At WSP, you’ll find yourself exploring new opportunities to make the most of your expertise, work with deep technical experts across multiple sectors, working in a crucial and growing area of WSP business – transport policy monitoring and evaluation.

WSP’s Intelligent Infrastructure discipline works across a wide range of clients in transport and beyond. While the goals of the transport system remain unchanged – to help people and goods move around the country – the underpinning drivers of the system continue to evolve, with priorities around carbon (net zero), climate change resilience, safety and security (zero harm), digitisation, customers (meeting shifting demands and expectation), and efficiency (achieving more for less), all key considerations of those designing, managing and operating the transport system. It is essential that policies to meet these sometimes-opposing priorities have robust, credible and usable monitoring and evaluation plans to provide our clients with evidence of “what works?” alongside a deep understanding of “why?” to enable the efficient operation and effective evolution of the UK’s transport system.

YOUR NEW ROLE, WHATS INVOLVED?

The successful candidate will work alongside senior experts and collaboratively with other specialists across WSP, matching your monitoring & evaluation skills with technical skills in areas like energy, roads, rail, and active travel to provide a strong and tailored offering for our clients. You will work on a wide range of monitoring & evaluation projects at a central and local government level, resulting in a varied and diverse portfolio.

A typical week would include:

Supporting delivery of a multi-discipline monitoring and evaluation project, ranging from assessing evaluability, to scoping, to designing monitoring and evaluation frameworks, to delivering evaluations of local and national transport policies.

Working with our Clients, to provide expert monitoring and evaluation advice to support their objectives.

Collaborating with resources from other internal specialist WSP teams to ensure that your projects bring in the expertise and skills needed to meet the project needs.

WE’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM IF YOU HAVE

• Experience of undertaking research, including quantitative data analysis

• A proven technical capability in the design and execution of monitoring and evaluation frameworks of policies.

• An understanding of government guidance on monitoring and evaluation, for example through the Magenta Book, Green Book, or DfT’s TAG Guidance on evaluation.
