About the company

Ocean Ecostructures is a Barcelona-based “bluetech” company focused on restoring marine biodiversity around working infrastructure like ports, marinas, and offshore assets. The company’s flagship Bio Boosting System combines biomimetic micro-reefs with robotics and AI-enabled monitoring and reporting. Ocean Ecostructures says the mission is to restore marine ecosystems at scale, with a stated goal of revitalising up to 20,000 marine spaces by 2030. Recent reporting also links Ocean Ecostructures to growth projects with ports and large infrastructure operators, alongside a €3m funding round to expand internationally.

Locations and presence

Ocean Ecostructures is headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, and public hiring posts point to Barcelona-based roles with hybrid elements. Public coverage also describes international expansion plans, starting with the Middle East.

Palpable Score

40.0

/ 100

Ocean Ecostructures looks like a fast-growing, mission-led startup, but early-career entry points are not visible in current hiring. The company’s job descriptions are fairly concrete, yet pay transparency and trackable early-career outcomes are mostly missing from public sources.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

4.0

/ 20

The company’s visible commercial vacancy is framed for an experienced hire, with “minimum 5 years” of B2B sales experience for a Business Development role.
Ocean Ecostructures does not publish internships, graduate roles, apprenticeships, or junior titles on the company website at the time of review.
The company’s recent growth news mentions a team “over 20 people,” but there is no evidence of recurring 0–3 year hiring pathways.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

12.0

/ 20

The company’s Business Development posting lists specific responsibilities (prospecting, proposals, market analysis, project support) rather than vague “wear many hats” language.
Ocean Ecostructures sets clear requirements in the posting (languages, driving licence, travel expectations, degree preference), which helps candidates self-select.
The company does not publish interview stages, timeline expectations, or assessment load, so the process transparency stops at the job-description level.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

9.0

/ 20

The company includes a “professional development plan” in the Business Development job offer, which is a direct learning-and-growth signal.
Ocean Ecostructures describes close collaboration between commercial and scientific teams in the role, which can create real learning-through-exposure for earlier-career hires who join.
The company does not publicly describe onboarding, mentoring, 1:1 cadence, or training budgets, so support quality cannot be verified beyond brief job-ad claims.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

7.7

/ 20

The company offers a permanent contract (“contrato indefinido”) for the Business Development role, which is a stability positive compared with repeated short contracts.
Ocean Ecostructures describes pay as “competitive depending on experience,” but does not publish salary bands or benefits details in the posting.
The company has no salary submissions visible on Glassdoor for specific roles, which keeps compensation transparency low for early-career candidates.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

6.3

/ 20

The company has effectively no review volume on Glassdoor, so there is no reliable public evidence on early-career retention, progression quality, or manager effectiveness.
Ocean Ecostructures has a strong growth narrative in recent reporting (a €3m round and plans to scale deployments), but growth does not equal proven junior outcomes without promotion or retention signals.
The company’s LinkedIn footprint shows active hiring announcements, but public profiles do not provide enough consistent evidence of junior-to-mid progression over 12–24 months.
