１０１９：マクドナルドの求人広告

今日は暫くぶりに水省に入る。

執務室を整理し、あいさつ回り。残念ながら、世銀ミッションのためか幹部は全員いない。

２４時間接続のインターネットの契約に向かう。驚いたことに新システムが導入されブロードバンドが可能となった。多少高めの値段だが、ストレスなしで利用できるメリットは歓迎だ。

午後には、一人の新任局長に会う。局長就任のお土産を持参した。大変喜んでくれた。

夕刻は、知人と食事。インド料理。彼も当地は初めてだからいろいろと情報を伝えた。ホテルも小生のところにすると言っていた。別の省だがやはりこのホテルからは近いと云う。

さて、本題だ。マクドナルドと云ってもハンバーガーではない。イギリスの老舗のコンサルタント会社のモット・マクドナルドである。

水資源専門家を求人している。事業の展開があるのかないのか。求人の中身が日本とは違うね。かなり具体的だ。これに挑戦するような日本人の中堅がでてくるといいね。

Project Manager - Water Resources Management

Mott MacDonald

Increase in demand for water on a global scale is causing a resurgence of work for Mott MacDonald’s international water and environment team. We therefore seek to recruit a water resources management specialist with international experience in the wider social, political and economic context of water to strengthen our offering in our Cambridge office.

Given our strength on the ground in many parts of the world, and our long track record of innovation on water issues, there is substantial potential for growth in our work. In order to strengthen delivery of our existing programmes with all major donors and to capitalise on new strategic opportunities, we need to expand our team based in Cambridge.

Job Description

The Project Manager - water resources management will be based in Mott MacDonald’s Cambridge office, but will be required to participate in overseas assignments, either on short or longer term assignments as the project dictates.
The role is to assist in management of the ongoing framework agreement with DFID and participate as needed in assignments commissioned through this framework in the water/environment sectors. This would include development and promotion of our offerings in the areas of policy, sustainability and climate change adaptation related to water resources and help build a new team concentrating on these issues.
Work closely with other teams in the environment division on other projects related to water resource management in the UK and overseas and the preparation of proposals for new work as required.

In 2010 Mott MacDonald was voted the 8th best company in Britain to work for, which was way ahead of any of our core competitors. Mott MacDonald is an employee-owned company, and this is core to Mott MacDonald’s principles of ownership and valuing people.

Candidate Specification

Degree in any discipline related to water resource management (for example, hydrology, engineering, social science, environment, political science or economics).
Substantial postgraduate experience, with technical expertise in water resource management, for example in river basin planning, water allocation, sustainable water infrastructure, irrigation management, climate change adaptation, participation in irrigation or water resource management, environmental flows.

Experience of working in a developing country, preferably in South/South-East Asia or Africa, and the ability to respect and work well with people from different cultures and a track record of working in or supporting multi-disciplinary networked teams with team members based in several countries.

Willingness to be flexible and adaptable, to learn new skills and apply existing skills to new areas of business and to travel on short or long-term overseas assignments, preferably including conflict-affected areas.
