Origins
SEG originated in Spain at the beginning of the 1980s, an important time as our country was beginning the process of joining what was initially called the EEC. Prior to that founding, several engineers who later became part of SEG had already started their professional careers, beginning to build their professional reputation that they later incorporated into our companies.
Modernization
Those years at the end of the 20th century were years of intense work to modernize the country, with SEG focusing on the development of road, rail, and airport projects that contributed to improving much-needed infrastructure.
Investment
With the arrival of the 21st century, in addition to addressing the growing need for infrastructure and the increase in public investment, we began a period of international expansion , characterized by unique projects. Projects were developed in countries such as Italy, Morocco, Angola, and Romania.
Infrastructure
During this period in Spain, one of the times with the greatest public investment in infrastructure occurred, enabling SEG to participate in several of the most significant programs or projects in Spain’s history, such as airport expansion plans, high-speed rail, metro extensions in major cities, highways, motorways, the implementation of penitentiary centers and hospitals, or the improvement in the integrated water cycle management.
Expansion
After the initial years of this century, that initial seed of international expansion began to consolidate, and different branches were established in Latin American countries, with a strong desire on our part to contribute our experience to the emblematic projects being developed in the great American continent. And we opened offices in Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Chile, Argentina… these were years of strong international activity for our companies.
Advances
This period leads to our current reality: SEG has more than 40 years of existence, a permanent presence in more than 14 countries, with over 3,000 successful references in the fields of civil engineering and architecture, and with a desire for much more. Above all, with a desire to be part of the change that this sector of engineering and architecture is experiencing and in which we want to be an active part.
Mission, Vision, and Values
Mission
Our mission is to design, plan, control, and ensure the highest quality of all types of works and constructions, both technically and in terms of deadlines and costs, to provide excellent service to our clients, both public and private.

Our Team
We have a large team of professionals in a wide variety of areas, as well as an extensive network of collaborators who bring us value in very specific fields.
Our purpose from yesterday remains just as relevant today—and will continue to be in the future: we want our clients to feel that their investments are in good hands, that every peso, euro, or dollar invested in a project makes sense and is necessary. The excitement of bringing a project to life deserves complete trust in the partner who walks with you through the process—whether in the time of ideas and design or during construction. That’s what we aim to inspire in our clients: absolute confidence that we will protect their interests and their investment.
From our organization, we remain faithful to the Project we embarked on: to grow our Engineering Group, providing quality services with very high added value.
Our areas of expertise increasingly cover a wider field of action, and we have a very balanced human team in terms of experience and youth, which has made it possible to develop the digital and technological transformation of our work.
SEG is a civil engineering company whose main activities focus on airports, railways, roads, water supply and sanitation, large-scale building projects, and ports. These projects cover the design, construction, and operation phases, as well as Project Management frameworks. Our range of work includes feasibility studies, preliminary designs, full projects, geotechnical and environmental studies, risk assessments, expropriation documentation, economic feasibility analyses, construction management, site supervision, independent engineering, and expert reports.
Our History: Over 40 years of experience, 2,700 successfully completed projects, 700 clients across three continents, and… we’re on to the fourth! We embrace the responsibility of continuing the path others started, working every day with professionalism, dedication, and enthusiasm, while growing as individuals. Earning our clients’ trust is our greatest challenge.
Just like in life itself, engineering presents us with very interesting challenges every day where we also always want to give our best. Challenges motivate us, help us grow, and push us to build a team, something fundamental for us. Many things about my work motivate me, among which I would especially highlight the support I receive from the company’s management, knowing that from my area I contribute to the company growing and being a little better every day.
Human Resources Administration Financial Department.
From the financial department of the SEG group, we embrace the culture of dynamism, change, and digital transformation proposed by the organization.

From our new internal organization model, we coordinate all our international branches and subsidiaries through effort and the creation of new applications that improve our control and efficiency for each team member, always with a view to new improvement processes.
Corporate Social Responsibility
SEG believes that committing to business ethics is absolutely essential for its activity, which should not be limited to strict compliance with legislation, but should extend to excellence in its performance and be subject to a series of values and principles that must govern any of its actions.
THE SEG CODE IDENTIFIES THE STANDARD OF CONDUCT THAT ITS MEMBERS MUST OBSERVE IN THEIR PERFORMANCE AND BUSINESS ACTIVITY, SETTING OUT THE PRINCIPLES AND VALUES OF BUSINESS BEHAVIOR, AS WELL AS THE EXPRESS AND PUBLIC COMMITMENT OF THE SEG GROUP TO THEM.
The intended consequence of the Code is that its members and Stakeholders – administrators, employees, managers, collaborators, suppliers, advisors, and clients of SEG – (hereinafter all of them, “SEG stakeholders”) know it and commit to its content.
Since 2022, SEG has been a member of the Global Compact, establishing a firm commitment to the 10 universal principles on human rights, labor standards, the environment, and the fight against corruption. Therefore, our strategy is oriented towards contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Compliance
SEG believes that committing to business ETHICS is absolutely essential for its activity, which should not be limited to strict compliance with legislation, but should extend to excellence in its performance and be subject to a series of values and principles that must govern any of its actions.
The SEG Code of Conduct identifies the behavior that its members must observe in their performance and business activity, setting out the principles and values of business behavior, as well as SEG’s express and public commitment to them.
In addition, it has established a Whistleblowing Channel as a tool for both employees and stakeholders to communicate with the organization on matters related to compliance.
SEG has a Compliance Committee, reporting directly to the Board of Directors, which analyzes any complaint received through the Whistleblowing Channel in a completely confidential manner.
