Ben Carlisle

Ben Carlisle joined Mott MacDonald in 2006 after graduating from the University of Cambridge. Since then, he has gained broad experience as a chartered civil engineer in multiple sectors and locations around the world. He has a background in leading multi-disciplinary teams in the design and delivery of transport and social infrastructure, including both capital and transformation projects. Ben is a keen proponent of improving the way in which projects and programmes are delivered, particularly through the use of DfMA and the better use of information and technology.

Since 2020, Ben has been Mott MacDonald’s global practice leader for industrialisation and is responsible for leading and growing a team of world-class practitioners and driving the strategy, services and knowledgebase in this area across all sectors of operation.

Ben has also been instrumental in shaping the future of the construction industry and recently played a key role in authoring and publishing the highly acclaimed "Product Platform Rulebook" featured in the UK Cabinet Office’s “Transforming Infrastructure Performance’s Roadmap to 2030”, and “the Value of Platforms in Construction” aimed to support the Construction Playbook’s ambitious goal of using platform approaches to drive innovation and efficiency. He is actively implementing these ideas in the delivery of construction programmes by taking strategic, advisory and leadership roles in various projects, including the New Hospitals Programme in the UK.
