The boss
and his project
What has been involved in the project?
The project was divided into two contracts:
one for the bridge, and one for the railway
access. During nearly the entire project, I
have been in charge of the railway approa-
ches but since Julio Ruiz left to work at the
Gerald Desmond Bridge, I am in charge of
the entire project.
What has this experience meant for you?
Professionally, it was a great challenge.
This is my first project outside Spain and
the first time that I work in another langua-
ge, with another type of contract, with new
people, in a different country. It has been a
rewarding experience.
On the personal level, it has been a great
experience that has changed my live. I arri-
ved five and a half years ago, I improved
my English, I got married, and now I have
a daughter.
What were the greatest difficulties?
This is a major project. Two different con-
tracts in a country that we did not know. A
country with another work mentality where
you are not working 100% when you arri-
ve. You have to recycle, learn something
new, try to improve and compensate for
