With a population expected to exceed 11 million by 2035, Los Angeles faces the need to rejuvenate itself and provide innovative infrastructure solutions.
To make the city’s infrastructure goals achievable, Mott MacDonald has been retained to provide engineering, development, and management expertise. Read on to discover how our most significant projects showcase the range of engineering opportunities available in our Los Angeles office.
Engineering jobs in Los Angeles
Joining the Mott MacDonald team in Los Angeles will expose you to complex and ambitious civil engineering projects that require the best technical knowledge available in North America. Learn more about the type of projects you could be involved in below:
First proposed in the 1980s, the California High-Speed Rail system will include 800 miles of track and as many as 24 stations and will serve major cities including Sacramento, Stockton, San Francisco, San Jose, Fresno, Bakersfield, Palmdale, Los Angeles, Anaheim, Riverside, Irvine, and San Diego.
At Mott MacDonald, our team of skilled transportation planners provided project management, design, and environmental engineering services for California High-Speed Rail.
When completed, the high-speed rail system will allow residents to make the journey between San Francisco to Los Angeles in a third of the time it would take to drive. It is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 12 billion pounds annually — resulting in cleaner air and less road congestion.
Modernizing Los Angeles International Airport
The $5 billion project to revitalize Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) consisted of three main components: the Bradley West Reconfiguration Program, the Crossfield Taxiway Project, and the Midfield Satellite Concourse.
Mott MacDonald was the lead engineer for the first two of these. Our Los Angeles team of civil engineers provided planning and engineering design services for the biggest public works project in the city’s history.
The upgrading of LAX gave the airport the ability to handle super-jumbo jets such as the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The upgrade also improved the safety and efficiency of aircraft movements on the ground, reducing aircraft emissions and alleviating congestion at existing taxiways.
The $1.4 billion Regional Connector extension will create an underground trunk line connecting the existing Metro Gold Line, Metro Blue Line, and Metro Exposition Line LRT systems through downtown Los Angeles.
Mott MacDonald was selected as the prime designer of this major project, which will service a combined 135 stations, improving rail connectivity and reducing congestion on the roads of Los Angeles.
Our Los Angeles team of transportation engineers, structural engineers, transportation planners, and CAD technicians is helping provide significant environmental benefits, economic development, and employment opportunities throughout Los Angeles County.
