We work across incredible global industries, delivering exciting work that is defining our future and making an important societal impact in the communities we serve. Our people power our performance – we succeed when they do. With countless opportunities to collaborate, learn, and grow, the possibilities for excellence are as varied as every individual.

Whether you want to grow as a subject matter expert or broaden your experience with roles across our international community, you’re surrounded by global specialists who want to combine their expertise and champion you to be your best. As a proudly employee-owned business, we benefit our clients, our communities, and each other, investing in creating the right space for everyone to feel empowered, included, and valued. Whatever your ambition, Mott MacDonald is where people come to be brilliant.

About Thebusinessunit

We help conceive, drive, and implement transport solutions for cities, regions, and asset owners/operators around the globe. From preparing the business case and advising on related issues - such as revenue, procurement, and environmental legislation - to delivering the completed infrastructure and helping maintain it. Our planning, engineering, environmental and management skills cover the whole project cycle. We play a major role in developing and delivering the Global Transport Sector Strategy.

Overview Of Role

Are you a Digital Engineer looking to change the way we deliver major projects, wanting an opportunity to branch out from your current delivery focus? Our Information Management team here at Mott MacDonald is looking for seasoned Information Managers with project management experience to join the team to oversee a range of different projects.

Our Information Management team forms part of the Heavy Civil Infrastructure division which encompasses 5 areas of engineering: Foundation & Geotechnics; Information Management; Bridges; Special Services and Tunnels. We are looking for candidates with engineering delivery experience who can help us to develop our integration between engineering and information management as we seek to improve delivery methodologies.

You’ll be involved with the development of strategies, planning of processes and implementation of tools to improve major project delivery. Sometimes this might be working directly with our clients, other times this might be supporting our internal delivery projects. You will be an advocate for digital ways of working, a promoter of good information management and comfortable working closely with our clients to share our experience.

You will be responsible for ensuring that projects are delivered successfully for the client and for Mott MacDonald, technically, commercially, and financially. This role is critical to our ongoing success. You will be actively involved in selecting and briefing a project team, assessing risk, preparing a project budget and the initial plan of work. You will also be responsible for selecting delivery methodologies, these are often a balance between waterfall and agile.

Your Responsibilities Will Include (but Are Not Limited To)

• Project management and coordination with key stakeholders and interfacing teams
• Leading the technical delivery of consultancy services
• Delivery of a programme of technical solutions as agreed with the client
• Compliance with the Mott MacDonald management, quality, safety and environmental system requirements

You understand the design process, design risk management, construction programming, tendering process and quality assurance management. You will need to have strong leadership qualities.

Due to the nature of our business, you’ll be willing to travel internationally for projects when required.

You Will Also Be Able To Demonstrate The Following

• A degree in Civil/ Structural Engineering (or equivalent)
• Experience project managing multi-disciplinary projects, ideally within transport and using the ISO 19650 suite of standards
