Infrastructure decisions made at concept and design stages lock in decades of maintenance costs and operational risks. Programs that treat infrastructure operations and maintenance as a downstream concern inherit systems that are more costly to operate and fail more often.
The idóneo candidate brings senior, hands‑on experience across the full lifecycle of high-speed and conventional rail infrastructure: planning, design, construction, testing and commissioning, and long-term operation and maintenance. Prior experience acting as technical authority or shadow operator, representing Infrastructure O&M; interests inside design and construction decisions.
Responsibilities
- Leads infrastructure strategy and technical review for high-speed and conventional rail programs, from concept through commissioning.
- Acts as technical authority and shadow operator.
- Represents infrastructure operations and maintenance interests in design and construction decisions.
- Directs the development of infrastructure maintenance concepts, rules, and OPEX models for track, systems, stations,



and infrastructure maintenance facilities.
- Reviews designs and technical proposals for infrastructure constructability, maintainability, and lifecycle cost, identifying risks.
- Leads infrastructure value engineering across subsystems: civil works, track, energy, signalling, and control systems.
- Supports infrastructure testing and commissioning planning, and the technical handover of infrastructure from construction to operations.
- Coordinates multidisciplinary and multicultural teams across international programs.
- Interfaces directly with client leadership, planners, and designers to align infrastructure decisions with long‑term operational constraints.
- Contributes to bid development and technical proposals for new infrastructure and O&M; opportunities.
- Mentors engineering and infrastructure O&M; staff. Trains internal resources, as well as partners and third parties on infrastructure maintena
