Description
:About The Role

We are looking for a hands-on technical innovation leader who can work where energy strategy becomes real infrastructure: storage, grid connection, microgrids, electrification, critical power, resilience and renewable generation. You will assess emerging technologies with rigor, shape practical use cases and lead them through testing and validation, building the evidence the business needs to decide whether to invest, scale or stop.

You will join Corporate Innovation and work across Ferrovial’s businesses: Airports, Cintra, Ferrovial Energy and Digital Infrastructure. Success in the role requires strong engineering judgement, the ability to distinguish genuine breakthroughs from incremental improvements, and the credibility to engage technical and business stakeholders alike—translating complex challenges into well-structured pilots, clear investment decisions and scalable business opportunities.





This is a unique opportunity to influence the future of infrastructure by bringing cutting-edge technologies from concept to real-world deployment across a general leader in the sector. Experience in mission-critical environments, including data centers, is a plus, but not essential.

Key Responsibilitie s
Lead energy, sustainability and resilience projects from technology identification through pilot, business case and scale-up recommendation Design and run proofs of concept with business units, OEMs, engineering partners, research centers and startups — setting your own KPIs and decision gates Bring real engineering judgment to grid connection, electrification, storage, microgrids, critical power, energy management and renewable generation infrastructure (solar and wind plants) Translate complex technical options and uncertainty into clear business cases for senior leadership Explore emerging low-carbon technologies — carbon capture and utilization, green molecules, hydrogen, e-fuels, biogenic routes — and assess their real potential Optional
