- Supporting work winning through bids, proposals and strategic business development
- Contributing to innovation such as Digital EIA, Technical Excellence and Future Ready EIA

- Supporting the wider WSP business strategy through proactive and collaborative working

Experience
- Strong experience delivering and coordinating EIAs within multi-disciplinary teams

- Experience of work winning, bid preparation or proposals

About you
You’ll be an enthusiastic and capable environmental professional who enjoys influencing and delivering complex projects.
