Aldesa is a leading global construction and infrastructure group headquartered in Madrid, specializing in civil engineering, building, renewable energy, and industrial projects.

It operates across several continents, managing complex large-scale projects ranging from high-speed rail networks to advanced data centers.

In Spain, Aldesa maintains a robust presence with offices and project sites distributed throughout the country, including Madrid, Barcelona, and Zaragoza. For international professionals, the company offers opportunities in highly specialized technical fields such as railway engineering, industrial installations, and renewable energy.
