Project Director – Defence Infrastructure
We are WSP - Join us and make your career future ready!
In today’s world it’s important to work for a company that has clear purpose, giving back to communities and supporting what is truly important in the world.
Our Programme Management and Commercial Management (PMCM) Services is a brand-new discipline in WSP UK. It provides a broad range of project-related services to our clients, including project management, portfolio management and programme management, cost management, commercial management, construction management, and building surveying. It also features a major project, multi-disciplinary design management capability.
With a strong track record serving clients from across industries including Water, Energy, Defence and Transportation, our new PMCM discipline has big ambitions to become a market leader for this offering across the UK. We’re looking to grow the business with capable, energised and professional expertise across all our major offices.
Our UK head of PMCM Graeme Forbes said: “We offer multi-disciplinary advice, capability, and solutions at every stage of the project life cycle, solving the most complex challenges facing our clients. From game-changing transport schemes to energy or defence mega projects, and everything in between, we have huge potential to become a go-to, trusted PMCM partner for many existing and new clients. As a multi-sector discipline, we are perfectly placed to capture and share good practices that deliver benefits to all our clients and society at large, bringing together all capabilities across WSP. By moving away from the service-led approach of the past, we are better positioned to present our services direct to market.”
