Company History

Veolia's history dates back to the creation of the Compagnie Générale des Eaux (CGE) in 1853 in France, which originally focused on water supply. Over the decades, it expanded its portfolio to include waste management, energy services, and transportation, being rebranded in 2003 as Veolia Environnement. Through a series of mergers and acquisitions, including the major synergy with Dalkia and international expansion, Veolia has solidified its role as a leader in ecological transition and the resource management sector.

For International Professionals

  • Veolia is active in Spain with a presence that spans multiple regions, offering varied opportunities from water management (Europe's leading provider) in the Canary Islands to facility and industrial maintenance nationwide.
  • The company accepts international applications and has a broad portfolio of roles including hydrogeology, industrial maintenance, engineering, and legal positions, many of which may allow relocator sponsorships for the right candidates.
  • Fluency in Spanish is essential for most operation and client-facing roles, but corporate and expert technical roles below the surface may also require advanced technical or legal English, especially for those comparing multinational references.
  • Veolia has a strong expansive training program and promotes a culture of professional growth, making it attractive for candidates looking to build a robust career in the environment and resource industries within the Iberian Peninsula.
  • With numerous regions hosting Veolia operations, specific positions can lead to relocation support or site location assignments, especially for key roles like project managers, technical engineering, and maintenance supervision in Spain.
