Job 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.

You'll be part of our 300-strong technically diverse Intelligent Infrastructure business, delivering for a range of transportation and infrastructure clients - IntelligentInfrastructureservices (I&I) | WSP .

Our operations and safety group comprises around 70 committed experts from a range of engineering, science, academic and applied backgrounds. We are growing our vehicle automation team at an exciting point for the industry, as policy, technology, safety and operations come together to shape how automated mobility will be deployed in the real world.

Our work in operational safety is centred on understanding the safety impact of design, operation and technology in infrastructure, in support of reduction of harm to transport users, workers and other impacted parties. Through hazard identification, risk assessment and safety evaluation we put a safe systems approach into practice and support our clients’ decision making and safety governance.

In practice this means that your work as part of our operational safety group will:

• Take a systems view and understand the context - whatever the policy, process, technology or governance change we recognise that it will be only one part of a wider system.
• Put people at the heart of our designs and decision making - any policy, process or technology needs to be designed around people and the capability, opportunity and motivations that shape behaviours.
• Make safety inclusive - to ensure people feel comfortable and safe when using products and services and accessing transport, including populations with protected characteristics and neurodivergent needs.

The successful candidate will work collaboratively with other specialists across WSP, on commissions which may range from short-term advisory projects to long-term multi-disciplinary engineering design schemes; from responsive risk assessment and evaluation in the face of emerging challenges, through to shaping higher level safety governance approaches and application.
