Read about technical director Neil Clark’s experience:

Prior to commencing work with Mott MacDonald in April 2006 I had spent 30 years working in the public sector. I commenced my career in 1976 as a trainee highway superintendent working for Coventry City Council. In 1986 I moved house from Coventry to Kenilworth and changed my job to work for Warwickshire County Council.

Throughout my career I have managed to achieve steady progression rather than rapid rises and this has enabled me to gain a broad knowledge and understanding of the highway maintenance industry in the public sector. Prior to leaving Warwickshire, I was the Highway Operations Manager with responsibility for managing 52 staff and a budget of £6 million.

I was actively involved in major reorganisation and re-structuring of the highway service in Warwickshire after obtaining a Master of Arts Degree in Management in 2002.

Since arriving at Mott MacDonald I’ve worked on some very interesting and rewarding projects including researching and producing a feasibility study on the development of collaborative approach to the delivery of highway network and management services in the east of England, assisting in the preparation of bids for contracts with Local Authorities, for example, the successful bid for the States of Jersey. The Jersey Highways Partnership was formed in September 2006 and I am involved as Project Manager on behalf of the Group. More recently, I was the Bid Manager for two new framework contracts with Portsmouth City Council.

After 18 months working for Mott MacDonald my only regret is that I did not make the move earlier in my career, as the work is so varied, interesting and challenging.
