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 key responsibilities will include dispersion modelling primarily using ADMS and ADMS-Roads; designing and implementing ambient air quality monitoring plans using both passive and automatic techniques; 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.
