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, while building a career as unique as you.

We are looking for graduates to join our Asset Design teams in 2027. This is an opportunity to work in a leading engineering and professional services consultancy, helping shape sustainable water and wastewater infrastructure from early optioneering through to design and commissioning, so communications remain safe, resilient and thriving. 

A little bit more about your role and the team…

As a Graduate in our Asset Design team, you will help create water and wastewater infrastructure that keeps communities safe, resilient and thriving. Working across civil, structural, mechanical, electrical instrumentation, energy and process engineering, you will support projects from early optioneering through to design and commissioning, helping deliver sustainable solutions that make a real difference.

You will work in multidisciplinary teams on real-world projects, helping to assess options, develop designs, support construction and commissioning, and consider how assets will perform throughout their lifecycle.

By challenging assumptions and refining options, we help clients make risk-based decisions that champion no-build and low-build solutions wherever possible, reducing environmental impact while delivering long-term value for communities and clients.

What we’re looking for

• You will have, or be on track to achieve, at least a 2:2 in a relevant bachelor’s or master’s degree.

• You will be looking to start work in September 2027.

• You will be interested in water and wastewater infrastructure, asset design and sustainable engineering.

• You will be curious, collaborative and motivated to solve technical challenges.

• You will enjoy sharing ideas and learning from multidisciplinary project teams.

• You will balance technical, commercial, environmental and stakeholder needs.

• You will be keen to learn, build your skills and take ownership of your development.
