I was able to be moved amongst teams to provide a broader experience of my internship and expand my learning. To seek this opportunity I was able to have a discussion with my manager and able to come up with a solution to make the move work.
The promotion possibilities, as far as I know, in my role involve increases alongside your years of experience and engineer certification progressions (chartership and so on...). There are different paths such as team/project managers or purely senior/principal engineer positions. To move up these positions is a combination of experience, skill, work ethic, and recognition of these things through systems like thrive. Yes, I think my employer provides opportunities to fulfil career aspirations due to the size and scope of different work that WSP engages in.
I have accessibility to a number of different engineering sectors which helps me explore different areas of interest.
