My day to day sees me perform project management tasks such as subcontractor management, oversite over site works to ensure all works are done as per design. As well as this I look after tendering, planning, and procureing items for future works.

I feel like I am contributing to my community/country through the projects I am involved with, and that I am doing work that is meaningful to my own career development, the business itself and to society. I am also involved with a committee at work, so my role is not just limited to being an engineer; I also have other committee responsibilities.

Pros and cons of working at WSP New Zealand

Pros

  • The amazing people! Everyone is so lovely and genuinely wants to help.

  • Good flexible working - can work from home, another NZ office, or potentially even overseas.

  • Opportunities to work and gain experience on large-scale projects.

  • Great communication between senior staff and graduates.

  • Worldwide and nationwide opportunities and connections, exciting projects and knowledgeable seniors.

Cons

    • Workload fluctuates, sometimes it's busy, other times light with little to do.

    • Utilization targets put pressure on training and development time.

    • The pay is less than what I believe I should be getting for my role.

    • Parking is an issue, especially with the office located in the CBD.
