  • London

Requirements

  • We are looking for flexible and motivated graduates with a genuine passion for fire engineering and a desire to make a difference in the world. If this describes you, apply today to launch your career at Mott MacDonald.
  • To apply for this scheme, you will have less than 12 months relevant work experience and have a degree or are expected to achieve one of the following degree disciplines:
  • Fire Safety Engineering or similar
  • Fire Science or similar
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Architectural Engineering
  • Building Services Engineering
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Physics
  • Chemistry
  • Any other engineering or science disciplines relevant to Fire Engineering
  • In your application you should be able to demonstrate your interest in the role and working at Mott MacDonald through relevant experience, such as studying relevant modules, or previous work experience.
  • We are looking for graduates with the following characteristics:
  • Methodical approach to problem solving
  • Ability to use your initiative to undertake tasks efficiently and independently.
  • Excellent verbal communication skills, which allow you to confidently liaise with clients and team members.
  • Excellent written communication and attention to detail and be able to demonstrate accurate technical drawings and good report writing.

Responsibilities

  • Fire engineering is one of the most important investments and critical considerations that can be made on almost any engineering project. Standard fire safety design guides can be overly restrictive, or simply not fit for purpose, on the design of buildings and transportation infrastructure, especially for innovative or bespoke design projects.
  • Our specialist fire safety engineering team offers an alternative and dynamic approach to fire engineering design, that ensures that structures in the built environment, transportation infrastructure and their occupants are as safe from the effects of fire as can be reasonably expected. A full fire safety package will be demonstrated using either a dynamic or prescriptive approach, or both depending on the specific project. We incorporate the most appropriate methods of fire protection from a host of engineering techniques which help to minimise the impact of fire on built environment and transport projects, providing cost efficiencies and environmental benefits where appropriate and ultimately improving the overall resilience and safety of buildings and infrastructure around the world.
  • The nature of fire-engineering requires the development of strong technical, interpersonal and negotiating skills to deliver the best design to your clients.
  • You will help the team develop ‘fire strategies’: documents outlining the life safety systems, firefighting provisions, and any technically derived fire-engineered solutions required to meet the overarching design goals. This involves regular contact with the client and design team, any associated site visits, and office-based report writing including technical analyses.
