Digital Engineer (Roads)

WSP is seeking an enthusiastic Digital Engineer to join the Roads team based in London, Cambridge, Basingstoke, Guildford or Southampton offices.

Deliverables:

• Highway design solutions such as access and haul roads to help deliver National Grid’s Great Grid Upgrade portfolio.
• A wide variety of highway improvements of varying scales for National Highways on their Scheme Delivery Framework.
• Road design and improvements for various local highway authorities in the surrounding area.
• Opportunity to develop experience in specific areas such as utilities, carbon, digital and drainage through work on large, multi-disciplinary projects.
• Various large multi-disciplinary projects coming online.

Key Duties:

• Work within multi-disciplinary teams to deliver innovative highway and infrastructure solutions.
• Deliver engineering outputs for projects or work packages of varying scale, complexity, value, and project stage, often across multiple concurrent projects.
• Apply digital automation, data‑driven design, and computational tools (e.g. AI‑assisted data analysis workflows/design checking/automation, Python, C++, Dynamo or similar) to improve engineering delivery.
• Deliver measurable improvements in design efficiency, coordination, quality, and carbon performance through digital tools and automation.
• Reduce repetitive manual effort and improve data reliability through scripting, data pipelines, and model‑driven workflows.
• Work closely with Project and Technical Delivery teams, including supporting carbon measurement using WSP’s Future Ready programme.
• Develop and maintain reusable digital tools, scripts, templates, and documentation to support consistent and efficient project delivery.
• Use platforms such as Microsoft Azure and the Power Platform (Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate), alongside Python, to create integrated, data‑driven workflows.
• Support digital delivery within BIM and CDE environments (e.g. ProjectWise, Autodesk Forma/ACC), aligned with ISO 19650 principles and CAD QA/QC processes.
• Contribute to compliance with Health & Safety, environmental legislation, and in‑house quality assurance processes.
• Participate in knowledge sharing, mentoring, and continuous improvement initiatives, contributing to the development of digital engineering standards and best practice.
• Support the integration of emerging digital technologies (e.g. GIS, digital twins, IoT where appropriate) into infrastructure project delivery.

What we will be looking for you to demonstrate:

• An understanding of highway engineering principles would be preferred.
• Some knowledge of relevant design standards and codes of best practice such as the Design Manual for Roads & Bridges, Manual for Streets, TSRGD, and Local Authority design guidance would be preferred.
• Experience of data handling with MS Excel and/or other data‑based systems.
• Good communication skills engaging with clients, developers, consultants, elected representatives and the public.
• Good organisational skills and an attention to detail.
