At WSP, you can access our global scale, contribute to landmark projects and connect with the brightest minds in your field to do the best work of your life. You can embrace your curiosity in a culture that celebrates new ideas and diverse perspectives.
Join our dynamic Mining team who are drivers of change, guiding our clients towards sustainable mining practices. Critical minerals and mining play a vital role in the low carbon future as clean energy technologies such as wind, solar and batteries are more material intensive than current traditional fossil-fuel-based energy systems.
We are looking for graduates for our teams, who have a flexible approach and an appetite to learn in a leading Engineering and Professional Advisory services consultancy.
We are recruiting for Graduates in the following services and locations:
* Mine Water – Hydrology / Water resources engineering, Hydrogeology and Geochemistry – Naas Ireland, Birmingham or London
* Mine Waste – Naas Ireland, Sheffield, Leeds, Birmingham or London.
Working as a graduate in our Mining team will mean that you contribute to all parts of the mining life cycle, from exploration and pre-feasibility through to mine closure, supporting our clients move towards sustainable mining practices.
Our teams have worked on some considerable projects, and you will be helping deliver projects such as:
* Water balance models and water management plans for mining organisation in the UK and Europe.
* Modelling for dam break assessments and evaluating their impacts on the environment and downstream communities for facilities in Europe.
* Conducting detailed engineering designs of hydraulic structures for mine sites.
* Operational and closure water quality modelling for mines around the globe.
* Passive mine water treatment for abandoned historic metal mines.
* Contributions to Environmental and Social Impact Assessments for projects in Greenland and West Africa.
* Numerical modelling to update and refine existing mine models and assess inflow from planned mine expansions.
* Evaluating potential options for a leading mining organisation to reach their water reduction targets across sites globally.
* Designing and detailed hydrogeological field programme for feasibility studies and monitoring for mine sites in Europe.
You will be embedded in an enthusiastic and supportive multidisciplinary team working closely with geotechnical engineers, resource geologists, surface water engineers and mine waste engineers.
Day-to-day Activities Could Include:
* Working with the team to develop hydrological models.
* Developing Water engineering solutions.
* Preparation of technical documents including descriptions of investigations, results, conclusions and recommendations under supervision.
To apply, you’ll have graduated with at least a 2:2 in a master’s or bachelor’s degree in a relevant subject for the role you are applying for.
Candidates must complete the application form in full answering all specific questions. Successful completion of this stage is mandatory.
You’ll be looking to start work in either April or September 2026. You’ll have the ability to interpret and monitor results using a variety of tools to monitor design geotechnical structures and assisting clients with operational requirements.
