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.
