Offer description

Powering Progress. Engineering Impact. Building a Better Future.

At Mott MacDonald, we’re more than engineers—we’re a global community of problem-solvers, united by a shared purpose: to improve society through innovative thinking and sustainable solutions. As an employee-owned company, we have the freedom to focus on what truly matters—our people, our clients, and the communities we serve.

As a Graduate Electrical Engineer in our Water Utility Division, you’ll join a multidisciplinary team delivering critical infrastructure that supports clean water, wastewater treatment, flood protection, and environmental resilience. You’ll be empowered to grow your technical and project management skills while contributing to projects that make a real difference—locally and globally.


Job Description

You’ll be part of a talented team of engineers and technical specialists working across the full project lifecycle—from feasibility to commissioning. Your responsibilities may include:

* Designing with purpose: Prepare and review electrical and ICA (EICA) designs for water and wastewater infrastructure, including both infrastructure and non-infrastructure assets.
* Creating technical outputs: Develop drawings and documentation such as plant general arrangements, power single line diagrams, cable block diagrams, instrumentation loop diagrams, P&IDs, control system architecture, and I/O schedules.
* Collaborating across disciplines: Work closely with clients, contractors, and internal teams to deliver integrated, sustainable solutions.
* Driving innovation: Use digital tools and data-driven approaches to enhance design quality and efficiency.
* Growing with support: Gain exposure to project and commercial management, supported by mentoring, training, and our Early Careers Professionals Network.


Candidate Specification

We are looking for committed 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 minimum of a bachelor’s degree (obtained no earlier than 2024) or expected to achieve one, in one of the following degree disciplines:

* Electrical Engineering
* Electrical & Electronic Engineering
* Electrical and Mechanical Engineering
* Any other electrical engineering related degree


What We Offer

A graduate position should be more than just a job. We know this and so do you. That’s why with our graduate roles we aim to give you the experience and technical knowledge you need to progress your career. From the moment you join us, you’ll receive the training you need. You will be assigned a mentor, who will guide you to meet the objectives of your professional training needs.

You will have the opportunity to make a difference; learn more about Our Purpose and the difference we can make! You’re probably wondering what else is on offer. Join us, and you’ll get:

* Biannual salary reviews: we believe that hard work should be rewarded and recognised.
* A competitive salary: in addition to biannual reviews, we will ensure that you’re given a salary that matches the current industry standard.
* Contributory pension up to 7% of your salary: we have the best people on our team, and we like to look out for them.
* A flexible benefits scheme: our company is made up of a range of different people and we understand that different people want different things.


Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

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.
