Planning Engineer

We are looking for a Site Planner who wants to play a key role in delivering complex infrastructure and railway projects on the ground.

In this position, you will be the link between planning and execution — making sure what is planned in the office truly reflects what is happening on site. Your work will directly influence how projects are delivered, how risks are managed, and how successfully milestones are achieved.

You will work closely with site teams in Civil Works, Systems Installation, and Testing, while also collaborating with the Planning Team at CAF Headquarters in Spain. This is a highly dynamic role that combines technical planning expertise with real on-site impact.
