WSP Arboriculture and Forestry

[Harvey2018]

Hi Guys,

 

Anyone got any experience or heard about this firm?  They seem huge, asked us to do some subby work for them, but I have never even heard of them.

 

They appear to be a global company like balfour beatty etc but just seems odd I have never even seen them around, very generic website, but they appear to float on the stock market.

 

As always your insite and knowledge would be of great use.

 

Many thanks

Hey, I worked there for a whole year. 

WSP is a Canadian company and they've been basically buying up all the consultants around, you may remember them as Parsons Brinkerhoff  - probably around 7000 employees in the UK -  civil engineers, architects, ecologists, air quality guys, etc etc. 

they're huge. 

They do projects nationally, one of their major clients is HS2, Network Rail, Highways England, some bigger county councils and so on- basically large scale work that needs to be done on the cheap 

 

The Arb team is probably still very tiny (up to 10 people) so I guess they do rely on subbies quite a bit. 

Good place to work for if you're looking for an exponential learning curve. 

 

Let me know if you have any questions
