Join to apply for the Project Leader role at Mott MacDonald

Mott MacDonald Bentley is a fully integrated design and build business combining the design expertise of Mott MacDonald with the contracting experience of JN Bentley to deliver award winning projects. With an annual turnover surpassing £500 million, Mott Macdonald Bentley cements its position as a leader within the industry. The sustained, robust business performance creates an ideal environment for career growth.

In November 2023, MMB secured its first ever framework with South West Water, the company responsible for the water and wastewater services of 1.8 million customers in Cornwall, Devon, the Isles of Scilly and parts of Dorset and Somerset

The multi-million-pound AMP8 contract runs for five years to 2029 - with the potential for a further five-year extension - and sees us bring our track record of innovative project delivery to the south west of England for the very first time.

We’ve got a great opportunity to be innovative and creative in these new projects to deliver affordable solutions. We’re already on site supporting the completion of an existing project and we’re due to land new projects on site in 2025 as we continue to demonstrate to our client just what MMB is all about.

As a Project Leader you will contribute to projects that significantly impact our environment and communities. Working primarily in the UK water market, MMB provides the feasibility, design, construction, and commissioning services needed to keep water flowing and wastewater treated. You’ll work on projects that make a real difference to our environment and our communities by enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of water and wastewater treatment systems.

This role combines elements of both traditional Project Management and Design Engineering, creating a unique work environment where you can thrive personally and professionally, accelerating your journey to chartership or developing your cross-discipline expertise.

The Role Of a Project Leader Includes

• Working as part of a “project triangle” alongside a Site Manager and Quantity Surveyor to ensure that technical, constructability and commercial aspects of project delivery are considered throughout.
• Leading the design of treatment or infrastructure projects from the initial outline to detailed design, through construction, commissioning, and handover
• Coordinating the project team including civil, electrical, mechanical and process designers, BIM modelers and technical specialists and ensure designs are completed on programme, within budget, and to the quality defined by each framework and industry specifications
• Undertake design in own discipline and mentor less experienced colleagues where appropriate
• Building positive relationships with the clients’ project, operational and technical assurance teams and promote a "one-team" approach
