We’re looking for an Urban Designer to join our team at WSP. You’ll help shape creative, sustainable, and people-focused places across the Middle East — contributing to innovative master plans that respond to the region’s growth, climate, and cultural context.

This role offers the opportunity to work on large-scale, design-led urban projects alongside a multidisciplinary team of designers, planners, engineers, and sustainability experts. You’ll be involved in all stages of the design process — from concept development to detailed planning — while learning from experienced mentors and contributing your own ideas to help shape the cities of tomorrow.

Responsibilities

• Support the design and delivery of master planning and urban design projects across the region.
• Assist in developing design concepts, layouts, and visual materials that communicate strong ideas and project vision.
• Prepare drawings, diagrams, reports, and presentations for clients and internal teams.
• Use design and analytical tools such as AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Suite, SketchUp, Rhino, and GIS to support spatial analysis and design outputs.
• Collaborate with landscape architects, planners, engineers, and sustainability specialists to deliver coordinated, high-quality master plans.
• Contribute to workshops and design charrettes, providing creative input and visual storytelling.
• Support senior team members in research, site analysis, and design development, ensuring design quality and consistency.
• Assist with proposal graphics, bid content, and project documentation as part of business development efforts.
• Stay curious, continue learning, and engage with new digital tools, sustainability frameworks, and design trends shaping the future of urbanism.

Qualifications

• A degree in Urban Design, Architecture, Landscape Architecture, or a related discipline; a master’s degree in Urban Design or Master planning is preferred.
• 4 to 6 years of professional experience in urban design or master planning, ideally within the Middle East or on large-scale, mixed-use projects.
• A strong creative mindset with the ability to generate innovative and context-sensitive design ideas.
• Good visual communication and presentation skills, with an eye for detail and design quality.
• Proficiency in software such as AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Suite, SketchUp, and MS Office; familiarity with Rhino, GIS, or data-visualisation tools like Power BI is an advantage.
• A solid understanding of sustainable urbanism, placemaking principles, and integrating landscape-led design.
• Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to work collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams.
• A proactive attitude, openness to feedback, and enthusiasm for continuous learning and professional growth.
• Membership (or eligibility) in a professional body such as RTPI, UDG, PIA, ASLA, or equivalent is desirable.
• A passion for designing better, more liveable, and enduring urban environments.
