Public road and highway operator managing 32,000 km of Italian infrastructure
ANAS is Italy's state-owned road authority, operating since 1928 with ~7,000 staff across 38 regional offices. The tech stack is dominated by CAD, GIS, and engineering simulation tools (AutoCAD, Plaxis, BIM, SimaPro) — typical of infrastructure design — paired with SAP for asset management. Active hiring tilts heavily toward engineering roles (9 of 13 open positions) at mid-level, and their project list clusters around bridge monitoring systems, maintenance scheduling, and environmental compliance, indicating a shift from reactive road maintenance toward proactive asset health tracking and sustainability reporting.
ANAS designs, builds, and maintains Italy's state road network and motorways, connecting cities and regions across the country. The company manages approximately 32,000 kilometers of roads and motorways, serving roughly 8 million passenger trips and 400,000 freight vehicles daily. Organized across 38 territorial offices and 21 operational control centers, ANAS employs around 7,000 staff. As a subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane (Trenitalia's parent group) since 2018, the company operates as a public company focused on infrastructure reliability, environmental sustainability, and technological modernization.
ANAS relies on AutoCAD, GIS, BIM, and Plaxis (2D/3D geotechnical modeling) for design; SAP for asset management; and SimaPro/OpenLCA for lifecycle environmental assessment. Microsoft Office and Access handle administrative workflows.
Current projects center on bridge and viaduct monitoring systems, maintenance scheduling optimization, quality certification compliance, sustainable infrastructure design, and environmental impact assessment for linear infrastructure.
