Imagine creating solutions that stand the test of time—structures that shape skylines, systems that sustain communities, and innovations that tackle global challenges like climate change. As a Graduate Civil Engineer at Mott MacDonald, you’ll join a vibrant team of technical wizards, turning ideas into reality across diverse projects. From feasibility studies to construction handover, your work will improve lives and leave a legacy you can be proud of.

What You’ll Do:

• Build strong relationships with clients and contractors, ensuring every project hums with excellence and purpose.
• Grow your skills across all phases of the project lifecycle, making a tangible difference to society and the environment.

Who You Are:

• You’ve earned (or expect by 2025) a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering (obtained no earlier than 2023)—Master’s is a bonus!
• You’ve got less than 12 months of relevant experience (excluding placements) and a passion for making the world better.
• You’re methodical, proactive, and love solving problems, whether solo or with a crew.
• Your communication’s sharp—confidently chatting with clients and crafting detailed reports comes naturally.
