Grupo SANJOSE

What Grupo SANJOSE does

Grupo SANJOSE is a Spanish publicly-traded construction and infrastructure group founded in 1962 and headquartered in Pontevedra, Spain, with main operating offices in Madrid. The group operates through four primary business lines: Constructora (general construction, civil engineering, and infrastructure), Energía y Medio Ambiente (renewable energy development and environmental projects), Concesiones y Servicios (PPP concessions including hospitals, toll roads, and energy asset operations), and GSJ Solutions (project management consulting). It serves government and public-sector clients as well as private developers and corporations, with active operations in more than 20 countries across Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, and a project portfolio that includes the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Madrid-Barajas Terminal T-4, Mandarin Oriental Ritz Madrid, and Chilean hospital concessions.

The group's core technology stack rests on a proprietary 'construcción racionalizada' (rationalized construction) methodology developed internally in the 1970s for rapid build cycles, combined with BIM-based project information management. Revenue is generated predominantly through project-based contracts awarded via competitive public tenders and direct corporate negotiation, with a recurring managed-services tail from PPP concessions (notably two hospitals totaling 766 beds in Chile) and renewable energy operations including 90 MW of wind in Uruguay and 142 MW of solar at Madrid-Barajas Airport. Carlos Casado S.A., a majority-owned subsidiary founded in 1909 and separately listed on the Buenos Aires and New York stock exchanges, contributes 254,000 hectares of agricultural and livestock operations in the Paraguayan Chaco.

Grupo SANJOSE ranks 161st in the ENR Top International Contractors and is placed among the 100 largest global construction companies in Deloitte's 2024 Global Powers of Construction study. The group has accumulated an extensive awards portfolio across 1994–2026, including RIBA Stirling Prize 2006 (Madrid-Barajas T-4), MIPIM 2025 Best New Megaproject (Complejo Entrecampos, Lisbon), and multiple Europa Nostra, MEED, and Condé Nast Traveler recognitions. The Rey family retains significant leadership: Jacinto Rey González as Executive Chairman, Jacinto Rey Laredo and Javier Rey Laredo as First and Second Vice Presidents, and José Luis González Rodríguez as CEO. The group went public on the Spanish Stock Exchange on July 20, 2009.
