We help clients across the built environment navigate an increasingly complex set of challenges, from climate adaptation and resource pressures to societal change and AI adoption. Climate risks are materialising, resources are becoming more constrained, expectations are rising and technology is advancing rapidly, all while funding is tight, teams are stretched and competing change priorities continue to grow. We bring a systems-thinking approach to this complexity, connecting people, technology, governance, and culture to help organisations improve performance and become more resilient, adaptive and fit for the future.

As an Associate, you will be a trusted adviser to senior client stakeholders, leading projects and helping clients tackle complex organisational challenges. You will get to the root of problems, identify where change will have the greatest impact and bring together the right expertise from across WSP to shape and deliver practical solutions. You will often lead the client interface, guiding clients through change while building the capability and confidence needed to sustain results.

We welcome applicants from a range of backgrounds, including behavioural science, psychology, organisational development and business transformation.

Although our team is spread across the UK, we work closely together, with established hubs in London, Manchester and Birmingham. We welcome applicants based in any of our UK WSP offices.

This position sits at the intersection of organisational performance, sustainability, societal and technological change. Our work reflects that breadth, helping clients embed sustainability into their organisations, harness AI responsibly, and reshape how they operate to drive growth and improved performance. Whatever the challenge, we take a systems-thinking approach, bringing together people, technology, governance, culture and sustainability to create practical, lasting change.

You will join the Transformation and Digital Insights team at an exciting point in its growth, with the opportunity not only to deliver complex and varied client work, but to help shape the future of Transformation at WSP and build a high-performing, market-recognised advisory practice.
