About the Role
At WSP, you will have the opportunity to shape a unique and rewarding career. Our aviation experts plan, design, and manage the construction of future airports with a focus on resilience, sustainability, and smart technologies. As an Airfield Engineer, you will support the delivery of exciting UK and international engineering projects, working alongside a team of technical experts. Your responsibilities will include preparing technical reports, calculations, drawings, and specifications related to airfield engineering projects. You will help identify and manage design risks, issues, and Requests for Information (RFIs), ensuring all deliverables meet cost, quality, and time targets. Championing excellent health and safety practices, including safety in design and compliance with CDM regulations, will be essential. You will also support Project Managers with progress monitoring and project controls such as change management, information management, and document control. Building and maintaining professional client relationships and responding to client directions in a customer-focused manner will be key to your success. This role offers opportunities for international travel, continuous professional development, and mentoring junior team members.

Experience
A university degree relevant to civil engineering, construction, design, or a related discipline. Experience delivering civil engineering projects is required, though this does not need to be aviation-specific and may include highways, urban realm, maritime ports, or similar projects. Knowledge of international airfield design standards such as ICAO, CAA, EASA, and FAA is preferable but not essential. Experience with AutoCAD, Civil 3D, or other relevant engineering design software is expected.

About you
Excellent written and verbal communication skills for both technical and non-technical audiences. You enjoy working collaboratively in a team environment, sharing ideas, and solving complex problems. You demonstrate confidence working under pressure, with strong prioritization and planning skills, and can provide examples of successfully managing these challenges.

Qualifications
A relevant university degree is required. Professional development and mentoring junior colleagues will be supported and encouraged.
