- Setting up and managing our project control systems to help deliver projects in a robust and consistent manner.
- Monitoring progress and collating technical inputs into assignments, liaising with technical teams,

- Monitoring and reporting on the financial performance of projects and project portfolios, helping us to meet our budgets.
- Contributing to the development of a close-knit and high-performing specialist renewables team.
This role reports to our Renewables Project Management Lead. At any one time you may work on multiple projects across the full project lifecycle, covering a range of work scopes and technologies. In a typical working week, our Assistant Project Managers are involved in many diverse activities, projects, and internal business functions.

YOUR TEAM
WSP’s team is growing, and with a firm strategy to significantly expand our renewable energy team further we are looking for capable and ambitious Assistant Project Managers.
We are equally keen to see applications from contractors, developers, financiers/lenders, and manufacturers, as well as those people with consultancy experience. WSP is building a team with a broad range, allowing us to provide industry-leading advice and value to our clients. WSP’s has a long history, and a significant future pipeline, focused on the delivery of high-quality technical advisory and management consultancy services in the renewable energy sectors.
We work on all the major renewable energy technologies (including offshore wind, onshore wind, solar PV, battery energy storage), including some of the world’s largest renewable energy and storage projects. We have established client relationships with many of the largest and most well-known developers, investors, and lenders in the industry, and we support their projects across the globe.
We'd love to hear from you if you have:
- A degree in a relevant engineering, technical or scientific discipline. A renewable energy related degree or post-graduate qualification would be great, and it is not essential,
- Some experience in supporting the delivery and project management of energy projects. Ideally this would be related to both UK and international utility scale renewable projects, though again knowledge, enthusiasm, and a willingness to learn and develop, are what we are looking for,
- A keen interest in the renewable energy industry, and some knowledge of the processes associated with developing renewable energy projects,
- Some experience in liaising directly with clients and in building client relationships,
- Some UK renewable energy market experience.
