What Mota-Engil Perú S.A. does

Mota-Engil Perú S.A. is a Lima-based engineering and construction firm operating as the Peruvian subsidiary of Portuguese multinational Grupo Mota-Engil, which itself operates in 28 countries. The company runs four operating lines: infrastructure, buildings, technical specialties (foundations and geotechnics), and environmental services. Founded in the early 1990s, it has accumulated over 30 years of execution history in the Peruvian market.

The firm delivers projects for large enterprise and public-sector clients across mining (Antamina), energy (CELEPSA), oil & gas (PetroPerú), regional government (Gobierno Regional de Puno), and real estate development (Inversiones La Rioja, Orient-Express Perú). Its technical specialties arm is supported by LABMEP, a central laboratory accredited by INACAL (Peru's national quality institute) for 38 test methods, providing a quality-controlled input for geotechnical and foundation work.

Mota-Engil Perú generates revenue through project-based contracts, including consortium-led infrastructure awards such as the PTAR Puerto Maldonado wastewater treatment plant contract awarded in late 2025. The firm employs approximately 1,604 people in Peru. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grupo Mota-Engil, the company does not raise capital independently and does not publish standalone financials.
