About the plant
BILLA's Modletice site is a three-nave chilled warehouse for fruit, vegetables, dairy and fresh produce covering 15,392 m², built between September 2013 and May 2014 with a two-storey administrative block and extended parking.
It sits in the same village as Kaufland's central warehouse and HOPI's Jažlovice site, which has made Modletice a small logistics cluster with its own worker-accommodation market.
What it pays
BILLA does not publish a warehouse wage table, but the advert data is consistent and the chain raises pay annually through collective bargaining.

Can I apply directly instead of through an agency?
If you are already legally resident in Czechia, yes — apply on the company careers page. From outside the EU it is much harder, because a direct application rarely covers employee card sponsorship, and that is the part an agency arranges.
