What is a project leader?
In MMB we combine the traditional project manager role with the technical skills of an engineer, creating our project leaders.
Working across the UK water sector, as a project leader you’ll be given the autonomy to run projects whilst still maintaining the hands-on aspects of engineering that we all came into this profession to do. You’re still making a difference, using your technical skills as well as leading a team.
That’s not to say you won’t be well supported; your MMB colleagues provide a great network of peers and mentors to help you deliver the outcomes our clients require.
In the role, you’ll lead the design, right through to commissioning and handover. You’ll co-ordinate the project team and work as part of a tight-knit triangle with the site manager and quantity surveyor to ensure the buildability and commercial aspects of the project are considered alongside the technical requirements right from the start. You’ll interact with the client and regularly visit site during the construction.
Leading projects within the water sector is one of the best places to develop. Our clients are facing a range of challenges and need us to help solve them. Now. Where better to innovate, race to net zero, go digital and discover sustainable solutions?

Working in MMB
Our project leaders are employed by global consultancy Mott MacDonald but work within MMB – the fully-integrated design and construction arm of the business.
MMB combines the design expertise of Mott MacDonald with the contracting experience of JN Bentley. This means you experience the best of both and influence your projects right the way through to completion on site.
The design and build environment in MMB has many other benefits, especially when it comes to your development. Because you get exposure to every aspect of a project, we feel our engineers are fast tracked towards and are better prepared to pass chartership reviews than those in traditional consultancy environments.
We’re proud of our workplace too. Our agile environment provides flexibility whilst meeting the needs of the project and our benefits include a generous pension, enhanced parental leave and paid professional subscriptions.
