Ferrovial announced changes to its construction division's leadership team. Pepe Baraja has been appointed CEO for the U.S. and Canada, reporting to Ferrovial Construction CEO Ignacio Gastón. Baraja replaces Angel Luis Sanchez, who was promoted to serve a global role as Major Projects and Operations Director. Ferrovial's construction division is a key pillar in its value creation, providing end-to-end technical, engineering, and production capabilities to deliver complex projects.

The company prepares for its next phase of growth as infrastructure investment strengthens in the U.S. As Major Projects and Operations Director, Sanchez defines strategy and directs bidding, budgeting, forecasting, and performance reviews of major projects. Additionally, Sanchez oversees their project controls, operations structures, and global workforce planning. Sanchez has been with the company for 35 years, holding several leadership positions within the construction division.

Baraja now oversees all ongoing projects and business development activities in North America as Ferrovial intensifies its efforts in the U.S. Baraja first joined the company in 2002 and has led many complex projects. Most recently, Baraja served as chief operating officer for the U.S. and Canada, involved with key projects such as the New Terminal One at JFK International Airport in New York and the Ontario Line in Toronto.
