What You’ll Do
- Develop and grow our key railway accounts in Spain, becoming the partner they call first
- Hunt new business with Spanish engineering companies and the Iberian offices of major railway players
- Know the market inside out and show up where it happens: events, trade fairs and industry forums




- Shape business development plans and market propositions, and turn leads into deals through compelling proposals, RFP responses and negotiation
- Tell our story with confidence through presentations and capability demonstrations across engineering, systems, software, AI, cybersecurity and safety
- Work closely with our engineering teams and product managers to build proposals that fit what clients really need

- Solid experience in the railway industry in Spain
- A strong network among rolling stock, signalling and railway engineering players
- Proven track record in business development or sales within engineering services, software/systems engineering or digital transformation
