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.

WSP are seeking an enthusiastic and talented Digital Engineer to join the Roads team based in one of our offices listed above. We welcome applications from engineers at varying stages of their career, with the role shaped around capability and experience.

You’ll work alongside a diverse group of professionals ranging from early career engineers to established engineers and project managers across the Roads business and other disciplines. Together, you will improve local and strategic road networks and develop a broad range of infrastructure projects.

Your role will be central to a high performing and supportive team, using your skills and expertise to help maintain and improve the quality of our engineering outputs.

You can expect to deliver:
- Highway design solutions such as access and haul roads supporting National Grid’s Great Grid Upgrade portfolio
- A wide variety of highway improvements for National Highways on their Scheme Delivery Framework
- Road design and improvements for various local highway authorities in the surrounding area
- Opportunities to develop experience in utilities, carbon, digital and drainage through large multi-disciplinary projects
- Contribution to various large multi-disciplinary projects coming online

Key Duties
- Work within multi-disciplinary teams to deliver innovative highway and infrastructure solutions
- Deliver engineering outputs for projects or work packages of varying scale, complexity, value, and stage, often across multiple concurrent projects
- Apply digital automation, data-driven design, and computational tools (e.g. AI-assisted data analysis workflows, Python, C++, Dynamo) to improve engineering delivery
- Deliver measurable improvements in design efficiency, coordination, quality, and carbon performance through digital tools and automation
- Reduce repetitive manual effort and improve data reliability through scripting, data pipelines, and model-driven workflows
- Collaborate closely with Project and Technical Delivery teams, including supporting carbon measurement using WSP’s Future Ready programme
- Develop and maintain reusable digital tools, scripts, templates, and documentation to support consistent and efficient project delivery
- Use platforms such as Microsoft Azure and the Power Platform (Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate), alongside Python, to create integrated, data-driven workflows
- Support digital delivery within BIM and CDE environments (e.g. ProjectWise, Autodesk Forma/ACC), aligned with ISO 19650 principles and CAD QA/QC processes
- Contribute to compliance with Health & Safety, environmental legislation, and in-house quality assurance processes
- Participate in knowledge sharing, mentoring, and continuous improvement initiatives, contributing to the development of digital engineering standards and best practice
- Support the integration of emerging digital technologies (e.g. GIS, digital twins, IoT where appropriate) into infrastructure project delivery

Experience
- Understanding of highway engineering principles preferred
- Knowledge of relevant design standards and codes such as Design Manual for Roads & Bridges, Manual for Streets, TSRGD, and Local Authority design guidance preferred
- Experience with data handling using MS Excel and/or other data-based systems
- Good communication skills engaging with clients, developers, consultants, elected representatives, and the public
- Good organisational skills and strong attention to detail

About you
Enthusiastic and motivated engineer eager to contribute to multi-disciplinary teams and deliver high-quality digital engineering solutions. Willingness to learn and adapt to new digital tools and workflows is essential. Collaborative mindset with a passion for innovation and continuous improvement.
