Mott MacDonald

Embracing and empowering military communities

Mott MacDonald, a global engineering, management, and development consultancy, recognises the unique skills and experiences that veterans bring to the workforce. Mott MacDonald is committed to supporting the community of ex-military personnel to facilitate their transition to civilian careers and to leverage their potential in various sectors.

Armed Forces Pathway programme

Central to Mott MacDonald’s efforts is our Armed Forces Pathway, which actively recruits former service members. The programme is designed to match veterans with roles that capitalise on their military training and experience, particularly in engineering, project management, and consultancy services. By offering tailored job placements, Mott MacDonald ensures veterans can find meaningful and challenging work that aligns with their skills.

Tailored training and development

We understand that transitioning from the military to civilian employment can be daunting. To address this, we provide tailored training and development programmes specifically for veterans. These programmes include mentorship, professional development courses, and certifications that help bridge the gap between military service and civilian employment. By investing in continuous learning, Mott MacDonald ensures that veterans are not only job-ready but also equipped for long-term career growth.

Partnerships with military charities

We collaborate with several military charities and organisations to enhance our support for veterans. Partnerships with entities like the Career Transition Partnership (CTP) and Build Force allow the company to reach a broader spectrum of veterans and offer more comprehensive support. These collaborations enable veterans to access a wide range of services, from job placement assistance to mental health support, ensuring a holistic approach to their reintegration into civilian life.

Recognition and advocacy

We’re a proud signatory of the Armed Forces Covenant and a defence Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award holder. We and our clients have benefitted from thousands of ex-servicemen and women and military family members throughout our workforce for decades. With so many veterans and other military community personnel within our team, our commitment and dedication to them is baked into our culture, rather than bolted onto it. We have been recognised for our commitment to the Armed Forces community with several industry awards and accolades, including being a ‘Top 10 Employer’ in the Top Employers of Veterans in the UK 2024.
