Your new role, what's involved?
As a Data Scientist Degree Apprentice in our Advisory, Data and Decision Science Team no two days will be the same. During your time as an Apprentice you can expect to develop tools using software such as Python, study applications of statistical techniques and use data and analytical techniques to measure and monitor the impact of projects across the entire asset lifecycle.
You will be a full-time, permanent employee, getting paid while working on exciting, real-world projects from day one. With support from your experienced team and dedicated buddy, you’ll gain hands-on experience in an inspiring environment. You will be equipped with the most sophisticated design tools, exploring fresh, new ways to design and build for our future, using the latest software, gaining technical experience while you learn on the job.
You’ll start your apprenticeship in September 2025, attending a local university for either one day per week or block placement, gaining a full undergraduate degree in your chosen subject. Typically, the Degree Apprenticeship takes between 5-6 years to complete (including End Point Assessment in England).
Our dedicated Early Careers team will work closely with you over the course of your apprenticeship to support and plan a development pathway that suits you. We also work together with local universities to make sure you are getting the best out of your apprenticeship.
As an Apprentice with WSP you will feel a sense of belonging in an environment where everyone feels respected and valued. We want you to be your true authentic self at work and be inspired, learn, discover, and feel empowered in your career.
"At WSP, I have experienced an environment of inclusivity, challenge and a true sense of belonging.”
