About the Role
At WSP, you will have the opportunity to work on landmark projects and collaborate with leading experts in air quality. As a Senior or Principal Consultant within the Air Quality team, your primary duties will include dispersion modelling using ADMS and ADMS-Roads, designing and implementing ambient air quality monitoring plans (both passive and automatic), contributing to bid submissions, preparing quotes and tenders, and managing projects to budget, programme, and scope. You will liaise with internal and external clients, project teams, and Local Authorities, collate and analyse data, and produce clear, concise reports. Additionally, you will be expected to contribute to business development and raise the profile of the air quality team at a senior level.

You will join a team of over 35 air quality professionals working on a diverse range of projects including major national and international projects across sectors such as water, mining, land development, transport infrastructure, energy (carbon capture/nuclear), indoor air quality, and air quality policy. The role involves air quality assessment and monitoring with a strong focus on dispersion modelling for road, power, industrial, and odour projects. The team also provides input into Habitats Regulations Assessment (HRA), Health Impact Assessment (HIA), bespoke modelling (CFD, dense gas, Calpuff), and behaviour change campaigns.

While based regionally in Basingstoke, there are extensive opportunities to collaborate with the wider UK and international air quality teams on a variety of projects, enabling professional growth and exposure to cutting-edge work.
