Civil Infrastructure Engineers – Engineer, Senior & Principal

Arup’s purpose, shared values and collaborative approach have set us apart for 80 years, guiding how we shape a better world.

We work with clients to plan, build, integrate and maintain a wide variety of civil infrastructure, from bridges to reservoirs, from metro tunnels to off‑shore wind farms. Our technical teams address every aspect of civil engineering design, working in close collaboration with the full breadth of Arup’s other design and engineering disciplines.

The Opportunity

Climate change Climate change refers to long‑term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.

Scotland's infrastructure is undergoing significant transformation to support decarbonisation, energy security, economic growth and community resilience. We are seeking talented Civil Engineers at a range of grades (including Engineer, Senior Engineer and Principal Engineer) to join our growing Glasgow based Energy Water & Resources team to support the delivery of projects that will make this possible.

Our current portfolio covers a wide range of multi‑disciplinary projects in the Renewable Energy, Water, Maritime and Defence sectors. Typical examples include; pumped storage hydro developments, HV transmission infrastructure, major wastewater utility renewals and ports and harbour regeneration projects, alongside a proven track record in urban realm redevelopment and wider civil engineering infrastructure. These projects range from local interventions to nationally significant programmes, providing opportunities to work on schemes that create lasting value for communities, industry and the environment.

Whether supporting project development in its early stages or helping to solve complex challenges during delivery, you will play a key role in shaping practical and sustainable engineering solutions. Our projects and clients continue to evolve alongside changing industry priorities, so we are looking for engineers who are curious, adaptable and motivated to learn. In return, we will support your professional growth through exposure to challenging projects, collaboration with leading specialists and opportunities to develop both technical and leadership skills.

You will take ownership of project delivery activities, help shape technical solutions, and contribute to the development of both our clients' projects and the wider team.
