Job Description

We are recruiting STEM graduates to solve complex problems through the development of technology-based solutions in the field of physical and digital infrastructure. You will bring your technology and engineering skills to improve the built environment and deliver improved social outcomes. You will be working on some of the largest infrastructure projects in Europe and North America, helping to improve the way these society improving projects are delivered. 

You will join our growing Information Management team which provides industry-leading and award-winning consulting services. We work with our clients to help them harness opportunities, including digital, to tackle their complex challenges. We do this by bringing together the best of our engineering domain knowledge and digital know how.

We support delivery organisation and operators globally to harness 'digital' and solve complex problems using Information Management. We are engineers and technology specialists; we understand infrastructure delivery and data through our practical experience supporting both through delivery projects and client organisations. We drive productivity in the delivery of assets in the built environment by harnessing technology, upskilling people, and transforming processes. We believe more effective Information & Data Management is a key enabler to achieve wider societal goals such as NetZero. 

Our information management approach seeks to utilise data intelligently, connecting disjointed data environments to enable future use of the data throughout the entire asset life cycle. Our Information Management teams are deployed on a wide range of major projects developing Information Management strategies, implementing connected data environments, and working with a diverse range of people to share knowledge and learn.   

In your day-to-day role, you will be working with project teams to apply improved methods to capture, structure and communicate data. You will be responsible for developing, maintaining, and optimizing information-based systems. This might include databases, visualizations, design co-ordination or any other form of information within the engineering sector but ultimately focused on leading-edge solutions. You will work alongside some of the brightest minds in the business who will share your quest to learn, improve and transform the delivery of engineering projects. Our projects all vary in length and will cover a diverse range of fields, but the vision will remain the same, implement technology to improve our ways of working.

This opportunity will require you to be eligible to achieve security clearance.  Security clearance is dictated by the types of projects we work on and normally requires you to be a UK British national or lived in the UK for five years or more.

Candidate Specification:

We are looking for flexible and motivated graduates with a genuine passion and a desire to make a difference in the world. If this describes you, apply today to launch your career at Mott MacDonald.

To be eligible for this opportunity, you will have less than 12 months relevant experience (excluding placements) and have a degree (obtained no earlier than 2023) or are expected to achieve one in a STEM discipline

• Excellent written communication and attention to detail and be able to demonstrate accurate technical drawings and good report writing.

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. ​

Our ethos is to develop, train and retain our graduates and therefore we are looking for a long-term relationship with our graduates. For this reason, we are not able to accept applications from candidates who would be working under the Graduate visa route or other time-limited visas, (irrespective of visa duration), due to their temporary nature and the requirement for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker route in future.​

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
