What if you could do the kind of work the world needs?

At WSP, you can access our global scale, contribute to landmark projects and connect with the brightest minds in your field to do the best work of your life. You can embrace your curiosity in a culture that celebrates new ideas and diverse perspectives. You can experience a world of opportunity and the chance to shape a career as unique as you.

WSP is looking for a Systems Consultant to join our industry-leading Intelligent Infrastructure team. We provide consultancy and systems engineering services to transport clients throughout the UK and overseas. As a key member of our team, you will be able to access a range of benefits, including targeted professional development, and the opportunity to contribute to the direction of our business and to help us improve the ways in which we grow. You will contribute to the capability of our digital systems engineering consultancy team, providing advice, assurance and delivery to clients across the system engineering lifecycle.

You will be part of a team that uses a tailored blend of lifecycle, service and business change delivery methods to provide high quality strategic advice, technical assurance, solution guidance, specification, system design, architecture, and testing assurance to mostly government clients.

You will work closely with your clients, sometimes as their first point of contact, for technical advice. You will be responsible for getting to the heart of their needs and challenges. You will challenge assumptions and bring your client solutions that create genuine benefit and exceed their expectations.

If you have a broad perspective and passion for future technology, and are experienced in the digital consultancy arena, then WSP Intelligent Infrastructure is the team for you. We work as consultants, designers, and thought-leaders, able to understand and articulate complex systems and give robust advice that is in the best interests of our clients and their customers.

Our immediate need is for a consultant who can autonomously deliver project work associated with operational technology (e.g. signs and signals) on the English trunk road network, guiding more junior members of staff and reporting into our technical leads.

In This Role You Will:

• Think strategically and build relationships; you’ll apply thought leadership and build strong relationships with our clients and suppliers.
• Collaborate effectively with the team, sharing successes, plugging gaps as needed, working with a variety of clients, and coaching/developing colleagues.
• Be balanced and pragmatic, knowing when to apply processes and plans (be systematic) and when to apply flexible systems thinking.
• Join the dots and work across disciplines.
• Work independently in client-facing environments and define project requirements for yourself. You’ll use your strong problem-solving mindset, work effectively in ambiguous situations and escalate to senior staff when required.

What we will be looking for you to demonstrate:

• A degree in a relevant engineering discipline and the added recognition of a professional registration with an accredited institute, or equivalent industry experience.
• Have domain knowledge in a relevant industry, that could be transportation or operational technology, business IT, software or engineering consultancy.
• Experience of applying systems assurance to sizeable projects and programmes, and experience in client-facing roles.

Imagine a better future for you and a better future for us all.

Join our close-knit community of talented individuals who share your passion for making a positive impact. Our global team includes more than 69,000 employees, working together to make a difference in communities both close to home and around the world.

With us, you can. Apply today.
