The Water Utilities Division is Mott MacDonald’s centre of excellence for responding to the UK and Ireland's water and wastewater challenges. The work we do is at the forefront of ensuring safe water supplies for future generations, preventing urban flooding, and improving the health of our rivers and coastal environments. Our multi-disciplinary teams provide a variety of services throughout the full project life cycle, from advisory services and feasibility studies to outline and detailed design. Together, we deliver best-in-class solutions to our clients while offering diverse and technically stimulating opportunities to our people.
Following recent framework successes, we are expanding our multidisciplinary Water Division and have exciting opportunities for Senior Associate Civil Engineers to join our teams in Manchester, Leeds, or Liverpool.
Our work spans a broad and diverse portfolio of water‑related design projects, including:
We support every stage of the project lifecycle — from feasibility and optioneering through detailed design, construction support, commissioning, and final handover.
As part of our team, you will contribute specialist technical expertise to colleagues across our global business, giving you the chance to work on varied, high‑profile, and technically challenging assignments. Our clients include most UK water utility companies, as well as governmental organisations and private‑sector partners in the UK and internationally.
Mott MacDonald Ltd. are not currently offering sponsorship to candidates under the Skilled Worker visa route in the UK. This decision is as a consequence of the changes made to the Skilled Worker route by the UK Government in April 2024. We continue to welcome applications from candidates who are eligible for alternative immigration routes in the UK, that do not require sponsorship as a Skilled Worker now or in future.
At Mott MacDonald, we believe it makes business sense for you and your manager to choose how you can work most effectively to meet your client, team, and personal commitments. We offer a hybrid working policy that embraces your well-being, flexibility, and trust.
We put equality, diversity, and inclusion at the heart of our business, seeking to promote fair employment procedures and practices to ensure equal opportunities for all. We encourage individual expression in our workplace and are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels they can contribute.
