Contaminated Land & Soil Remediation Graduate (Feb 2024)

Join our team of intelligent and collaborative Changemakers and make your mark on tomorrow! In this role, you’ll work with the Contaminated Land & Soil Remediation Team. You will develop your future-ready skills and make an impact in our increasingly urbanised and densified environment. As greenfield sites become scarce, there is a need to rehabilitate existing sites for new uses. The effective mitigation of potential risks to human health and the environment is also a key performance measure for many businesses. In dealing with the impact of site contamination, we are increasingly focused on sustainable solutions that support long-term human health and environmental values. At WSP, we are committed to nurturing and developing the next generation of diverse Changemakers through mentorship and structured development programs. Being part of an inclusive global firm, you will have access to a variety of opportunities, and the support you need to progress your career and make your mark from day one.

Our Environment team is solving some of Australia’s biggest challenges. We are preserving and improving our built and natural environments, finding ways to use and re-use our resources, and building safe and future ready infrastructure to support places where communities can thrive.

As a Graduate, your ability to learn and grow is our number one priority. You will be inducted into a two-year blended graduate program that will enhance your professional, personal and relationship-building skills, providing you with a wide range of development opportunities on your journey from graduate to emerging professional and beyond.

You will need to be analytical, curious, and passionate about continuing your learning. This role will suit someone who is able to think critically, ask questions, and take responsibility for finding solutions.
