At Mott MacDonald, we work across incredible global industries, delivering exciting work that is defining our future and making a meaningful societal impact in the communities we serve. It’s our people who power that performance – we succeed when they do.

As a Graduate Process Engineer in our Water Utility Division, you’ll help address one of the world’s most critical challenges: access to clean drinking water and sanitation. You’ll contribute to the design and assessment of water and wastewater treatment systems across the UK and internationally, helping to deliver safe, cost‑effective, and sustainable solutions.

Our engineering expertise is central to our work in the water industry, and our specialist teams are renowned for their innovation and technical excellence in clean and wastewater treatment design.

* Project involvement: contribute to single or multiple projects, including clean and wastewater treatment, from concept through to detailed design.
* Technical documentation: prepare reports, calculations, drawings, and supporting documents for project delivery.
* Commercial awareness: interpret and report on commercial and contractual aspects of projects in collaboration with fellow professionals.
* Technical development: maintain a strong understanding of current technologies, engineering codes, and practices, and take a hands‑on role in technical matters.


Candidate Specification

We seek committed and motivated graduates with a genuine passion to make a difference. To be eligible, you must have less than 12 months’ relevant experience (excluding placements) and hold or expect to obtain a bachelor’s degree (obtained no earlier than 2024) in one of the following disciplines:

* Chemical Engineering
* Process Engineering

Desired strengths include:

* Proactive initiative to complete tasks efficiently and independently.
* Effective and clear communication with clients and colleagues.
* High‑quality written work with strong attention to detail and clarity.
* A structured and analytical approach to problem solving.


Benefits

* Biannual salary reviews.
* A competitive salary that matches the current industry standard.
* A contributory pension up to 7% of your salary.
* A flexible benefits scheme.


Visa & Sponsorship

We cannot accept applicants who would be working under the Graduate visa route or other time‑limited visas because of sponsorship requirements in the future. We welcome applications from candidates eligible for alternative immigration routes in the UK that do not require future Skilled Worker sponsorship.

We put equality, diversity and inclusion at the heart of our business, promoting fair employment practices to ensure equal opportunities for all. We encourage individual expression and are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can contribute.
