To work at Metro de Madrid, you must follow the official recruitment processes announced by the company. It does not operate like a shop that accepts speculative CVs for any role: recruitment announcements may include terms and conditions, deadlines, requirements, tests and, in some cases, specific pre-selection procedures.
This guide explains how to find the official careers channel, which roles you can look for, what requirements to check, how to prepare an application, and the differences between entry-level roles and specialised positions. Listings and conditions may change after this page is published.
Please check the terms and conditions: simply sending a CV to a general email address is not enough. Before applying, check Metro’s job announcements and the requirements and stages set out for that process. The official page may block automated access, but the link is to the Metro de Madrid domain.

Metro de Madrid official careers website
The verified starting point is the Metro de Madrid careers website. From there, you can access vacancies or the relevant official procedure, rather than relying on third-party links that may be out of date.
If the careers website redirects you to another platform, check the destination domain and the process information. Kurriku does not receive CVs, represent the company or guarantee employment.
What jobs does Metro de Madrid offer?
The following profiles describe typical or advertised areas of work within the organisation. This does not mean that vacancies are currently available in all of them: availability should always be checked on the official source.
- Driving and operations: operational roles when included in a recruitment announcement.
- Customer service and station operations: duties related to customer service and the running of stations.
- Maintenance: rolling stock, facilities and technical systems.
- Engineering and technology: infrastructure, safety, data and projects.
- Administrative management: support and coordination duties, depending on the recruitment process.
Requirements for working at Metro de Madrid
Every job application is different. To avoid applying for roles that are not a good fit, pay particular attention to the following:
- Read the full terms of the recruitment announcement before starting any registration.
- Check qualifications, permits, experience and other specific requirements as of the application deadline.
- Note the deadline, required documents, assessment stages and merit-scoring system.
- Use the designated platform only for a recruitment process you are eligible to take part in.
- Do not assume that all vacancies are filled through a traditional competitive public-sector examination or that anyone can apply freely.
You cannot determine the minimum qualifications, experience, language requirements or working hours from the company name alone. A customer service role will not necessarily have the same requirements as a role in engineering, management or leadership.
Can you start without experience?
Recruitment announcements may cover different qualification levels and profiles. Some include pre-selection, tests and assessment of merits. There is no general rule guaranteeing that all vacancies are open to candidates without experience or that simply registering when a vacancy opens is enough.
If you are starting out, highlight training projects, internships, volunteering and transferable skills. Explain what you did and what you specifically contributed. Do not claim that a role does not require experience unless the current vacancy says so.
Where to find official Metro de Madrid recruitment announcements
Metro's careers section publishes notices and documents for recruitment processes. The Community of Madrid also links to the recruitment processes section of Metro de Madrid S. A. Each announcement may specify different application routes.
Always check the process number or title, role, terms, requirements, timetable and any amendments. Information published by blogs or third parties should not replace the official announcement.
Pre-selection, tests and assessment of merits
In some procedures, recruitment is organised in stages: pre-selection, an objective test and assessment of merits. The specific process is described in its terms and may include conditions for accessing the platform.
An external recruitment platform may be available exclusively to pre-selected applicants. Being able to open a website does not mean that you have been admitted or can apply for any role.
Documents and monitoring deadlines
Recruitment processes may publish provisional and final lists, deadlines for submitting representations, results and notices of further stages. Missing a deadline may prevent you from continuing even if you meet the educational requirements.
Keep a copy of the announcement, terms and application receipt. Check for updates on the official website rather than relying on forwarded messages or screenshots without context.
How to prepare for a technical or operational role
Service needs may include maintenance of rolling stock and facilities, customer service, driving, engineering or technology. Each category requires specific knowledge and, in some cases, qualifications.
Structure your CV to include your qualifications, relevant experience, permits and genuine certifications. If the process includes an objective test, consult the syllabus, test details and bibliography only in the official documents; do not buy materials advertised as compulsory without checking.
Pay and working conditions at Metro de Madrid
There is no single salary for all roles at Metro de Madrid. Pay, job category, working hours, shifts and supplements vary according to the role and applicable regulations. Check the recruitment terms and official information about the collective bargaining agreement and working conditions.
When comparing opportunities, also check the contract type, gross annual or monthly salary, how pay is divided across instalments, actual working hours, shifts, travel and allowances. If figures are not published, it is better to ask during the recruitment process than to rely on an estimate with no sources.
Tips for preparing a stronger application
- Identify the exact role, location and hiring company; save the vacancy link.
- Tailor your CV headline and the first work experience entries to the duties listed.
- Describe specific achievements or tasks, but never include qualifications, licences or skills you do not have.
- Check that you can meet the availability, language, travel and working-hours requirements.
- Check your email address and phone number before submitting the form.
- Keep the registration confirmation, terms and any deadlines.
If the employer allows you to include an additional message with your CV, you can prepare a brief cover letter. Explain which role you are applying for, why you are interested in it and what experience or skills you would bring, without repeating your entire CV.
How to spot genuine job vacancies and communications
Avoid offers that promise an immediate start without explaining the role, ask for payment to reserve a place, or request passwords and bank details without explaining why they are needed. Always check the vacancy on the company’s domain or on a platform linked from it.
If there is a deadline to register, submit documents or respond to a job offer, make sure you meet it. Messages received by email, phone or social media do not replace the official terms, vacancy details or contract.
