A little more about your role...

Our WSP People Movement team are looking to recruit a People Movement Consultant or Senior Consultant to join our growing team. The role can be based from any WSP UK & Ireland office - including Birmingham, Leeds, London and Manchester offices - with hybrid working allowing for a mix of in-office and home working.

Why Are We Hiring?

• The People Movement team has undergone rapid growth over the last three years – in part mirroring WSP’s global growth – but also due to the team pro-actively pushing into new areas to unlock this vast potential from our colleagues and clients.  As a result, we need to hire again!
• The UK’s People Movement team is by far the largest team globally within WSP to offer pedestrian movement analysis services. As such, we are considered a Centre of Excellence and collaborate with colleagues from around the world on Rail, Sports, Aviation, Cultural, High-Rise Buildings, Major Event Planning, Masterplanning and many other sectors, providing a diverse range of challenges and experiences.
• Whilst we have a strong pipeline of work to deliver, we are also very much focussed on what’s coming next. Developing new services is key to our plans and we need intelligent consultants able to think in new ways, keen to try new things and dedicated to delivering outstanding service for our clients.

About the Role – Technical

• We require Pedestrian Modellers who can undertake hands-on modelling, covering all aspects from processing demand through building models, undertaking analysis and compiling reports.
• You will attend project meetings with key stakeholders and clients, supporting more-senior staff within the team, as a way to learn and develop future consulting skills.
• As part of your typical day-to-day activities, you will have the chance to interface with other disciplines in order to obtain latest design and operational inputs as well as to inform them of pedestrian modelling and other outputs from our work. As a result, you will broaden your knowledge and understanding of multiple technical sectors with whom we interface.
• As you progress, you may be asked to input into and manage the scope and programme for smaller projects, monitoring financials and progress on an ongoing basis, or parts of larger projects, directed and supported by a Project Manager.
