Job description

Joining Arup

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

Our process chemical and process engineering team comprises specialist chemical engineers, scientists and industrial experts who shape everything from conceptual design ideas through pre-FEED and FEED to completed turnkey facilities. We support projects at all stages of delivery, ensuring safe, regulatory compliant solutions. We focus on design development, process optimisation, debottlenecking and control of chemical, physical, and biological process, from hydrogen production to carbon capture and transformation through to water and wastewater treatment.

We are looking for candidates with a background in Process engineering design on multi-disciplinary projects within the municipal and industrial water sectors. With our depth and breadth of skills, our team is currently involved in many exciting projects across the Energy, Water and Resources sectors. Whilst the team is based across the UK, much of our work involves supporting projects internationally, integrating with teams in our offices across the globe.

The Opportunity

We are looking for candidates with a background in Process engineering design on multi-disciplinary projects within the municipal and industrial water sectors. With our depth and breadth of skills, our team is currently involved in many exciting projects across the Energy, Water and Resources sectors. Whilst the team is based across the Cardiff and Birmingham, much of our work involves supporting projects internationally, integrating with teams in our offices across the globe.
