Technical advisory

At Mott MacDonald, we’re seeing more and more customers in all walks of our business turn to us for the benefit of our independent technical advice and assistance.

Our decades of experience in all markets from energy to transport to education enable us to offer the highly powerful combination of leading edge technical expertise backed by astute commercial sense and a deep understanding of all the issues, risks and stakeholder considerations, from social to environmental to financial.

Using our wealth of skills and knowledge we’re here to give our customers utterly impartial advice on any technical aspects of project development – and the assurance that their project, whether it’s a national education reform programme or an inter-urban rail system, is being implemented correctly and to all the prevailing standards and requirements. We have great experience in offering high-quality, cost-effective social sustainability services such as:

  • Social impact assessment, social risk management and monitoring, and social safeguard action planning
  • Social due diligence and Equator Principle compliance reviews
  • Resettlement and indigenous peoples’ development planning
  • Public consultation, disclosure and stakeholder engagement planning
  • Labour compliance monitoring, audits and labour management planning

We also provide ongoing engineering and assurance support to assist customers with specialist technical queries to help them meet their obligations in complying with technical standards and assurance responsibilities.

We provide our technical advisory services in a variety of ways – by seconding key staff into a customer’s organisation, working as part of a co-located integrated project team involving all parties or as traditional consultancy services. Whatever the route, we focus on providing our customers with the best possible professional advice, drawing on the vast resource we have readily available within the Mott MacDonald Group and our access to international best practice networks.

Technical advisory roles for projects delivered under public private partnerships or private finance initiatives are a particular forte. At Mott MacDonald we’ve earned a leading reputation – borne out by several industry awards – for providing technical advice throughout the procurement process up to financial close and beyond into the implementation and operation phases, working for owners and lenders alike. Our services include:

  • Appraisal of technical issues
  • Risk allocation
  • Evaluation of capital investment and expenditure
  • Technical audits of operational performance and compliance
  • Service level reviews
