Building Engineer

About the Position

We are looking for a Building Engineer with a strong technical background who is motivated to join our Technical Department. We are seeking an organised, meticulous and solution-oriented professional with experience in site execution, quantity surveying, cost estimation and budget preparation, and a genuine interest in delivering projects where architecture, landscape and sustainability go hand in hand.

At Batlleiroig, we work to merge city and nature, designing places that enhance people’s wellbeing, respect the environment and respond to climate challenges. Our purpose is to contribute to the sustainable development of the built and natural environment, by creating places with a positive and lasting impact.

We are a multidisciplinary architecture firm where Building, Landscape and Planning work together to develop projects ranging from buildings and public spaces to large-scale urban strategies, eco-neighbourhoods and new models for cities.

Why Batlleiroig?

Because here you will work on projects unlike those you will find elsewhere. Since our foundation in 1981, we have designed unique projects for every client and context, combining innovation, sustainability and design.

You will join a practice that brings together a wide range of disciplines, scales and professional profiles: architects, landscape architects, urban planners and engineers working together from the earliest design stages. You will contribute to national and international projects across a broad range of typologies and scales.

We believe Batlleiroig’s greatest strength is its people: experienced professionals who share their knowledge, working alongside a new generation bringing energy, fresh ideas and new ways of working.

Cross-disciplinary thinking, collaboration, innovation and a commitment to excellence are among our core values.

A Workplace Designed to Work Better

You will be based at BIR Campus, a group of spaces that embodies our approach to architecture: workplaces connected to nature and designed to support wellbeing and collaboration, with showers and changing facilities for those who cycle to work or go running, and the Collserola hills just a few steps away.

BIR Campus brings together the practice’s professional work and the research promoted by the Batlleiroig–UPC Chair, creating an ecosystem of knowledge exchange and innovation. Located in Esplugues de Llobregat, the campus comprises Casa Moratiel, MF15 and the new MF01 building. Together, they provide more than 2,000 sq m of floor space, connected by outdoor areas that strengthen the relationship between architecture and nature.
