Esselunga opens a new branch in Brianza, with 70 jobs on the way: here's how to apply.

Monza – The job market in the Monza and Brianza area is enriched by a significant new opportunity: Esselunga is about to open a new store in Novedrate , with the expected hiring of 70 new employees . After months of anticipation and speculation, the arrival of the large-scale retail giant now seems imminent.

The announcement of the opening is nothing new: it was already announced last February, culminating in a job day organized in March. However, in recent weeks, concrete signs have emerged confirming the opening is approaching. Along Via Provinciale , where Carrefour once stood, the characteristic signs with the Esselunga logo have appeared, leaving little room for doubt about the ongoing transformation.

The choice of Novedrate is no coincidence: the new store represents a strategic opening for the Milanese company. Located on the border with Brianza and in the southern part of the province of Como , the store is well-connected and has a significant catchment area.

Although an official opening date hasn't been announced yet (it's rumored to be a few months away), Esselunga has already begun recruiting. Currently, the most valuable position is sales assistant in the fresh produce department , which encompasses several specializations: butcher, delicatessen, fishmonger, and bakery.

An interesting aspect of the job offer concerns the onboarding phase : "While waiting for the opening of the new Novedrate store, the selected candidate will work for several months within the existing Esselunga stores ," the company explains. This approach ensures continuity of employment and on-the-job training right from the start.

Esselunga offers a structured program that includes hands-on learning through mentoring with experienced colleagues , complemented by classroom training sessions specific to the skills required for the role. The candidate will be responsible for several key activities:

• processing and transformation of raw materials in the fresh departments,
• logistics management of the point of sale , including product storage and display activities,
• assistance and customer service , a key element of the Esselunga experience,
• monitoring of safety standards and compliance with regulations (including HACCP).

Anyone interested in job opportunities at the new store should regularly monitor the company's official website and application platforms.
