Mott MacDonald Bentley
Mott MacDonald Bentley is a fully integrated design and build business, combining the engineering excellence of Mott MacDonald with the construction expertise of JN Bentley. Operating across the water, energy and environmental sectors throughout the UK, we deliver innovative infrastructure solutions from concept through to commissioning.
With annual turnover exceeding £600 million and a reputation for collaborative project delivery, MMB continues to be one of the industry's leading design and build organisations.
As a delivery partner on United Utilities' AMP8 framework, we will play a key role in delivering over £3 billion of major infrastructure investment across the North West over the next five years, with the potential for a further five-year extension. This programme includes significant investment in wastewater treatment works, storm overflow reduction schemes and environmental improvements that will protect over 500km of rivers and bathing waters.
The Role
As a Site Agent, you will take ownership of the delivery of detailed design and build projects from pre-construction through to commissioning and handover. Working closely with in-house design, commercial and operational teams, you will ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently and in line with programme, budget and quality expectations.
This role offers the opportunity to influence design development, buildability, construction methodology and delivery strategy whilst leading site teams on a diverse portfolio of civil engineering and water infrastructure projects.
