If you want to work at Baleària, you can explore the career opportunities the ferry company advertises for both onboard and shore-based roles, as well as work placements. The official careers website separates these options, making it easier to find the right one for your education and experience.
Working on a passenger ship does not necessarily require the same qualifications as managing bookings, port operations, marketing or onshore maintenance. This guide distinguishes between these two areas and explains where to submit your CV.
Two career paths: on its careers website, Baleària lists onboard and onshore roles, as well as internships and the option to submit your CV if no suitable vacancy is available.
How to submit your CV to Baleària
The recommended first step is to check Baleària’s official careers website and follow the instructions for each vacancy. Vacancies, requirements and deadlines may change without notice.
- Visit the official careers section and select the area or location you are interested in.
- Check that the position is open and review the requirements, duties, working hours and application deadline.
- Tailor the professional profile in your CV to the position without claiming skills you do not have.
- Complete the form or application by following the employer’s instructions.
- Keep the recruitment reference and follow up on communications through official channels.
If you need to improve your document before applying, read how to write a CV. It is not advisable to include identity documents, bank details or sensitive information that is not needed at the first stage.
Official careers website and vacancies
Official careers website: view Baleària opportunities. Always check that the role is in the country and area where you want to work. An active careers website does not mean there are vacancies in your city right now.
Kurriku is an independent information website: it does not recruit staff, accept CVs on behalf of the company or confirm whether a vacancy is still open. The definitive requirements are those published by the organisation for each recruitment process.
What jobs does Baleària offer?
There are a variety of teams and professional levels. The following are areas presented by the organisation or related to its activities; they should not be taken as a list of vacancies that are always open:
- Onboard: deck, engine, passenger services, customer service and catering roles, depending on the vacancies advertised.
- Terminals and ports: passenger service agents, port operations and traffic coordination.
- Administration and management: maritime transport, invoicing and bookings.
- Marine engineering and maintenance: inspections, workshops and technical roles.
- Sales, technology, marketing and HR: support roles and central services.
Requirements for working at Baleària
There is no single set of requirements that applies to every vacancy. When choosing a position and preparing your application, pay particular attention to the following:
- For onboard roles, check the maritime certificates, qualifications, endorsements and documents required in the vacancy.
- Availability to work on board, shifts or travel when required for the role.
- Language skills and a customer-focused approach for certain passenger service and international customer service roles.
- Administrative, logistics or technical qualifications for onshore roles where required.
- Read the home port, work location, contract duration and type carefully for each vacancy.
The required education, languages, experience, licences and skills are those listed in the official job description. Do not rely on expired adverts or conditions for a different role.
Can you work at Baleària with no experience?
Baleària advertises internship opportunities and, in its onboard listings, trainee deck and engine officer roles. Eligibility depends on the training centre, maritime studies and legal requirements specified in each advert; there is no general guarantee of employment with no experience.
If you do not yet have work experience, you can give more prominence to your education, vocational training, internships, projects, languages and skills that you can demonstrate. A clear CV is more useful than claiming abilities without examples.
Jobs on board Baleària’s ships
The onboard category includes roles in navigation, engine departments, passenger services and catering. The company has advertised roles such as marine engineer, deck cadet, passenger services assistant, cook and medical staff for certain services. Their requirements differ.
If you want to work on board, check the specific qualifications or seafarer documents required, as well as the shift pattern and port. General experience in hospitality or customer service is not enough to take on regulated maritime duties.
Onshore jobs: ports, offices and logistics
Onshore roles include operations coordination, maritime transport, accounting, sales management and marketing. Some jobs are based in Dénia, while others are at ports in mainland Spain and the islands; vacancies vary according to business needs.
In your CV, include experience in passenger services, terminal operations, logistics or booking systems if you have it. Always check for rotating shifts when mentioned in the vacancy.
Speculative applications and internships
Baleària offers an option to submit your CV when you cannot find a vacancy suited to your profile. This lets you express your interest, but does not guarantee a call. Select your preferred area and clearly describe your qualifications and availability.
For internships, check the available options and any potential training agreements separately. An internship is not the same as a crew vacancy requiring specific qualifications.
Pay and working conditions at Baleària
Pay and benefits depend on the collective agreement, job category, type of work on board, working hours and role. A deck officer’s position should not be compared directly with a passenger services agent or administrator role. The company mentions training and development programmes, as well as a flexible benefits scheme; check the vacancy for specific conditions.
It is also important to compare the working hours and schedule with your travel options and other commitments. If the advert does not state a salary figure, ask about the conditions as the recruitment process progresses rather than relying on estimates from unofficial websites.
How to prepare a CV for Baleària
Your CV should match the advertised role. Applying for an operational position, a management role or a student programme calls for different information. This final check can help before you submit your application:
- Make clear whether you are applying for an onboard or onshore role.
- Include valid maritime certificates when required for the role.
- Mention languages and passenger service or booking experience when relevant.
- Check the port or work location and shift arrangements.
- If there are no suitable vacancies, use the official speculative application option.
If the application process allows you to attach an additional explanation, you can read our guide to writing a cover letter. The letter should give specific reasons why you are interested in the vacancy, rather than simply repeating your entire CV.
