Engineering and architecture firm scaling renewable energy and industrial infrastructure projects globally
Grupotec is a multidisciplinary engineering and architecture firm founded in 1997, headquartered in Valencia with ~700 employees across Spain and the UK. The company has developed over 3,000 MW of photovoltaic capacity and operates 1,000 MW in service. Tech stack centers on enterprise CAD (AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks) and simulation tools (PVSyst, HEC-RAS, Presto) typical of large-scale infrastructure design — no cloud migration or ML tooling evident. Hiring remains engineering-heavy (engineering and construction roles comprise 81% of open positions) with steady mid-to-senior level recruitment, suggesting stable project throughput rather than rapid scaling.
Grupotec delivers engineering and architecture services for renewable energy, industrial infrastructure, and construction clients across Europe. The business is anchored in photovoltaic system design and permitting, with expanding offerings in water, industrial logistics, data center infrastructure, and energy efficiency. Current project work spans detailed engineering for PV installations in the UK, industrial building design, earthworks optimization, and logistics platform construction. Pain points cluster around cost control, safety compliance, and project delivery timelines — typical constraints for engineering-to-contract operations with fixed margins.
CAD tools (AutoCAD, Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks), simulation software (PVSyst, HEC-RAS, Presto), and enterprise systems (SAP, Microsoft 365). No cloud analytics or AI platforms in current use.
Photovoltaic projects in the UK (including Telford), industrial building design, food sector projects, logistics platform construction, and earthworks optimization studies. The firm also handles sanitation infrastructure and road design work.
