We also provide local services to customers and technical leadership to the rest of the Group in these sectors.
About The Role
We are growing our regional maritime teams and are currently recruiting for a Principal Ports/ Maritime Engineer (Design Manager/Associate) to join our growing maritime team in Scotland and North East England, where we provide advisory, project management, design and supervisory services to a range of private and public sector clients on a variety of ports and coastal projects.
Recent and current projects include refurbishment and upgrade of linkspans, pier refurbishment works, breakwater works, STAG and OBC studies for new ferry terminals and ferries, long sea outfalls, cooling water intake and outfall systems, and redevelopment of a former shipyard site, together with general port and coastal engineering.

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. You will conform to the company’s comprehensive quality, health and safety and environmental management procedures and act as a role model in their proper implementation.
You will contribute to the delivery and/or management of several projects concurrently, planning your work in a structured manner and using appropriate planning tools. You will collaborate with colleagues in addressing peaks and troughs in resource demand, taking account of project priorities. 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 understanding of technical requirements and risks. As part of supporting business development initiatives, you will understand and define key selling points and added value within bids. 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, following the standard processes established within Mott MacDonald.
About You
As a Civil or Structural Engineer with experience in the design of port and maritime facilities and preparation of specifications and contract documentation, you have a collaborative approach, are comfortable with client-facing roles, and establish professional relationships with internal and external clients. You have the ability to lead project teams and mentor and develop the skills of other members of the team. You are willing to communicate and engage with the broader business to seek guidance and foster an environment of sharing best practice. Additionally, you are well‑organised with strong planning and management skills and able to deal with various interfaces including technical, commercial and personal.
You Will Also Be Able To Demonstrate The Following
- Degree qualified and a chartered member of a relevant institution (e.g., ICE).
- Experience in commission management and leading design teams.
- Capable of providing high levels of support to clients.
- Clear and precise communication skills both verbally and in writing reports.
Although not essential, knowledge or experience of contract administration would be advantageous, as would experience in the design of coastal structures. It would also be beneficial if you have successfully developed new client relationships and secured new business within the ports and maritime sector.
