distinguish design deficiencies, changed conditions, contractor means and methods, and owner-retained risks; and support defensible change and claims decisions.\nConstruction planning and project delivery\nParticipate during design, procurement, and preconstruction to shape packaging, early works, contractor-selection criteria, construction execution plans, staffing, field offices, inspection strategy, and contract-administration procedures.\nEvaluate constructability, temporary works, access and laydown, traffic and work-zone controls, utility relocations, restricted work windows, major-structure erection, labor and equipment needs, schedule logic, and operational constraints.\nTranslate preconstruction decisions into executable field plans and verify that package-release assumptions, interface obligations, permits, property access, and acceptance criteria are understood before work begins.\nIntegrate field intelligence with cost, schedule, risk, change, and interface controls;

You understand how early packaging, constructability, access, temporary works, contract language, and interface decisions determine what happens in the field.\nYou balance safety, quality, schedule, cost, environmental and community commitments, and operational readiness without blurring accountability. You develop strong teams, maintain disciplined records, challenge unsupported assumptions, and keep the owner informed with clear recommendations and early warning.\nWhy join Mott MacDonald?\nAt Mott MacDonald, you will help deliver high-profile transportation projects while developing your career in an environment that values both personal and professional growth.\nYou will benefit from:\nOpportunities to work on complex and impactful infrastructure projects across the Pacific Northwest.\nAccess to a global network of experts who collaborate, share knowledge, and support one another's success.\nThe flexibility to deepen your technical specialization or broaden your career experience across our business.\nA culture built on integrity, mutual respect, inclusion, and shared purpose.\nOngoing investment in learning, development, wellbeing, and professional achievement.\nCompetitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package.\nThe opportunity to shape your own career path within a successful employee-owned organization.\nWhatever your ambition, Mott MacDonald is a place where you can grow, contribute, and be brilliant.
