Empowering apprentices to shape a better world.

From day one Apprentices will work on projects improving the world around us. We are engineers, scientists, advisors who tackle exciting projects everyday. We value ambition, passion and innovation. We empower apprentices to become future ready professionals.

We offer two apprenticeship programmes designed to launch your career: The Advanced Apprenticeship and the Degree Apprenticeship. The Level 3 Advanced Apprenticeship is a 2 to 3 year journey combining hands on experience with college learning, culminating in an end point assessment. You will have the opportunity to progress onto the Level 6 Degree Apprenticeship. The Degree Apprenticeship is a 5 to 6 year journey, where you’ll work towards a full undergraduate degree at a university while gaining practical, on the job expertise. You will have the opportunity to become registered with a relevant professional institution. Each September, a new cohort of apprentices start their journey together, building lasting connections from day one. Both pathways offer permanent, full time roles with twenty percent of your time dedicated to academic development. From the very start, you’ll be supported by the Early Careers Team and paired with a buddy, ensuring you have guidance and encouragement every step of the way. Curious? Apply today and let’s shape a better world together.

Testimonials

I am an important part of the team

At WSP all the staff who I have had the privilege to work with have made me feel incredibly valued as an employee and despite being an apprentice I really do feel like I am an important part of the team.

I have enjoyed every interaction I have had with anyone from WSP

I have enjoyed every interaction I have had with anyone from WSP. The apprenticeship has offered me the chance to understand the sector and business in a unique way, and it allows me to guide my own development as well.

I have been able to grow as an Early Career Professional

I have had consistent support from my colleagues and have been made to feel like a valued member of the team. I have developed a broad understanding of engineering; despite having no engineering background and I have been able to grow as an Early Career Professional.
I joined WSP 8 years ago as an apprentice studying Building Services Engineering. I feel extremely proud to be part of WSP, a company who are committed to the growth and development of their staff and thankful to work in an engaging, motivating & diverse environment. It’s been amazing to have had the opportunity to work on some of the biggest Rail projects in Europe, learning from knowledgeable engineers, whilst studying academic qualifications.
