Flexible working at Mott MacDonald

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.

Employee reviews

Mott MacDonald's employees have anonymously had their say in what they think of the company

The most flexible, supportive and inclusive workplace I ever worked at. Highly recommend to anyone!

Mott MacDonald is the best place I have ever worked - and I am only a few years short of retirement, so my past experience is considerable. There is a great respect for, and acceptance of, colleagues whatever their background and identity.

There is a welcoming, light-hearted, positive environment in the office. People are very friendly and caring. It is a family friendly place to work, with flexible working hours, flexibility with home working arrangements, and the option to purchase additional leave to cover school holiday childcare (as well as other brilliant benefits).
