Why did you choose to join Mott MacDonald?
One of my university colleagues was working in the country and he asked if I would be interested in working here. I was on visit here and I sent my resume to Mott MacDonald. I got an interview call the very next day and that’s how I started working. Fast-forward ten years, and I’m proud member of Mott MacDonald. I always dreamt of working for a multinational global development consultancy firm and Mott MacDonald provided me with the perfect platform to grow.

This project provided me with an opportunity to learn so much about the other things beyond work, the culture, the struggle, the hopes and aspirations of people, and at the end of the day it was a great lesson learned in many different ways.
