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.
Join our growing, multidisciplinary Water Utilities Division and deliver electrical, instrumentation, control and automation (EICA) solutions on nationally significant projects as the water sector responds to the generational challenges of climate change and growing demand.
You will be leading EICA project teams, shaping key design decisions, and collaborating closely with colleagues local and international, the client, and contractors. You will also support and mentor junior staff. As your career develops, you can pursue technical, commercial, or people leadership depending on your interests and skills.
We are looking for people to join us in driving excellence, innovation and efficiency in project delivery. Alongside varied day-to-day EICA engineering work, we offer opportunities to specialise in skills such as lightning protection or functional safety.
We have worked on projects such as Thames Water’s Wastewater Asset Assurance Programme, Thames Tideway Tunnel, Leeds Flood Alleviation Scheme, and the Fens Reservoir.

UK Immigration
Mott MacDonald Ltd. are not currently offering sponsorship to candidates under the Skilled Worker visa route in the UK. This decision is as a consequence of the changes made to the Skilled Worker route by the UK Government in April 2024. 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.
Agile working
At Mott MacDonald, we believe it makes business sense for you and your manager to choose how you can work most effectively to meet your client, team, and personal commitments. We offer a hybrid working policy that embraces your well-being, flexibility, and trust.

We put equality, diversity, and inclusion at the heart of our business, seeking to promote fair employment procedures and practices to ensure equal opportunities for all. We encourage individual expression in our workplace and are committed to creating an inclusive environment where
everyone
feels they can contribute.
AI Usage
At Mott MacDonald, we see the value AI can bring, but we take a people-first approach to hiring. While AI tools can help candidates prepare and build confidence, every application and hiring decision is reviewed by our recruitment and hiring teams. We encourage the responsible use of AI while ensuring we get to know the real person behind the application.
