Global infrastructure consultancy for transport, energy, water, and defence
Mott MacDonald is a 10,000+ person, employee-owned engineering consultancy headquartered in London with active hiring across 23 countries. The tech stack reveals a firm deep in the CAD/BIM ecosystem (Revit, Civil 3D, Navisworks, ProjectWise, MicroStation, AutoCAD) while selectively adopting cloud platforms (DynamoDB, Power BI, FME) and scripting languages (Python, Ruby, VBA)—a pattern typical of legacy-heavy engineering orgs modernizing data and automation capabilities. Engineering dominates hiring (1,248 roles), with leadership gaps in water, electrical, and aviation suggesting aggressive expansion in infrastructure verticals.
Notable leadership hires: Client Director, Water Group Lead, Technical Director Electrical, Aviation Lead, Technical Director
Mott MacDonald plans, designs, delivers, and maintains large-scale infrastructure across transport, energy, water, defence, security, and buildings sectors. The firm serves primarily public and commercial clients on complex multi-disciplinary projects—power transmission grids, water treatment systems, HV substations, waste desalination, energy storage, and new-build infrastructure. Operating at global scale with offices across India, the US, UK, Singapore, Canada, and 16 other countries, the firm manages project risk, compliance, and delivery efficiency across aging asset bases and climate-resilience initiatives. Revenue and margin models are typical of fee-for-service design and engineering: large teams, long project cycles, client-locked repeat relationships.
Core tools include Revit, Civil 3D, AutoCAD, Navisworks, MicroStation, and Bentley ProjectWise. The firm also uses Autodesk BIM 360, Construction Cloud, OpenRoads, STAAD Pro, and ETABS for structural analysis.
Active projects include water treatment, power transmission grids, HV substations, waste desalination, energy storage, HV/LV distribution for oil & gas and wind, and new-build infrastructure in Adelaide.
