About The Business Unit

You will be responsible for ensuring that projects are delivered successfully for the client and for Mott MacDonald, technically, commercially, and financially. This role is critical to our ongoing success. You will be actively involved in selecting and briefing a project team, assessing risk, preparing a project budget and the initial plan of work.
