Barcelona – Pillar, an Italian tech company that provides construction businesses with advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, to simplify site management, has announced plans to recruit 60 new employees by the end of 2026. Having reached 100 employees last October, just one year after its launch, the company is now preparing to establish a stronger presence in Spain while expanding its teams in Milan and Barcelona, with the aim of reaching a total workforce of 160 by December. “After testing several other international markets to understand where our business model would have the most favourable conditions for replication, we chose Spain as our first international market,” said Gabriel Guinea Montalvo, CEO and co-founder of Pillar. “Spain is the market whose characteristics most closely resemble those of Italy, both in terms of the sector itself and the size of the businesses we target.” In Barcelona, where the company has opened an office with an initial team of 20 people, Pillar aims to double its workforce by the end of the year. “A company’s growth depends on the people who contribute to its development every day. At Pillar, we look for ambitious candidates with an entrepreneurial mindset, curiosity and an interest in the challenges that come with working for a fast-growing start-up,” added Guinea Montalvo. “Knowledge of the construction industry is an advantage, but it is not essential. What matters most is energy and a willingness to take on challenges and responsibilities. Our goal is to keep developing solutions that help construction companies, from the smallest businesses to the largest organisations, move forward with the digital transformation they need.” (9colonne)
