A Little More About Your Role…
This is your opportunity to manage the delivery of large-scale projects in our Planning, Property and Advisory (PPA) discipline.

For this role, our client, based in the Greater London area, is about to embark on a large scale expansion that will require the expertise of technical specialists across many of WSP’s disciplines. Working within our Project Management Office (PMO), based in our London or Guildford offices, but with frequent visits to our client’s office, you will manage a multi-million-pound project for our Land Services team, which is based in offices around the UK and in India.
You will be responsible for overseeing the delivery of the project and ensuring the objectives are clearly defined, appropriately resourced and successfully delivered within the agreed time, cost, and quality constraints. You will follow our Business Management System in terms of project and commercial governance and will work with external and internal stakeholders to ensure that project success criteria are managed and realised. You will work with the Project Director and Technical Leads to support the client through complex processes, anticipating their needs, managing their and our risks and ensuring that everyone’s expectations are aligned. You will have an assistant project manager and a project coordinator at your disposal and be responsible for ensuring their tasks and objectives are clearly defined and are being met within the workload.
You, along with the Project Director will be responsible for the Safety, Health and Well-being of everyone working on the project. You will enable a diverse environment and culture where everyone feels included and follow WSP’s guiding principles at all times.
