Newton joined Mott MacDonald in 1987 after successfully
completing a BEng in Civil Engineering at the University of
Nottingham. He has since been awarded an MSc in Pollution and
Environmental Control by the University of Manchester.
James is also a Chartered Engineer and a Chartered Water and
Environmental Manager. He is a specialist in water and wastewater
engineering and has been extensively involved in the technical
analysis and management of master plans and feasibility studies as
well as the design and construction of major engineering projects
worldwide.
In the last ten years James has had significant involvement on
water sector project preparation and due diligence advisory work
for UK and international developers, donors and lenders as well as
involvement in the development of private sector participation for
water utility and project developer clients both in the UK and
overseas. Overseas experience has been gained in China, Malaysia,
Indonesia, Philippines, Serbia, Uganda, Kenya, Pakistan and Saudi
Arabia. In addition, he has also developed specialist skills in
project cost estimation at feasibility and design stages including
the development of specialist cost models.
He is currently the Project Manager for the Anglian Water Biosolids
Quality Sub-programme which is a £95 million biosolids treatment
programme, comprising the implementation of four sludge treatment
centres across the Anglian Water region by 2010. The four sites
will provide a total enhanced treatment capacity of 99,000 tonnes
of dry solids of raw sludge per annum, serving a population
equivalent of around 4 million customers, and incorporate combined
heat and power (CHP) plants to generate electricity and maximise
energy efficiency. James is responsible for Mott MacDonald’s
feasibility, outline and detailed design teams for all four
schemes, and responsible for all aspects of project management
including coordination of the multi-disciplinary specialist inputs
and the overall quality of the project deliverables.
