About the business unit
We help conceive, drive, and implement transport solutions for cities, regions, and asset owners/operators around the globe. From preparing the business case and advising on related issues - such as revenue, procurement, and environmental legislation - to delivering the completed infrastructure and helping maintain it. Our planning, engineering, environmental and management skills cover the whole project cycle. We play a major role in developing and delivering the Global Transport Sector Strategy.
Overview of the role
Our Tunnels division is one of the global leaders in tunnel planning, design and construction in all conditions from soft ground to hard rock. Having planned and designed numerous road, rail, metro, water and service tunnels across the globe including London’s Thames Tideway East Tunnel, Northern Line Extension, Crossrail, the SMART road/water tunnel in Malaysia, Lesotho Highlands Water Project in Africa and the Channel Tunnel between the UK and France, we continue to be involved in many of the most challenging civil/structural and tunnel, sub-terrain, underground works and hydro-electric engineering projects.
We're currently looking to recruit a Tunnel Engineer within the tunnels industry to join our Croydon/Birmingham office. As a Tunnel Engineer, you have a background in the structural design of tunnels for either a consultancy or contractor and are familiar working with industry standards such as Eurocodes. Ideally, you’ve worked on multiple projects in different sectors. You understand design risk management, multi-disciplinary co-ordination and able to develop into a technically orientated mentor for more junior staff. Additionally, you are available to travel nationally or internationally for project delivery as required.
As an important addition to the tunnel and civil/structural design team in Croydon/Birmingham, you will have the opportunity to work on global major projects. As a key team member with a strong technical background, you will be able to support a discipline lead for projects while focused on effective and reliable delivery. You will provide design and integration with other engineering disciplines including structural, geotechnical, environmental, mechanical and electrical engineers covering a range of project requirements from new build to modification, asset maintenance or refurbishment. You will be involved in the planning and preliminary design and constructability of underground works as well as be responsible for the production and delivery of reliable design solutions, reports, specifications or drawings. Additionally, as an integral member of the team, you’ll contribute to the business and team’s technical development.
Your responsibilities will involve the following:
Candidate specification
Essential:
UK Immigration
Mott MacDonald Ltd. are not currently offering sponsorship to candidates under the Skilled Worker visa route in the UK. This decision is as a consequence of the changes made to the Skilled Worker route by the UK Government in April 2024. We continue to welcome applications from candidates who are eligible for alternative immigration routes in the UK, that do not require sponsorship as a Skilled Worker now or in future.

At Mott MacDonald, we believe it makes business sense for you and your manager to choose how you can work most effectively to meet your client, team, and personal commitments. We offer a hybrid working policy that embraces your well-being, flexibility, and trust.
