Development at WSP

Consultant, project manager or manager? You are the driving force and we provide you with the right conditions to develop your career with us.

With us, you can focus on a career as an expert in your field or devote yourself to assignment management and be responsible for larger and more complex projects. You can also choose a manager career or to develop on the market side of WSP.

A large part of your development as a consultant happens in the assignments in which you participate in, and the experiences you gain along the way. In addition, we believe that continuous development in other ways, such as education, is also an important part of the success for us as a company and for you as an individual. As an employee at WSP, you have access to a number of networks and courses, both in Sweden and abroad.

One of our most important business goals is to  develop with our employees. To ensure that we have the right expertise for the future, we have several programs to identify and take care of our future talents and support them in their development. Welcome to read more about our career development programs.

Career development programs

  • Leadership Forum is our global talent network where those who have shown high performance and the potential to grow into more senior roles - and/or are identified as a role model - can participate. The program gives you both individual leadership development and access to new contacts among WSP employees worldwide.
  • Nordic Taskforce is our career development program aimed at employees in the Nordic countries who are between 28 and 34 years old. Each year, the group is also commissioned by the management team to illuminate an strategic issue from different points of view.
  • Global Exchange is an exchange program where our leading experts in various fields of knowledge, based on various technical themes, get the opportunity to travel and connect with colleagues within WSP in other countries.
  • Reach Development program is a program for personal development where employees receive help and tools to strengthen their growth mindset and thereby increase their development potential going forward.

Sustainability mentors

Sustainability mentors is a reversed mentoring program where young talented colleagues, with knowledge of sustainability issues, are paired with more senior colleagues who want to be more up-to-date and at the same time support younger people in the industry. This pairing leads to increased collaboration between different units and an exchange of knowledge that benefits the entire company.

Growspark's intrapreneurial track

Within WSP Sweden's innovation program Growspark, there are three tracks: a startup track where we collaborate with startups, an international track where we share innovations between our global regions and an intrepreneur track where we develop our own ideas for new services and sustainable business.

As an intrepreneur in the program, you start from a need or an innovative idea in the area where you work. You receive training in innovation theory and coaching from Growspark's core team, while at the same time being responsible for driving the development process itself. We follow a structured work process and scientific methodology to identify client needs, test solutions and maximise the chances of success.
