About the Role
What if you could shape a career as unique as you? At WSP, you can always find opportunities to grow and do what matters to you. Make the most of our global reach to discover new challenges and chances to work with diverse, talented individuals who will help you expand your horizons. As an Engineer within the Asset Consultancy Team, you will work collaboratively alongside other WSP Engineers, Hydraulic Modellers, and Asset Planners to deliver potable water infrastructure projects. Your responsibilities will include ensuring accurate and efficient delivery of high-profile projects for internal and external clients, primarily UK utilities, private developers, and local authorities. You will exercise independent engineering judgement and provide innovative solutions to engineering challenges while being a proactive and collaborative team member. This role offers the opportunity to further develop and apply your technical skills, contributing to both technical quality and service efficiency.

A typical week may include (but is not limited to): Delivery of feasibility studies and options development for potable water infrastructure and non-infrastructure projects; hydraulic modelling including network model builds, upgrades, calibration, operational response, and mains flushing programming; asset risk prioritisation modelling; water quality modelling, assessment of options, and development of solutions; growth studies and network capacity checks; close collaboration with clients to ensure projects meet expectations for quality, time, and budget; undertaking continuing professional development under guidance from People Managers; assisting junior staff; and operating in accordance with WSP’s corporate health and safety, environmental, and quality standards.

You will join a respected and ambitious company with excellent career prospects, working as part of an award-winning water team within a larger group of over 600 professionals across the UK, supported by our Global Water Team. Our expanding portfolio includes clients such as Severn Trent Water, Northern Ireland Water, Welsh Water, Southern Water, Wessex Water, United Utilities, Uisce Éireann, and Scottish Water Horizons.

Experience
A relevant degree and progression towards qualification with an applicable Professional Institution is required. You will have a solid background in Clean Water infrastructure, including a good understanding of Asset Management and/or Design within the Water Industry. Proven experience delivering potable water projects (modelling, design, and/or asset management) to a high standard is essential.

About you
You will have strong presentation, written, and verbal communication skills in English. The ability to work independently on technical matters and provide support to others within the team is important. Good IT skills are paramount, particularly with MS Office, GIS, and network modelling software packages such as InfoWorks WS Pro, Synergi, and Epanet, along with the ability to quickly learn new software. This role involves client-facing activities, so professionalism and excellent communication skills are a must. We are looking for candidates with a range of skills and experience to collectively strengthen our team’s capacity and technical and applied project management capabilities.
