JOB DESCRIPTION:

Reporting to the unit Maritime Account Leader you will use your high standard of technical capability to deliver projects within the maritime sector and guide and develop other members of the team on technical aspects of projects. You will collaborate with colleagues in a constructive manner on projects, sharing knowledge freely. We have established a comprehensive set of quality management, health and safety and environmental management procedures and you will conform to these procedures and act as a role model in their proper implementation.
In your role it is likely that you will contribute to the delivery and/or management of several projects concurrently. In doing so, you will plan your work in a structured manner using appropriate planning tools and collaborate with colleagues in addressing the peaks and troughs in resource demand taking account of priorities on their projects as well as your own. Projects rarely go according to plan and you will track and monitor performance against baseline and work constructively to recover and bring projects to a successful outcome to meet or exceed targeted profit, deadlines and output quality.
You will contribute to bidding and winning work, using your knowledge of clients and your understanding of the technical requirements and risks associated with the prospects. As part of supporting business development initiatives, you will understand and define key selling points and added value within bids which will help to differentiate the service that Mott MacDonald will offer. As part of the bidding process you will assist with the calculation of fees, taking account of commercial risks and opportunities and present the commercial case, internally for approval before submitting the offer. Additionally, you’ll follow the standard processes established within Mott MacDonald for undertaking bids.

We put equality, diversity, and inclusion at the heart of our business, seeking to promote fair employment procedures and practices to ensure equal opportunities for all. We encourage individual expression in our workplace and are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels they can contribute.
