Creating a Competitive Advantage
“WSP offers the very best of both worlds; it is a large global organization with a very deep pool of highly skilled resources that has managed to retain the customer and employee-focused culture of smaller consulting companies. At all levels of the organization I have found WSP’s people to be motivated, engaged and energized. We think it’s quite simple – working with WSP gives us a competitive advantage.” Operations Director, Burcote Wind
