Description
What if you could do the kind of work the world needs?
At WSP, you can access our global scale, contribute to landmark projects and connect with the brightest minds in your field to do the best work of your life. 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.

A little more about your role…

As an Assistant Project Manager within our Highways and Transport Service in Gloucestershire, you will play a key role in helping us achieve the timeliness and quality we give our client, Gloucestershire County Council (GCC).

In Gloucestershire we provide highways, bridges and related services to the County Council, supporting their aim of maintaining and improving a safe and efficient highways network.  Now is a great time to join the local team.  We are right at the start of a long-term professional services contract, working in partnership with GCC from their offices in Shire Hall, Gloucester. Our work encompasses a diverse range and scale of projects, from designing minor drainage improvements to major projects like the £250m M5 Junction 10 infrastructure project.

You will form part of our local Project Management Team, supporting our local leadership and our technical delivery teams with programming, resourcing and reporting on project delivery. You will liaise with WSP colleagues locally, regionally and further afield to help maintain the high standards of project delivery and resource management.  You will support our technical delivery teams with their finance management, reporting of milestones and supporting client feedback. 

What we will be looking for you to demonstrate…

  • A passion for working on projects that make a real difference to local communities.
  • A mature and self-aware approach to health and safety, setting an example for colleagues. 
  • Project management experience, ideally in a highways or construction related environment.
  • Experience of managing project programmes, resource tracking and financial reporting.
  • Evidence of being a confident communicator able to convey your point of view and keep stakeholders and colleagues informed.
  • A recognised APM qualification, or equivalent, would be an advantage but not essential. 

Don’t quite meet all the criteria? Apply, and we can see how your experience aligns to this role and other opportunities within the team.

Imagine a better future for you and a better future for us all.

Join our close-knit community of talented individuals who share your passion for making a positive impact. Our global team includes more than 69,000 employees, working together to make a difference in communities both close to home and around the world. 

With us, you can. Apply today.
