About the Role
What if you could do the kind of work the world needs? At WSP, you’ll have access to global opportunities, contribute to meaningful projects and work alongside talented people in your field. You’ll be encouraged to ask questions, bring your ideas and learn from different perspectives as you build a career that is as unique as you. We are looking for graduates to join our Advisory Services teams in 2027. This is an opportunity to work in a leading engineering and professional services consultancy, helping clients respond to complex challenges across infrastructure, investment, economic development, healthcare and the built environment.

Opportunities are available in:
- Investment & Transaction Advisory: London or Manchester
- Transformation & Digital Advisory: Birmingham, London or Manchester
- Digital Advisory: Manchester or London
- Life Sciences Project Management: London

As a Graduate in our Advisory Services teams, you’ll help clients make informed decisions, navigate change and deliver lasting value for communities, organisations and the environment. Depending on your team, you could support investment and transaction advice, business cases and due diligence; organisational transformation and digital strategy; or project management for life sciences and healthcare projects. You will work in collaborative teams alongside consultants, economists, digital specialists, cost managers, technical advisers and sector experts.

From supporting investment decisions and transactions, shaping digital solutions and helping organisations transform, to managing costs and value across life sciences facilities, you’ll gain insight into how advisory services can turn complex challenges into practical, real-world outcomes.

Investment and Transaction Advisory
The Investment and Transaction Advisory team helps clients make informed decisions across infrastructure, investment and economic development. You could support work including economic analysis, impact assessments, business cases, commercial strategy and technical, ESG and commercial due diligence for investors, lenders and public sector organisations. Our advice covers economic analysis, evaluation and impact assessment, including economic development, industry and innovation strategies, trade forecasting and cost modelling. As well as strategic, commercial, technical and ESG advice for government, public sector bodies, investors and lenders, including business cases, procurement, delivery models and due diligence.

Transformation & Digital Advisory
Our Transformation & Digital Advisory team helps clients respond to change, improve how they work and deliver lasting value. You could support projects across sectors such as government, defence, pharmaceuticals and energy, contributing to research, workshops, analysis and recommendations that help organisations develop new operating models, digital solutions and sustainability strategies.

Digital Advisory
The Digital Advisory team helps clients use data, technology and digital ways of working to solve real-world challenges. You could support digital strategies, dashboards, reporting tools and technology-led programmes across infrastructure, government, health and the environment, gaining practical experience in how digital ideas become meaningful outcomes.

Life Sciences
WSP’s Health and Life Sciences team supports clients across the health and life sciences sectors, providing practical advice from early feasibility through to completion on complex refurbishments and new-build schemes. Working alongside NHS Trusts, private health facilities, science organisations, design teams, contractors and colleagues across WSP, you’ll build your technical and commercial knowledge while contributing to projects that create better environments for healthcare, science and research.

Our two-year Graduate Development Programme is designed to help you build the skills, experience and professional network needed to thrive at the start of your career with us. Through a blend of structured learning, mentoring and hands-on project experience, you will be supported every step of the way.
