- Have strong technical skills to lead the development of affordable and low carbon solutions, including managing risk.
- Deliver detailed design to meet the construction needs and client acceptance.
- Drive an excellence culture in your team including supporting the Design Manager to recruit and address competency gaps.
- Represent MMB in technical meetings with the client to achieve acceptance.
- Positively engage with our clients to further develop relationships, influence and enhance our reputation, as well as seeking new opportunities.
- Form collaborative relationships with the Contracts Manager and Quantity Surveyor, and balance the competing tensions of time, cost and quality, to successfully deliver outcomes to our clients.
- Continually develop and challenge project delivery to improve our performance and provide positive challenges to your team to innovate and arrive at value driven designs.
- Contribute to achieving high internal and client KPI scores.
- Provide direction and oversight of project control processes, with an emphasis on planning and monitoring performance, to achieve time and cost requirements, minimise risk, and ensure the output complies with the required standards and quality requirements.
- Be an enabler for using Mott MacDonald’s Global Design Services and digital services.
- Embed a cultural approach to the management of safety, wellbeing, environment, and sustainability within your team.
- Qualified design engineer (preferably Incorporated or Chartered, or working towards your professional review)
- Water or wastewater non-infrastructure and infrastructure design experience
- Experience of successfully developing and managing design quality control processes
- An experienced manager of people
- An understanding of procurement and construction.
- Proactive approach and growth mindset, with an ability to adapt to changing scenarios
- Able to manage competing tensions for the benefit of developing better outcomes

This role will provide you with the opportunity to further develop your technical and management skills, with excellent long-term potential to advance your career in both management and technical routes.
Remuneration:
Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience, skills, location and qualifications.
