Job description

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion: At Mott MacDonald Bentley, we welcome applications from all sectors of the community. We are dedicated to building a diverse workplace where everyone feels included, has the opportunity to thrive, and is treated with respect.

Even if you don't meet every requirement for this role but are excited about the opportunity, we encourage you to apply. We are committed to ensuring that our recruitment practices are barrier-free and as inclusive as possible.

About the Role: As a Project Leader, you will contribute to projects that significantly impact our environment and communities.

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 ensuring designs are completed on programme, within budget, and to the quality defined by each framework and industry specifications.
• Undertaking design in own discipline and mentoring less experienced colleagues where appropriate.
• Building positive relationships with the clients' project, operational, and technical assurance teams and promoting a one-team approach.

What you'll need:

• Degree in Engineering.
• Working towards professional qualification.
• A valid driving licence and willingness to travel to sites across your operational region.

We offer a competitive salary, commensurate with experience, and core benefits. We are committed to creating a workplace where our people are safe, have a voice, can reach their full potential, and everyone shares in the rewards.
