The Water Utilities Division is Mott Mac Donald’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.

We work on a vast range of design projects covering, for example:

• Water treatment
• Water distribution and storage
• Wastewater drainage and recycling
• Desalination

Our clients include most UK water utility companies and many other governmental organisations and private companies in the UK and overseas. We cover all phases of the project lifecycle from feasibility studies through detailed design, construction support, and commissioning to handover. This offers fantastic opportunities to get involved in diverse and technically challenging work and support professional development.

• Water and/or wastewater engineering design experience
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Understanding of the importance of prioritising health, safety, and environmental issues
• Proactive approach, with an ability to adapt to changing scenarios

• Strong digital capability
• Project Management experience is not essential but previous experience or a desire to develop these skills would be beneficial
