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. A little more about your role… Join our Bridges team in Gloucester at an exciting time, as we embark on the early stages of WSP's long-term professional services partnership with Gloucestershire County Council (GCC). This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in a truly collaborative client relationship, working side-by-side with GCC within their offices and becoming an integral part of their team. Rather than operating as an external consultant, you'll work closely with client officers, contribute directly to strategic decision-making, and help shape the successful delivery of critical infrastructure projects across the county. You will work within a team of established professionals with an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the varied structures within the county. You will be further supported by structures colleagues from across WSP who provide additional resources and specialist expertise to deliver high quality services across the county. This is an exciting time to join the team with GCC providing considerable additional funding to the structures programme to protect and improve their structural assets. We have an extensive programme of design, assessment and inspection schemes to provide a fast paced and varied workload. As a Senior Engineer within the team you will play a vital role in leading projects to maintain and enhance structures across the County, always ensuring we deliver value for Gloucestershire’s highway users. In addition, Gloucestershire has an ambitious programme of major projects to enhance the transport network and boost the economy of the county. These provide further potential to be involved in the design and construction of notable new structures. What we will be looking for you to demonstrate… A passion for working on projects that make a real difference to local communities. A mature approach to Health and Safety, promoting high standards and setting an example for the team, colleagues and clients. An excellent knowledge of the relevant legislation which you can use to drive compliance on your project and among colleagues. Experience in the development of highways structures projects, assessments and/or inspections. Evidence of being a confident communicator able to convey your point of view and keep stakeholders and colleagues informed. Working towards Incorporated or Chartered status with a professional institution. A civil engineering degree or equivalent qualification. Don’t quite meet all the criteria? Apply, and we can see how your experience aligns to this role and other opportunities within the team. Imagine a better future for you and a better future for us all. Join our close-knit community of talented individuals who share your passion for making a positive impact. Our global team includes more than 69,000 employees, working together to make a difference in communities both close to home and around the world. With us, you can. Apply today. #LI-MD1
