Biz ‘Bite:’ WSP USA adds employees, expands service offerings in Boise

Leading engineering, environmental and professional services consultancy, WSP USA, is growing in the Boise area with additional staff and diversified services for clients.

WSP’s new Boise office on Entertainment Avenue is touted as having plenty of room to accommodate employee growth in a hybrid environment, with 25 employees and an anticipated future staff of up to 50 professionals.

“The office is in a great location just off the freeway, with a direct connection to downtown,” Karen Doherty, senior vice president and Northwest Pacific district lead at WSP, said in a statement. “Most of our staff are within a 20-to-30-minute commute and we are within a 20-minute drive to a majority of our Boise clients.”

WSP and its new partner firms, Golder, and the environment and infrastructure business of John Wood Group PLC, are currently working on the Transportation Expansion and Congestion Mitigation Risk Assessment project and were recently selected to design the replacement of the Boise Street Bridge in Horseshoe Bend.

In 2022, WSP finished a mechanical, electrical and plumbing design for the 11th and Idaho mixed-use building in downtown Boise and has worked on several health care facilities throughout Idaho.

According to Doherty, WSP currently has open positions and would like to hear from talented professionals interested in joining the team.
