Alongside its UK contracting business there was also good growth and opportunity in the water sector around AMP8, it stated.
In the region, Mott MacDonald was appointed as city infrastructure engineer in Saudi Arabia for the first phase of THE LINE, which forms part of NEOM, the region taking shape in the northwest of the Kingdom.
In North America, Mott MacDonald built on successes in transit, tunnels and underground infrastructure and energy, where it was appointed to provide programme and project management services for the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority.
Work is ongoing in storm flood relief as it continues to support the upgrade of Philadelphia's historic sewer system.
In Australia and New Zealand, Mott MacDonald said it had strengthened its offering with the acquisition of specialist consultancies Merz and Neo Engineering respectively.
It was also selected by Queensland Hydro to provide engineering services for the upper and lower dams at the proposed energy hydro storage system at Lake Borumba.
James Harris, the executive chair of Mott MacDonald, said: "The last 12 months mark another year of good performance for the business, as our revenues reached £2.5 billion for the first time."

Bahrain-UK agreement: What Happens Next?
TDT | Manama A day after the landmark Bahrain-UK defense agreement was signed, key strategic details are now emerging, outlining plans for deeper military coordination, stronger maritime security, and the United Kingdom's significant move into the Bahrain-USled Comprehensive Security and Prosperity Agreement. The agreement, formalized during the official UK visit of His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince Deputy, Supreme Commander and Prime Minister, signals a further strengthening of the Kingdom's longstanding strategic relationship with Britain. It specifically highlights critical areas of future cooperation and mutual benefit. Maritime partnership His Excellency Lieutenant General Abdullah bin Hassan Al Nuaimi, Minister of Defense Affairs, emphasized that maritime security has emerged as a central component of the agreement. Plans are in place for intensified naval exercises, coordinated joint patrol operations, and enhanced maritime surveillance involving Bahrain Defense Force and British armed forces personnel. 'The signing of this defense cooperation agreement is rooted in our distinguished partnership, continuously strengthened under the leadership of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and the directives of HRH the Crown Prince and Prime Minister,' stated Al Nuaimi. He noted that expanding maritime cooperation is essential to maintaining regional stability and addressing evolving security challenges in Gulf waters. Trilateral expansion Another critical dimension unveiled in the agreement is the UK's access to the Comprehensive Security and Prosperity Agreement, previously a bilateral arrangement between Bahrain and the United States. This significant strategic step positions the UK firmly within a trilateral security framework, broadening collaborative defense and security operations in the region. 'The United Kingdom's inclusion, based on invitations extended by Bahrain and the United States, will elevate our joint security coordination and open broader avenues of cooperation, enhancing the mutual security interests of our nations,' Al Nuaimi explained. Deep-rooted alliance The Defense Minister also underscored the historic depth of the Bahrain-UK relationship, recognizing Britain as one of Bahrain's most vital strategic allies. He credited the ongoing strength of this bilateral partnership to decades of effective military and strategic cooperation between the two countries. As Bahrain and the UK now transition from signing agreements to executing strategic plans, expectations are high for tangible results, particularly in maritime security, joint military training, and broader defense coordination.
