This is where freelancers and self-employed professionals (autónomos) play a vital role. With more than 3.4 million self-employed contributors in Spain, freelancers provide construction companies with the agility they need to scale teams, access specialized skills, and manage project-based workloads efficiently.
Freelancers help bridge gaps in the permanent workforce, support regional mobility, and bring expertise that is essential for modern construction projects. As Spain’s labour market continues to expand, the integration of freelance professionals will be key to ensuring that growth in the construction sector remains sustainable and competitive.
