About the Role We are looking for an expert in Infrastructure Engineering with strong expertise in passive telecom sector, responsible for driving the industrialization, standardization, and continuous improvement of infrastructure engineering practices across all countries. The role will act as a technical authority and coordination point, supporting country teams in defining and deploying common engineering standards, processes, methodologies, and templates, ensuring consistency, efficiency, and scalability across the Cellnex footprint. In addition, the role will provide technical support in asset management, inventory quality improvement, procurement processes, and operational analytics, enabling data‐driven decision making and best‐practice benchmarking.
The role will support the IRIS (Digital Twin) program by leading the development and evolution of high‐fidelity digital representations of physical telecom assets, such as towers, rooftops, and antenna systems, enabling advanced structural analysis, lifecycle performance management, and the integration of real‐time operational data into Cellnex's digital twin platforms.
At the same time, the position acts as a transversal technical reference, combining deep expertise in passive infrastructure and structural engineering with strong project management, BIM/digital twin implementation capabilities, and cross‐country coordination, working closely with local engineering, operations, and procurement teams to ensure consistent, data‐driven, and scalable infrastructure engineering practices across the entire footprint.
Responsibilities Assess, harmonise and industrialise passive engineering criteria, modelling practices and structural assessment processes across regions.
Define and maintain the Passive Engineering Guidelines.
Lead the definition of group‐wide technical infrastructure requirements and introduce a limited set of scalable typologies adoptable across all Cellnex markets, ensuring repeatability, cross‐country compatibility and cost efficiency.
Provide expert support for passive engineering processes, guaranteeing knowledge in all countries and assisting in the application of these concepts to standards.
Support countries in BTS engineering definition parameters and drivers for new opportunities.
Collaborate with country counterparts to align on uniform engineering criteria, modelling practices and structural assessment processes.
Ensure consistent implementation of group‐wide engineering methodologies and quality standards.
Develop and maintain accurate, real‐world 3D standard models of telecom structures, including towers, rooftop installations, and support frames.
Incorporate material properties, load‐bearing data and precise geometric information into all infrastructure standard models.
Analyse new materials and solutions in passive telecom infrastructure, homologate these solutions and support their integration in the countries.
Harmonise the sensor solution for passive infrastructure, integrate sensor data (e.g., strain gauges, tilt meters, vibration sensors) into digital twins to monitor real‐time structural performance.
Support data analysis to detect early signs of fatigue, corrosion or structural deformation and recommend reinforcements, upgrades or replacements based on performance and risk assessment.
Run simulations to understand how structures perform under stressors such as wind, seismic activity and equipment loading.
Support predictive maintenance strategies by identifying high‐risk components and failure‐prone areas before issues arise.
Ensure all structural components meet local/national building codes, telecom regulations, internal H&S and ESG policies.
Provide support to structural integrity assessment when relevant modifications are introduced, e.g., installation of heavy equipment.
Qualifications Education Degree in Civil or Structural Engineering; Master's degree in Structures strongly valued.
Formal education or certified training in BIM Management, Digital Construction or BuiltTech disciplines highly valued.
