As a Degree Apprentice Project Manager, you’ll develop your project management career while working on real projects and studying towards your degree.
You’ll support the successful delivery of projects for our clients, helping to ensure they are delivered on time, within budget and to high standards of quality. Working alongside experienced project managers and multidisciplinary teams, you’ll develop practical experience across key areas of project management, including planning, cost and risk management, stakeholder engagement, project controls and effective communication.
Throughout your apprenticeship, you’ll have the opportunity to apply what you learn through your studies in the workplace, building your knowledge of recognised project management principles and best practice, including those associated with the Association for Project Management (APM) and Project Management Institute (PMI).
But project management is about more than successful project delivery. It’s also about creating positive social outcomes and making a difference. Whether you’re helping to improve transport infrastructure, enhance water systems, support local authorities or deliver other vital infrastructure, your work will contribute to projects that create lasting value for communities and the environment.
You’ll begin your career within one of our project portfolios, developing your knowledge and experience with the support of colleagues around you. As you progress through your apprenticeship, you’ll have opportunities to broaden your experience by collaborating across different projects, sectors and portfolios, helping you build the skills and experience needed for a successful long-term career in project management.

Mott MacDonald Ltd. are not currently offering sponsorship to candidates under the Skilled Worker visa route in the UK. This decision is as a consequence of the changes made to the Skilled Worker route by the UK Government in April 2024.
Our ethos is to develop, train and retain our apprentices and therefore we are looking for a long-term relationship with our apprentices. For this reason, we cannot accept applications from candidates who would be working under the Graduate visa route or other time-limited visas, (irrespective of visa duration), due to their temporary nature and the requirement for sponsorship under the Skilled Worker route in future.
We continue to welcome applications from candidates who are eligible for alternative immigration routes in the UK, that do not require sponsorship as a Skilled Worker now or in future.
CVs and cover letters are not required as part of the application process. Candidates will be assessed through a single-stage strengths-based interview.
These opportunities are for our offices in England and Wales.
In your application form, you will be asked to select your preferred discipline, sector, and location.
We want you to feel supported and able to perform at your best throughout our recruitment process. If there is anything we can do to make applying or interviewing with us more accessible, please contact us at reasonable.adjustments@mottmac.com and we'll be happy to discuss how we can help.
We personally review every completed application form we receive as this part of our selection process is entirely human-led. We do not use AI tools at this stage and kindly expect you not to either. We want you to answer each application question with authenticity so we can get to know the real you.
