After struggling through the pandemic in 2020, and reducing staff, Mott MacDonald’s UK-based design-build business, JN Bentley, has put out the help wanted sign as it prepares for more work on a $410-million construction program for Thames Water, a major British utility company.
COVID 19-related complications are by no means finished for the company, which provides engineering and construction services to the UK water and wastewater sector. In July, it reported that its sites, many involving water projects classed as critical, remained operational during UK lockdowns. Despite Britain's removal in July of many legal restrictions on social contact, some remain, such as the number of people allowed at one time in an office.
