WSP Graduate Engineers - Structures

We are hiring Graduate Engineers to join our Structures team in the Christchurch office, starting in early 2026.
Our Graduate roles are for those completing their relevant Bachelor’s or Master’s degree by the end of 2025 with less than one year of relevant work experience as a Graduate (internships do not count toward the one-year maximum).
If you have more than one year of work experience as a Graduate, please instead apply for a role of interest through our careers site.

WSP Graduate Programme
We don’t simply employ Graduates; we foster and enrich them. Naturally, there is a lot to learn, and you are likely to be guided through complex software packages, team briefings, and client updates from the start.
You’ll also have access to our award-winning Graduate Development Programme. With our two-year programme, you own your career and drive your success. We provide you with the tools, support, and environment to flourish.
On a day-to-day basis, the life of a Graduate at WSP typically starts off in the morning with a walk, bike, or drive to the office and then responding to any urgent client emails. Beyond that, anything could happen!

You could be involved in report writing, modelling, or design calculations in 3D software packages. Your day could also involve visiting sites and liaising with contractors, discussing options for concept designs with colleagues, responding to client requests for information, or meetings with the team about the scope and progress of projects.

WSP Property and Buildings Sector
We see enormous potential to make more sustainable buildings and places, and we’re excited by the opportunities this can unlock for our clients and their communities. Our local teams design structures of all shapes and sizes, drawing on our deep global expertise and digital innovations to engineer some of the world’s most complex, impactful projects, and adding value at every stage. From high-rise buildings with sustainability at their core, to mixed-use masterplans transforming major cities, to essential facilities for healthcare, education, science and leisure, our engineers play a crucial role in delivering the infrastructure of a healthier, more equitable, zero-carbon world.
Our client-centric approach considers the full asset lifecycle from front-end planning, environmental assessments, design, and operation, through to the renewal to drive outcomes for our clients and their customers in the communities we serve.
Our teams cover consultancy, engineering, and research, enabling us to bring confidence and innovative approaches to transport projects that serve our local communities.
