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.

WSP is one of the world's leading engineering professional services consultancies. In the UK, our Building Structures team has been successfully delivering capital national infrastructure projects in the Energy sector—particularly within Transmission and Distribution—since the early 1990s. Our design teams are recognised as exemplars in the delivery of large, complex, multi‑disciplinary projects across the UK.

We are now entering a significant growth phase and are looking to expand our leadership team with experienced and ambitious professionals. If you're ready to take a strategic role in shaping the future of UK energy infrastructure, we'd love to hear from you.

The Role

As an Associate or Associate Director, you will take a senior leadership role in the delivery of structural engineering services for major energy infrastructure projects. These include Transmission and Distribution networks, Overhead Line (OHL) systems, power stations, and other critical energy assets.

You will be responsible for leading project teams, managing client relationships, and driving technical excellence and innovation across our portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead and oversee the structural design and delivery of complex energy infrastructure projects.
  • Provide strategic input into project planning, resourcing, and risk management.
  • Deliver structural solutions for substations, transmission and distribution facilities, OHL structures, and power stations.
  • Build and maintain strong client relationships, acting as a trusted advisor.
  • Mentor and develop junior engineers and technicians, fostering a culture of technical excellence.
  • Contribute to business development, including bids, proposals, and client presentations.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to deliver integrated and sustainable design solutions.
  • Support the development of best practices, innovation, and continuous improvement within the team.

About You

We're looking for an experienced leader with a strong technical foundation and a passion for infrastructure.

Ideally, experience in one or more of the following:

  • Substations
  • Transmission and Distribution infrastructure
  • Overhead Line (OHL) projects
  • Power stations
  • Petrochemical facilities

Proven ability to manage complex projects and lead multidisciplinary teams.

Strong commercial awareness and client‑facing skills.

What’s in it for you?

  • A senior role in delivering nationally significant energy infrastructure projects.
  • Career progression opportunities within a global consultancy.
  • Hybrid and flexible working arrangements.
  • Competitive salary, bonus, and benefits package.
  • A collaborative and inclusive team culture.
