Our Business
Arup is a global design and consulting firm. We are professional advisors who use our combined global knowledge in a variety of fields to help solve problems for, and with, our clients and collaborators.
Because of the breadth of the firm’s offerings, your work may be focused on any number of areas including analysis, research, computer simulation, site visits, or design – it just depends on your skills and knowledge and how they complement our clients’ needs.
We know that Arup is not a household name. As consultants we’re often unnamed in the public sphere, even when our projects are iconic and regularly featured on the world stage. However, our work is highly respected within the industry you will be building your career, and we have been recognized as one of the top 100 global design firms and top 100 “pure” design firms by Engineering News Record.
Arup organizes itself into three main business sectors – buildings, infrastructure and consulting - that provide services in four Regions – the Americas, Australasia, East Asia and Europe. This “matrix” approach allows us to mobilize experts from around the world to provide client-focused solutions in any local market.
Infrastructure
Infrastructure, whether it be highways, bridges or new energy solutions, shapes our communities, our travels, and ultimately, our lives. Arup’s involvement in such projects goes beyond providing holistic and sustainable solutions.
Because our work is meant to serve many generations, our aim is to make life better for tomorrow, not just today. For you, this means an opportunity to join a market leader, shape our projects, have an impact on people’s lives, and become a technical and thought leader within the industry.
Working alongside professionals whose knowledge, skills, and global understanding are extensive and unmatched, you’ll develop a thorough understanding of our clients’ unique infrastructure needs and challenges, helping develop and deliver new and innovative solutions.
Opportunities are available in project disciplines such as bridges, water, site development, tunneling, rail, highways, geotechnical engineering, and transport planning.
Consulting
Arup creates value for our clients through the combination of our technical excellence and business acumen, with in-depth knowledge of our clients’ industries. This distinctive brand of consulting presents you with a variety of opportunities, from developing superior designs and products to problem solving with technology and improving performance through organizational change and program management.
There are a range of consulting disciplines that you can apply your skills and ideas to, including acoustics, facades, lighting, project management, risk, venue consulting, terminal planning, communications and IT, environmental engineering, fire engineering, audiovisual consulting, security consulting, and sustainability consulting.
Buildings
From the Opera House in Sydney, the Pompidou Centre in Paris, to the Beijing National Aquatics Centre (Water Cube), Arup buildings are known around the world as icons of outstanding architecture. As well as being striking to look at, they are designed to perform – using world leading technologies and materials to optimize performance and environmental sustainability.
Working within the buildings sector will provide you with the opportunity to be part of the team who design and deliver landmark projects, from new buildings and restorations to facades design and building infrastructure. If your interests are in engineering disciplines such as structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, facades and building physics, you might find your fit in the buildings business.
