Build Your Career in a Collaborative and Cross-Functional Team

Wednesday, May 5, 2021

Most companies in the infrastructure sector maintain separate businesses for highways, rail and other modes of transport. But, of course, the real world doesn’t work that way.

A rail traveller might have started their journey by driving to the station. A well-maintained road system and convenient, ample parking will be as important as an efficient and reliable rail network to that person on that day.

They could equally start or complete their journey by cycling – hopefully along a safe cycling route that is fully segregated from road traffic, or by bus.

In the real world, transport infrastructure doesn’t exist separately. It is an integrated and interconnected system and becoming more so. Highways and rail networks frequently intersect or run close together. That’s why Osborne’s approach is multidisciplinary.

Knowing how to work safely in different types of live environment and an in-depth understanding of processes, constraints and regulations across different types of infrastructure is often what makes our project solutions more efficient and innovative.

A Better Way of Working

This approach has benefited our clients across many projects including multi-modal transport hubs, overbridges, Access for All upgrades, modular parking solutions and safe cycle routes. Sharing expertise brings fresh thinking to all projects, even if they are focused on a single mode of transport such as rail or highways.

It also brings unique opportunities to our employees and recruits. Working within the Osborne Infrastructure team offers the opportunity to experience a wide range of projects, challenges and modes of transport. It also gives you exposure to diverse skill sets and expertise that will help you on your learning journey and enhance your problem-solving skills.

Transport infrastructure is becoming increasingly interconnected and digitally-enabled. Building your career in a collaborative and cross-functional environment offers a greater insight into how the industry is changing across the board. It opens many more potential pathways for your future career.

And it’s not just our employees who value this approach. Our Infrastructure business is growing rapidly with a healthy pipeline of over £1bn in programmed projects. We’re looking for ambitious and adaptable people who will thrive in our way of working to help bring those projects to fruition.
