Guy Jones has a BSc in Civil and Structural Engineering from
the University of Manchester and a MSc in Irrigation Engineering
from the University of Southampton. He joined Mott MacDonald in
1984, and is presently a Technical Director responsible for
managing the Environment Division’s portfolio of projects in the
Asia Sub-Continent, Middle East and Africa. His professional
interest is in the management of sustainable rural infrastructure
development programmes, particularly in the irrigation and drainage
sub-sector. In Uzbekistan in 2002/03, he led field studies, surveys
and designs for the rehabilitation of the irrigation and drainage
systems across a 40,000 ha of Ak Altin rayon, and advised on
contract packaging, and the prequalification processes and bidding
documents to be used for the rehabilitation of the Karshi pumping
cascade. In Kazakhstan in 2002, he evaluated bids for civil
contracts for the rehabilitation of irrigation and drainage systems
in Shymkent. In India, he investigated ways to strengthen the
management of community-based irrigation organisations. Other
infrastructure projects with which Guy has been involved include
the Left Bank Outfall Drain in Pakistan and the Noakhali Rural
Infrastructure Development and Maintenance Project in Bangladesh.
He has worked with local and national governments, international
funding agencies (including missions), non-governmental
organisations as well as local communities.
Guy’s work for Mott MacDonald has included projects in Afghanistan,
Bangladesh, Bhutan, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Kazakhstan,
Lesotho, Malaysia, Nigeria, Sudan, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bhutan,
Sudan, UK and Uzbekistan. In 2000/01, Guy was Mott MacDonald’s
