A Little More About Your Role…
There is a political consensus that infrastructure investment is vital and serves an enduring purpose. At all levels of UK government, projects are being taken forward that support sustainable economic growth, decarbonise the movement of goods and people, and modernise the services received by end users. At WSP, we draw on experience from working on over 36,000 transport and infrastructure projects in over 40 countries across 6 continents. As one of the global leaders in transport and infrastructure we are commitment to sustainable transport and connecting communities.
As one of the largest environmental consultancies in the UK, you’ll get the opportunity to contribute to nationally significant transport projects and collaborate with some of the brightest minds in the industry.
