Systems Engineer / Safety Engineer

Company: MOTT MACDONALD

Location: Bristol

Posted: May 10th, 2026

Location/s: Bristol, UK

Recruiter contact: Emma Cantley

Overview of the role

Due to continued growth, the Systems Engineering and Assurance team are recruiting a Systems Engineer / Safety Engineer to join a friendly and dynamic team focussed on delivering systems engineering and/or safety assurance solutions to infrastructure, energy and technology projects.

The Systems / Safety Engineer will work alongside experienced professionals within multi-disciplinary teams and will gain experience of using industry standard toolsets on a range of challenging and dynamic projects.

In addition to the delivery of project work, you will be expected to work on bids and proposals and get involved with the Early Careers Professionals (ECP) network.

We are working on a wide variety of UK rail projects from level crossing removals and station upgrades to the largest national railway infrastructure developments. We also provide support to international projects in countries such as Australia, Canada and the United States.

As infrastructure projects increase in complexity, there is an ever-increasing need for the application of our services across a wider range of industries, including transportation, energy and power so we also welcome applications from individuals outside the railways industry to support the growing demand for our services.

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.
