About The Business Division: The Water Utilities Division is Mott MacDonald’s centre of excellence for UK and Ireland water and wastewater challenges.

Our multi-disciplinary teams provide services across the full project life cycle, from advisory services and feasibility studies to outline and detailed design.
Role Overview
Water resources are under pressure from climate change, population growth, and urbanisation. We provide strategic water resources planning services to water companies, regional groups, regulators, and government in the UK, as well as supporting our global business. We help clients assess resilience of resources and identify and develop future demand and supply-side interventions. We are looking for motivated strategic thinkers to join our team of climate scientists, data scientists, engineers, environmentalists, hydrogeologists, hydrologists, managers and planners.
