Data Consultant - Intelligent Infrastructure in Bristol

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. Help turn data into insight that shapes real-world infrastructure decisions.

As part of our Intelligent Infrastructure team, you’ll work on projects that combine data, analysis, and client insight to support better decisions across transport, environment, and public sector services. You will support clients such as National Highways and the Department for Transport on projects ranging from analysing network performance data, to contributing to national programmes like Data for Road Safety (DFRS), and developing machine learning proofs of concept using real-world data, while helping turn fragmented datasets into usable platforms that support operational decisions and future investment.

A little more about your role… We’re looking for an experienced Data Consultant who can combine strong data skills with curiosity, problem-solving and clear communication. This role sits at the core of delivery; someone trusted to take ownership of tasks or work packages, while working as part of a wider team.

What you’ll be doing:

• Independently deliver tasks and work packages within data projects, from initial exploration through to delivery.
• Analyse and interpret data from a range of sources such as operational, asset, or service data to generate insight.
• Build clear, practical outputs including dashboards, reports, or simple data models that support decision-making.
• Work directly with clients to understand problems, shape analysis, and communicate findings.
• Contribute to discovery activities, helping define what data is needed and how it can be used.
• Bring together data from multiple sources, understanding and modelling relationships between datasets to support integration and create a clear, usable data view.
• Apply good practice in data management/governance, documentation, and technical assurance.

What we will be looking for you to demonstrate:

• Experience working with data in a consultancy, client, or delivery environment.
• Comfortable working independently on defined tasks, with support where needed.
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to move from data to insight.
• Ability to communicate clearly, explaining technical outputs to non-technical audiences.
• Experience working with clients or stakeholders to understand problems and shape solutions.
• A practical, problem-solving approach rather than a focus on tools or theory.

• Good working knowledge of tools such as SQL, Python, or Power BI.
• Experience working with structured datasets to answer real-world questions.
• Understanding of data management and governance fundamentals.
