Ferrovial is included in globally recognized sustainability indices such as the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Index. We operate in more than 15 countries and have a workforce of over 22,000 professionals worldwide. Ferrovial's activity is carried out through our business units, including Highways, Airports, Construction, and Energy.

Location: Heathrow Airport
Reporting to: Project Senior HSW advisor
Ferrovial Construction has been working at Heathrow Airport for over 15 years delivering some of the most complex infrastructure projects to high quality, safety and environmental standards. We have focused on design and build projects with a mix of contractual arrangements. This has enabled us to refine our management procedures in response to Heathrow's Employers Requirements and Ferrovial Construction own internal management systems.
Since joining Heathrow's framework, Ferrovial Construction has delivered a variety of airside and landside projects across the whole airport. For example, we have delivered new taxiways and rehabilitated existing taxiways and the southern runway. We have also redeveloped sterile and grass areas and replaced critical assets, such as fire main, fuel main and HV ducts. We are currently working alongside Heathrow to rehabilitate assets whose design life has expired and on the planning of a runway resurfacing project.
We are constantly designing and planning our works around critical assets and engaging with different key stakeholders in order to deliver Heathrow value for money.
