Mott MacDonald is dedicated to championing women and advancing gender equality across the organisation and the wider industry. Through our Women in Leadership programme, we actively support the progression of women into our senior roles, providing tailored development, mentorship, sponsorship and training to help unlock potential and accelerate careers. We foster an inclusive culture where women are supported at every stage, from early careers to executive levels, with flexible working, excellent parental leave policies, and global commitment to equity.

We also engage with the wider community by participating in STEM outreach events, inspiring young women to pursue careers in engineering, consultancy, and infrastructure. Each year, we proudly celebrate International Women's Day across our offices, using it as a platform to raise awareness, share progress, and reaffirm our commitment to building a workplace where women belong, lead, and succeed.

Agile wo​rking empow​​e​rs you to work smarter, ​​giving yo​​u ​​more individual responsibility over how, when and where you work to meet your personal and professional commitments.

Agreed in discussion with your people manager, agile working involves adapting your office working approach on an ad hoc basis to improve your productivity, job satisfaction and work-life balance and support business and client requirements, without changing your employment contract. It includes: 

• Flexible work times: varying your working hours in line with personal needs like caring responsibilities, appointments, exercise and volunteering  
• Working from home: for more focus time, a private space for client calls, dealing with home maintenance issues or attending appointments
• Working from your contracted office: for team collaboration, team and client meetings, building rapport and empathy with colleagues
• Working from other offices to fit with your professional aims.
