Job Satisfaction at WSP New Zealand

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.

Rail engineer mainly sitting in project or site offices doing site inspections, designs and verification type of tasks.

Engineer, do small design tasks most days, as well as the odd larger project.

Some boring tasks but some good tasks

My role feeds off small jobs however wsp as a whole seems to prefer big jobs which means my workload is very volatile. One day I'll be doing a report for 8 hours and the next I'll be staring at a screen counting down the seconds.

I enjoy my day to day work on projects and the level of responsibility that im given. The projects are exciting and have variation

Aiding in ecological impact assessments, management plans, site visits, gis work, general aid in equipment maintenance and/or setup. I don't have set tasks for every day, almost every day is different. Over summer I am mostly out on site/in the field. In winter it is mostly desktop work as reports are due.

Working on sustainability projects which are driving change.

Writing resource consent applications, conducting plan checks

Working on projects within the water industry, doing design work, calculations, some inspections, report writing, analysis, mainly for watercare projects but also other clients

Writing resource consents, assessing planning policy

My role ended up being different than what I initially signed on to do, but I still enjoy it and get to do the work I expected sometimes. My role involves a lot of coding so it's mostly just different coding than planned

My day-to-day responsibilities include site inspections of mechanical systems for auckland's new city rail link. I also calculate heat loads for rooms based on the people and equipment within the room and then size a fan coil unit to service that room.

Ecological consultancy services I.e. Ecia, fauna monitoring day to day responsibilities range from fieldwork planning, project management, fieldwork, data management, and reporting

I have spent most of my time sitting behind a computer so far in my role. This contrasts to previous geotech roles where I have had lots of opportunity to get experience on site. with the change of government, the companies' ability to win work has significantly decreased. And with the loss of funding of trec it has only worsened. As a graduate the work that would typically trickle down to us is not happening anymore. This has made development extremely difficult.

Carrying out my project work that I am responsible for. Doing any quick tasks needed to be completed from senior team members and managers.

Could be as diverse and as uniform as you desire. From project management to asset management to design work.

Hydraulic modeling, water design and cad work

Stormwater asset inspections, occasional hydrogeology site works, design works, and a little bit of programme management.
