- International hires are common in engineering and project management roles, and English is often the working language in technical teams.
- The company is a key player in the European defense industry, offering exposure to high-profile, long-term naval programs (e.g., F-110 frigates, S-80 submarines).
- Relocation to Spain is typically required, as most roles are based at the shipyards in the Bay of Cádiz or the Ría de Ferrol, not in Madrid.
- Given the nature of the work, roles may require EU citizenship or nationality and security clearance (SECRETO).
