  • \n
  • Identify, manage and negotiate project changes with clients.
  • \n
  • Ensure compliance with our Integrated Management System, including audits and quality checks.
  • \n
  • Apply risk management frameworks across all project processes.
  • \n
  • Champion a strong safety culture and ensure safe delivery for all teams.
  • \n

\n

What We'll Love About You

  • A Bachelor's degree in engineering or project management.
  • \n
  • 5+ years' experience and proven project delivery on D&C water infrastructure projects.
  • \n
  • Background in engineering consulting with design management experience highly desirable.
  • \n
  • Strong interpersonal skills, with experience working across distributed teams.
  • \n
  • Ability to manage multiple tasks across several live projects.
  • \n
  • Good understanding of contracts, change management and drafting variations.
  • \n
  • Competency in cost reporting, financial analysis, Excel and Word.
  • \n
  • Experience setting up systems for project files, data control and compliance.
  • \n
  • Proven experience in managing project budgets and using financial tools.
  • \n
  • Strong written communication skills, including preparing high‐quality reports.
  • \n

Why Choose WSP?

\n

    \n
  • Competitive pay recognising your expertise.
  • \n
  • Inclusive culture that values diverse perspectives.
  • \n
  • Clear development pathways with mentoring and technical support.
  • \n
  • Flexible work options to balance life and work.

  • \n
  • Comprehensive benefits and support for returners.
  • \n
  • Up to 16 weeks paid parental leave.
  • \n
  • Option to purchase up to 4 additional weeks of leave.
  • \n
  • Opportunities to work across Australia and internationally.
  • \n
