About the Role
At WSP, you will have the opportunity to work on landmark projects within the fast-paced Data Centre sector as part of our Mission Critical Facilities team.

Coordination with other disciplines such as Architects and Structural Engineers is essential, as is monitoring installation to ensure compliance with design specifications and safety codes.

We value fresh perspectives and promote young talent to foster innovation and energy within our projects.
