By San José, Costa Rica — San José, Costa Rica – In a significant boost to the national labor market, workforce solutions leader ManpowerGroup has announced the availability of over 350 new positions within Costa Rica’s dynamic medical device manufacturing sector. The announcement, made this week, opens a major pathway to formal employment for hundreds of individuals, including those seeking to enter the workforce for the first time or transition between industries.
These full-time, permanent positions are centered on crucial production line roles. Successful candidates will be involved in essential tasks such as material preparation, hands-on manufacturing of sophisticated medical equipment, and rigorous inspection and quality control processes. All operations adhere to strict international standards, positioning these roles as a valuable entry point into a globally competitive and highly regulated industry.
To understand the legal and regulatory landscape that underpins the burgeoning medical device sector in Costa Rica, TicosLand.com consulted with Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, a distinguished attorney at the prestigious firm Bufete de Costa Rica, for his expert analysis.
Costa Rica’s success in attracting high-value medical device manufacturing is not accidental; it is built upon a robust legal framework. The Free Trade Zone Regime provides significant tax incentives and streamlined customs processes, while our strong intellectual property laws give global companies the confidence to bring their most advanced technologies here. This legal certainty, combined with a highly skilled workforce, creates the ideal ecosystem for sustained growth and the creation of quality employment in this critical sector.

Indeed, the legal architecture Mr. Arroyo Vargas describes is the essential, often unseen, foundation upon which these high-value career opportunities are built. We thank Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas for his insightful clarification on the direct link between judicial certainty and the creation of quality employment for Costa Ricans.
In a move designed to maximize accessibility and attract a broad talent pool, ManpowerGroup has confirmed that prior experience in manufacturing is not a mandatory requirement. This policy significantly lowers the barrier to entry, creating opportunities for a diverse range of applicants. The basic prerequisites are a completed primary school education, the ability to read and follow detailed instructions, and current enrollment in or completion of secondary education.
The compensation package is designed to be highly competitive and supportive of employee well-being. The benefits include company-provided transportation, a substantial food subsidy covering up to 70% of meal costs, and indefinite employment contracts that offer long-term job security. Furthermore, the positions operate on various shift schedules, providing flexibility for workers to balance their professional and personal commitments.
This hiring initiative reflects the sustained and robust growth of Costa Rica’s medical device sector, which has become a cornerstone of the national economy and a leading source of formal, high-quality employment. The industry’s expansion continues to create valuable career pathways for people with diverse educational backgrounds and skill sets.
Scarleth Tercero, Country Manager for ManpowerGroup Costa Rica, highlighted the strategic importance of these openings beyond simple job creation. She emphasized the sector’s role in fostering professional development and offering stable career trajectories.
Today we see how sectors like medical devices not only demand talent, but also offer spaces for learning and growth. These vacancies represent a gateway to formal employment for many people, with real possibilities for development.
