Overview of role

Mott MacDonald is a market leader in the UK water sector, being a key supplier to major water companies and delivering a wide variety of engineering and advisory projects in support to the challenges faced by the sector. Our Water Consultancy Division has ambitious growth plans in line with AMP8 investment needs and we are proud of our strong reputation in the industry which is allowing us to expand our business. Digital is going to play a huge role in assisting us to achieve our ambitious Growth Plan. Our clients are facing difficult challenges including pollution, leakage, climate change and many more. It is clear that digital services and solutions are going to be needed to solve these challenges in an efficient way. Traditional approaches need to be reconsidered, and we need to be able to provide a helping hand to our clients to navigate their digital journeys.

To meet the demand, we are growing our Digital Team. We are looking to recruit new staff who have digital skills and a track record of implementing digital change for water company clients. The role will be working on live commissions, although there are opportunities to assist with internal implementation initiatives. What do we mean by digital? Digital is a broad word and can encompass anything from information management, to software development, to GIS, to data engineering, to IT. In this role, we are looking for generalists who have a broad understanding of the digital landscape, although we are also open to staff with specialist skills in any of these areas. The role would involve both strategic advisory services, as well as implementation support to develop and deliver execution plans. 

We think this is a great opportunity to deliver a step change in how we support our clients. The role will also be a great way to become more familiar with Mott MacDonald’s world leading Moata platform. The role offers an excellent progression route within the business and the opportunity to develop future-proofed services and solutions.  It also offers the opportunity to develop the next generation of talent within our business. We are looking for a driven individual, keen to make a difference in the sector, take wide responsibilities and progress professionally.
