Mott MacDonald Bentley is a fully integrated design and build business combining the design expertise of Mott MacDonald with the contracting experience of JN Bentley, operating across water, energy and environment sectors throughout the UK.

In November 2023, MMB secured its first ever framework with South West Water, the company responsible for the water and wastewater services of 1.8 million customers in Cornwall, Devon, the Isles of Scilly and parts of Dorset and Somerset

The multi-million-pound AMP8 contract runs for five years to 2029 - with the potential for a further five-year extension - and sees us bring our track record of innovative project delivery to the south west of England for the very first time.

You will work closely within the amplify partnership, including South West Water and other partners, to ensure consistency across all batches of work, reporting on regulatory milestones and identifying cross-partner opportunities.

As a planner, you will play an essential role in ensuring the successful delivery of projects that make a real difference to our environment and communities—ranging from improving flood defences and upgrading water treatment works to providing nature-based solutions that enhance biodiversity.

The role of a planner includes: 

• Ensuring projects are programmed in P6 to the necessary level of detail for design and operational teams to deliver and ensuring contract compliance.
• Developing detailed project plans and continuously monitoring project progress, updating schedules and generating performance reports. 
• Working closely with the project team to gather necessary information to build design, procurement and construction programmes from scratch, facilitating planning sessions to produce detailed, logical plans.
• Reporting key project milestones and supporting the team in effective, on-time delivery while identifying opportunities for programme improvement.

What you’ll need: 

• Competency in the use of Primavera P6 and an interest in 4D planning
• Understand civil engineering principles and practices
• Have excellent communication, problem solving and teamwork skills
• A valid driving licence and willingness to travel to sites across your operational region
