Job Description

Transform Information into Better Outcomes

At Mott MacDonald, we believe that great engineering starts with great information. Behind every successful infrastructure project, there is trusted data, effective collaboration, and digital innovation that enables teams to make informed decisions and deliver lasting value.

As a Graduate Information Manager working on Defence projects, you'll help shape the future of digital delivery within our engineering teams, supporting projects that improve connectivity, strengthen communities, and create more sustainable places to live and work.

This is an exciting opportunity to combine your passion for digital engineering, Building Information Modelling (BIM), and data management with meaningful projects that make a positive difference to society. You'll work alongside engineers, digital specialists, and project teams to ensure that information is managed effectively throughout the entire project lifecycle, helping to create smarter, safer, and more efficient infrastructure.

The Opportunity

Please note that this role will involve working on Defence projects.

Digital information sits at the heart of modern engineering and construction. As projects become increasingly complex, effective information management and BIM are essential to delivering high-quality, coordinated, and sustainable solutions.

As a Graduate Information Manager, you'll join a collaborative and supportive team where you'll learn from experienced professionals while developing your technical, digital, and communication skills. You'll gain exposure to a variety of infrastructure and multi discipline engineering projects, helping teams harness the power of data and digital technology to achieve better outcomes for clients and communities.

From your first day, you'll be encouraged to contribute ideas, take ownership of your development, and build the confidence needed to become a future leader in digital delivery.

What You'll Do

As part of our multidisciplinary structural engineering and digital delivery teams, you will:

• Support the implementation of BIM and information management processes across a range of projects.

• Assist with the management, coordination, and validation of project information and digital deliverables.

• Help maintain Common Data Environments (CDEs) and ensure project information is accurate, accessible, and compliant with agreed standards.

• Support project teams in applying information management principles and BIM best practice.

• Contribute to the development and delivery of BIM Execution Plans, information standards, and project workflows.

• Assist with digital coordination activities and model reviews across multidisciplinary teams.

• Support the production of project reports, dashboards, and data-driven insights that enable informed decision making.

• Work with engineers, designers, project managers, and digital specialists to improve project delivery and collaboration.

• Explore emerging technologies, digital tools, and innovative approaches that support improved engineering outcomes.

• Participate in project meetings, workshops, and knowledge-sharing activities to build your professional network and understanding of the wider industry.

This role will require occasional travel within the UK, including overnight stays where necessary.  All business travel and accommodation costs will be covered by Mott MacDonald.

Why This Role Matters

Information is one of the most valuable assets within any project. When managed effectively, it improves collaboration, reduces risk, enhances quality, and supports better decisions throughout the lifecycle of an asset.

As a Graduate Information Manager, your work will help:

• Improve the quality and efficiency of project delivery.

• Support sustainable and resilient infrastructure development.

• Enable better collaboration across multidisciplinary teams.

• Reduce waste and improve project outcomes through effective digital delivery.

• Create reliable information that supports long-term asset performance and management.

• Deliver value for clients, communities, and future generations.

You'll play a key role in helping our teams transform data into meaningful outcomes that improve society.

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.  

Our ethos is to develop, train and retain our graduates and therefore we are looking for a long-term relationship with our graduates. For this reason, we cannot accept applications from candidates who would be working under the Graduate visa route or other time-limited visas, (irrespective of visa duration), due to their temporary nature and the requirement for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker route in future.
