You will have the opportunity to contribute to a wide range of projects and bids across business areas and within the wider Arup network, including international opportunities. You will also ensure all designs and documentation meet the highest professional standards. As a senior member of the team you will perform a variety of roles including strategic advice and technical consultancy, working with the IM leader in the West to develop and implement a work winning plan to create a case for team growth in the region.
