Company History
Founded in 1858 in Gijón, Spain, as a foundry and machinery workshop, Duro Felguera grew over the decades with its industrial and engineering capabilities, particularly in the energy sector. The company completed its IPO on the Spanish stock exchange in 2006 and has since expanded its international project portfolio, focusing on turnkey engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) projects. Today it is a leading Spanish engineering firm, restructuring financially since 2021.
For International Professionals
- Base location in Gijón, a mid-sized coastal city in northern Spain, offering a high quality of life with lower housing costs than Madrid or Barcelona.
- Fluency in Spanish is essential for most positions, but the company's global project teams may offer opportunities for non-Spanish speakers.
- The company often manages projects in Latin America and North Africa, so travel or expatriate assignments may be possible for engineers.
- The company has undergone financial restructuring (concurso de acreedores) in recent years, so it is wise to check the current financial stability before considering an offer.
- Gijón has an international airport with connections to major European hubs like Madrid and London, facilitating work travel.
