Offer description

*Internal applicants are welcome.

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.

We have been named a partner on a new AMP8 framework with United Utilities, which will extend our relationship for at least the next five years. The partnership is set to be responsible for over £3bn of major infrastructure in the North West of England, including upgrades to wastewater treatment works and reducing storm overflows through the delivery of the largest spill reduction programme in the UK, protecting more than 500km of rivers and bathing waters.

* Coordinate the project team including civil, electrical, mechanical and process designers, BIM modelers and technical specialists, ensuring designs are completed on programme, within budget and to the quality defined by each framework and industry specifications.
* Undertake design in your own discipline and mentor less experienced colleagues where appropriate.
* Build positive relationships with the client’s project, operational and technical assurance teams and promote a “one‑team” approach.


What you’ll need

* Accredited Degree in Engineering – Civil, Mechanical, Process or Electrical.
* Incorporated Member of an Engineering Institution.
* Experience in outline and detailed design of water or wastewater projects.
* Knowledge of the Designer or Principal Designer duties under CDM 2015.
