The Opportunity

This role involves working closely with other Arup teams (e.g., environmental specialists, planners, geotechnical and building engineers, infrastructure civil engineers) to deliver integrated multidisciplinary consultancy services to a wide range of clients. There will be opportunities to support other environmental teams, such as EIA, air quality, archaeology, and ecology, helping you develop broader environmental knowledge.

The primary focus will be on projects assessing contamination status and developing cost-effective, pragmatic remediation solutions, liaising with regulators, and satisfying planning requirements. The role is mainly office-based, with some site work, including supervising ground investigations and remediation projects. Occasionally, site work may be more intensive. There may also be opportunities to work on short-term projects across the UK and internationally.

At Arup, you belong to an extraordinary collective that encourages individuality. Our strength lies in respecting, sharing, and connecting diverse experiences, perspectives, and ideas.

You will have the chance to do socially meaningful work that benefits Arup, your career, our members, clients, and communities.
