Infrastructure contractor specializing in utilities, telecom, and transport networks
BESIX Unitec builds and manages large-scale infrastructure projects across utilities, telecom, roads, railways, and waterways. The tech stack reveals a hybrid operations model: heavy CAD and BIM for design (AutoCAD, Enterprise Architect), industrial control systems for site management (Siemens TIA Portal, WinCC OA, VTScada), and emerging data tooling (BigQuery, Python, Power BI, Microsoft Fabric) to address reported data quality gaps and compliance tracking. Hiring leans construction (50% of openings) with mid-level dominance, while pain points cluster around safety/environmental compliance and process optimization rather than digital transformation.
BESIX Unitec operates as a turnkey infrastructure contractor delivering utilities networks, telecom systems, and technical installations along transport corridors in Europe and Australia. The company manages complex, multi-year civil projects (Oosterweel connection, canal tunnels, viaducts) and operates a substantial on-site workforce across construction, engineering, and operations roles. Active pain points include compliance traceability, energy optimization, recycled-aggregate tracking, and planning bottleneck mitigation—challenges typical of scaled construction operations managing regulatory and operational complexity.
CAD (AutoCAD, Enterprise Architect), BIM, industrial controls (Siemens TIA Portal, WinCC OA, VTScada), CMMS, ERP (Dynamics NAV), and data analytics (BigQuery, Power BI, SQL, Python). GPS and project management tools (Microsoft Project) support site coordination.
Major transport-infrastructure work including the Oosterweel connection, canal tunnels, sluice and waterway projects, viaduct construction, and large-scale junction reconstruction. Also executing quality control implementation and recycled-aggregate traceability initiatives.
