We are renowned not only for technical excellence and quality but also for developing innovative and people-focused solutions.

From 8th and 11th place in the Sunday Times Best Big Companies to Work For (in the last two years), to Best Technical Advisor at the Public Private Finance Awards 2007 and three Queen’s Awards for inter-national performance in the last nine years (1998; 1996; 2004) – the awards we’ve received in recognition of our achievements come in many forms.

Some of our key awards include:

Innovation Award for Power/Energy

Mott MacDonald was the EPCM Contractor in the Shell Gabon Rabi Phase 3 project. The project was runner up for the Institution of Engineering and Technology Innovation Award for Energy for 2006 and won Energy’s Technology & Innovation Award.

British Expertise Awards 2006

HRH The Duke of Gloucester, Chairman of British Expertise, presents Mott MacDonald’s oil and gas director Charles Ellinas with the Joint Large Consultancy Firm of the Year Award.


We provided specialist technical support and detailed engineering design services, including preparing specifications and requisitions for materials. Eliminating gas flaring was the key goal of Cawthorne Channel Gas Gathering. Flared gas costs Nigeria US$2.5 billion a year and contributes significantly to environmental damage. Now, through saving gas, this sustainable project recovers US$600,000 per day. Our consulting expertise were recognised via this award.

British Expertise Awards 2007

At the British Expertise Awards ceremony held in November 2007 Mott MacDonald won a Highly Commended Award within the Sustainability Project category for Project Polar. We were also honoured as the Major Consultancy Firm of the Year. Project Polar in China involved the destruction of the highly potent greenhouse gas HFC-23, eliminating the equivalent of more than four million tonnes of carbon dioxide. The project has been an outstanding success, which is recognised via this award.

'Innovating the Art of Safety' Award

In May 2007 we were awarded the prestigious safety award from Air BP for our work at Hamriyah. The project involves importing jetfuel through a new unloading facility at the existing LPG jetty at Hamriyah Free Zone into a new shore tank terminal, and transferring the fuel to the existing aviation fuel depot at Sharjah International Airport.

PDO Awards HSE Best Performance Award

We were awarded the 2006 'HSE Best Performance' award by Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) for our work on PDO’s integrated engineering, maintenance and construction (EMC) services contract for North Oman oil and gas concessions.
