our story

The engineering pioneers who established the foundations for Mott MacDonald in the 1800s would undoubtedly relate to our purpose today: to unlock better outcomes for our clients, communities and employees through relentless focus on excellence and innovation.

Throughout a heritage traced back to the 1860s, the pursuit of innovation and excellence has unlocked economically and socially transformative advances in transport, energy, clean water, sanitation and environmental management. 

That transformation continues with the present generation of Mott MacDonald professionals, as they work with clients and partners to adapt, develop and manage the built environment to meet evolving business, social and environmental needs.
