About the Division

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.

Overview of the role

We are looking for an experienced asset management professional who is passionate about helping the water sector deliver sustainable, resilient and customer-focused infrastructure investment plans. This is an opportunity to influence investment decisions, shape long-term asset strategies and help clients respond to some of the industry's most pressing challenges, including climate change, ageing infrastructure and environmental performance.

The Asset Management and Infrastructure Planning team is one of five sub-sectors within our Water Consultancy Division, which employs around 600 people across the UK.

UK Immigration

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.

We encourage the responsible use of AI while ensuring we get to know the real person behind the application.
