Company History

ITP Aero (Industria de Turbo Propulsores) was founded in 1989 as a subsidiary of SENER and Rolls-Royce, with roots going back to the Spanish aeronautical industry. In 2017, it became a standalone company, and in 2022, the Spanish government's state holding (SEPI) acquired a majority stake, emphasizing its strategic national role. The company has grown into a key European player in aerospace engineering and manufacturing, supporting multiple commercial and defense programs.

The company is a major employer in Spain with over 4,000 staff, often running international collaborations, so the working language frequently includes English in technical positions.
ITP Aero is a preferred site for aerospace innovation in Europe, working on advanced programs like the Rolls-Royce UltraFan, which boosts technical career growth.
The relocation package often includes support for visa processes, and the company's Basque location offers a relatively lower cost of living compared to Madrid or Barcelona, with proximity to hiking and the coast.
