Job description

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, operating across water, energy and environment sectors throughout the UK. With an annual turnover surpassing £650 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.

We will be working with the Environment Agency to provide asset operation, maintenance and response services across civil engineering and MEICA (Mechanical Electrical Instrumentation Control and Automation) projects.

We have secured the maximum of three regions on the Asset Operations, Maintenance and Response frameworks, that will see us undertake works on critical flood defence infrastructure in the North-West, North-East, and Yorkshire.

The framework extends our long‑standing relationship with the EA, which has seen us deliver a variety of schemes across England. These range from smaller repair and maintenance, such as asset repairs, to multi‑million‑pound flood resilience schemes, such as the upgrade of the Foss Barrier in the City of York.

Engineering is at the very core of what we do. Be it civil, mechanical or electrical, our engineers are based on site and play a practical, hands‑on role in the successful delivery of projects. As an Engineer you’ll work on projects that make a real difference to our environment and our communities – from improving flood defences, to upgrading water treatment works and providing nature‑based solutions that improve biodiversity.

• Financial Control and ensuring company cost systems are kept up to date by logging material deliveries, managing and reviewing plant levels
• Assisting the Site manager and Quantity Surveying Department by compiling data to record resources utilised on each activity

What You’ll Need

• CSCS and SSSTS
• HNC / Degree in Civil Engineering or equivalent experience
• Understand civil engineering principles and practices
• An understanding of methods, materials and technical aspects relevant to the project
• Excellent organisation and problem‑solving skills
• Ability to communicate effectively with team members and stakeholders
