Degrees and Disciplines at WSP
When will I start working?
Our Graduates typically start early to mid-February. There is some flexibility on start date, and we can sometimes offer earlier start dates. Start date will be discussed and agreed at the time of offer.
We have across New Zealand from Whangarei to Invercargill (and everywhere in between). We try to accommodate the preferences of individual applicants. However, because of the volume of graduate applications, it is not always possible to offer you your first choice. The more flexible you can be regarding location, the more opportunities will be open to you.
What salary does WSP offer?
We offer a competitive salary, which varies slightly depending on academic qualifications and experience.
