In today’s world it’s important to work for a company that has clear purpose, giving back to communities and supporting what is truly important in the world.

When considering a career move it’s vital to work for a business that is aligned to your values and goals, a place where you can belong. See what WSP stands for in 2024 and beyond.

Your new role - what’s involved?
WSP is looking for a Senior Port Planner to join the Ports & Maritime team based in the UK in either London, Basingstoke or Newcastle.


As part of the team, you will have the opportunity to complement the wide experience of a highly knowledgeable and dynamic team of Ports & Maritime experts based in the UK and across the globe. 

As a Port Planner, you will work with some of the world’s leading port and maritime experts in the delivery of complex multi-cargo port masterplans, feasibility studies, operational audits, and due diligence assignments globally. 

You will liaise and interact closely with our in-house maritime advisory, engineering and environmental teams to deliver comprehensive masterplan layouts, reports and business plans for both greenfield and brownfield developments for a variety of commodity sectors including containers and breakbulk, dry bulk, liquid bulk, and marine facilities dedicated to the energy transition.

You will be trained in the use of our in-house proprietary masterplanning tool PRIME, to efficiently assess phased land use plans and associated CapEx and OpEx. Experience with port planning and/or simulation tools is desirable.

You will also play a proactive role in promoting maritime services internally and support other members of the wider WSP team in the roles they are required to perform. Proficient use of all usual Microsoft office-based software is essential. 

Your role will be office based; however, you will have an opportunity to visit sites in the UK and internationally. 

You will work in a highly inclusive and dynamic environment where collaboration, enthusiasm, and empathy are highly valued. With support and guidance of our team members, you will have an opportunity to broaden your existing skills and knowledge which will support you on your career path with WSP.
