We are committed to providing students with valuable work experience whether it be for an 8 week summer placement or a 1 year work placement.  We are unable to offer shorter experience placements over Easter or Christmas as this would dilute the value of such a placement.

Whilst we do take on a number of the above each year the majority of our placements are via official university or industry run schemes such as ICE Quest. Therefore in order to be guaranteed a work placement with WSP you should speak to your university or professional institute and see if such a scheme exists.

If however you would like to make a speculative application for a Summer placement in 2012, or a year in industry from June 2012, please apply via this vacancy. However, please note you will only be contacted should we have a suitable placement opportunity arise, due to volume of applications we cannot respond to unsuccessful applications or provide individual feedback. Please note we will not review the above requests until May 2012.
