Industrial engineering and infrastructure services across energy, utilities, and renewables
Grupo Cobra is a 20,500-person industrial services company operating in 43 countries, with core strength in grid maintenance and renewable energy projects. The tech stack—SAP, Oracle Primavera, SCADA, SQL—reflects a traditional capital-project ERP footprint typical of infrastructure operators. Active hiring is concentrated in engineering (19 roles) and operations, with mid-to-senior seniority mix, signaling scaling of project delivery capacity rather than product innovation. Pain points around permit management, schedule deviation, and large-contract administration point to a company managing complexity at scale across multiple geographies.
Grupo Cobra delivers specialized engineering, installation, and maintenance services for critical infrastructure: electrical distribution networks, gas and water systems, telecommunications, HVAC, mechanical assembly, and renewable energy projects. The company operates four business lines—Networks (70+ years in grid maintenance), Specialized Installations (high-voltage, telecom, nuclear decommissioning), Integrated Projects (EPC for power and water), and Renewable Energy—serving both public and private clients across Spain, Latin America, and 41 other countries. With 20,500 employees and 80+ years of operational history, Grupo Cobra functions as an integrated service provider covering the full project lifecycle from engineering and procurement through construction and commissioning.
SAP and Oracle for ERP, Oracle Primavera for project management, SCADA for industrial control, SQL for data, and Microsoft 365 suite for productivity and collaboration.
