Job Description
The key to a successful economy is the development of safe and efficient transport networks. Intelligent transport systems play an important role in improving our transport systems, through enhancing the mobility of people, data provision, improving safety, and reducing environmental impact.
The Technology & Services team within Mott MacDonald develops and supports a diverse range of bespoke and product-based digital and data projects for clients throughout the UK, internationally and within the Mott MacDonald group. We provide a dynamic, project-oriented development environment, with teams involved in the full lifecycle of digital and data delivery from requirements definition through to design, development, platform configuration, and ultimately live system support. We are currently looking to expand our evolving workstreams including data engineering and cybersecurity.
Our primary domain is in the Transport sector, solving real-world problems for clients that manage transport networks and own all forms of transport assets – digital, data, and infrastructure. We also increasingly provide technical input across multiple domains for projects across Mott MacDonald and we play our part in maintaining Mott MacDonald’s carbon neutral certification.
We have roles available in our Glasgow, Manchester, Southampton, and Birmingham offices, so please confirm your location choice within your application form.
CANDIDATE SPECIFICATION
We are looking for committed and motivated graduates with a genuine passion and a desire to make a difference in the world. If this describes you, apply today to launch your career at Mott MacDonald.
To be eligible for this opportunity, you will have less than 12 months relevant experience (excluding placements) and have a degree (obtained no earlier than 2023) in one of the following degree disciplines:
* Computer Science
* Software Engineering
* Information Technology
* Other related digital or data disciplines
In your application, you should be able to demonstrate your interest in the role and working at Mott MacDonald through relevant experience, such as studying relevant modules or previous work experience.
We are looking for graduates with the following characteristics:
* Methodical approach to problem solving
* Ability to use your initiative to undertake tasks efficiently and independently
* Excellent verbal communication skills, which allow you to confidently liaise with clients and team members
* Excellent written communication and keen attention to detail, demonstrating accurate technical capabilities and good report writing
As we want the best people for the role, we support flexible working. Please ask us at the interview stage about any flexibility you may need.
Mott MacDonald Ltd. are not currently offering sponsorship to candidates under the Skilled Worker visa route in the UK. This decision is a consequence of the changes made to the Skilled Worker route by the UK Government in April 2024.
Our ethos is to develop, train, and retain our graduates, and therefore we are looking for a long-term relationship with our graduates. For this reason, we are not able to accept applications from candidates who would be working under the Graduate visa route or other time-limited visas, (irrespective of visa duration), due to their temporary nature and the requirement for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker route in future.
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 the future.
A graduate position should be more than just a job. We know this and so do you. That’s why with our graduate roles, we aim to give you the experience and technical knowledge you need to progress your career.
From the moment you join us, you’ll receive the training you need. You will be assigned a chartered mentor, who will guide you to meet the objectives of your professional training agreement. We’ll support you on your journey to gaining chartered status with your chosen institution.

In addition to developing your soft skills, we recognise that each person's career goals vary, so when rolling off the programme we provide you with the tools and support to develop your ongoing career the way you wish to. Alongside our vast library of e-learning courses available to you, you can choose which direction you want your career to go in.
