job adverts.
- Confusing a general description of the company with a vacancy that is currently open.
- Copying requirements from another department or country and assuming they apply in Spain.
- Submitting a CV that has not been tailored or contains information unrelated to the vacancy.
- Accepting terms without checking the role, working hours, pay and employing organisation.
