As a Spanish state-owned company, it offers international professionals the opportunity to work in a highly technical, engineering-driven environment with a strong focus on naval architecture, systems integration, and defense innovation.

Good to know if you are moving

State-owned company: offers the stability and benefits of a public-sector employer, with a formal, structured HR environment.
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).
